Country Cottages in Devon

Cottages in Devon for 6 people

A country cottage in Devon for 6 people is an average size for most family groups. A cottage that can accommodate six generally has 3 bedrooms. See 3 bedroom cottages in Devon.

Always check how beds are arranged in cottages. There is nothing worse than booking a three bedroom cottage only to discover that it has 3 double beds. The norm is one double and 2 twin bedrooms with single beds although various permutations are possible. There may be bedrooms with bunk beds which are fine for children but not favoured by adults, beds with zip link beds that convert from a super-king size bed to two singles. Cottage advertisements do not always make the bed organisation clear so it is wise to phone before booking to double check.

The other question you may wish to pose is whether sheets are changed at the end of each week, even if you have booked a two week stay.

Pets are almost always not permitted in bedrooms for reasons of hygiene. This includes pet-friendly cottages.

One of the main factors in choosing Devon for a family holiday is the number of good beaches and seaside resorts. Find out more about seaside cottages.

• Beaches in north Devon - the north coast, good for surfing
• Beaches in south Devon - south coast with lovely beaches such as Sidmouth and popular seaside towns of Brixham and Torquay

There are plenty of cottages for 6 people in Devon to choose from. If you are not sure about where you would like to book, you may perhaps like to view cottage brochures and read about a variety of holiday cottages that sleep 6.

The positive aspects of self-catering enable families to experience happy cost effective holidays centred around children. Devon is a superb family break destination but so is Wales and many other locations. The other factor that keeps families returning to Devon for holidays is the weather, it is definitely sunnier and warmer down south.
