Exactly? Anchor Cottage, centrally located in the picturesque village of Noss Mayo.
When? September 2020
With more and more destinations abroad requiring quarantine on your return, there’s never been a better time to indulge in a little UK staycation. One of my favourite parts of the country is Devon on the South West coast.
Here’s my Style Traveller guide to The Perfect UK Staycation & what to do in Devon.
Last week I packed up the mini and headed over to the picturesque, sleepy coastal village of Noss Mayo in the south of Devon. The drive from London took exactly 4 hours and we did a quick stop off at the ancient site of Stone Henge to break up the journey.
With a dreamy waterfront location in the centre of Noss Mayo and sunny views of the bay, Anchor Cottage is a gorgeous 4 bedroom, self catering property.
It’s the perfect base for families or small groups on a Devon staycation. Particularly baring in mind the latest 6 people (bubble) government regulations.
The open plan, fully equipped kitchen and airy living room space with balcony makes it the perfect place to socialise or chill out. There are parking spaces with the house and the garage has kayaks and life jackets if you’re feeling energetic.
The prettiest local beach is only 1 mile away.
From the rugged moors, stunning beaches to the chic shopping areas and pretty towns, Devon has a wealth of wonderful activities to keep you busy on your staycation.
Devon has many beautiful beaches but perhaps my favourite is Milton Sands. Whether you’re into surfing or just fancy dipping your toes in the water and a picnic, a beach day is just what the doctor ordered.
A day trip to Dartmouth is the perfect way to spend a culture day in Devon. This quaint British coastal town is super pretty and colourful.
Meander around the historical area, take in views of the harbour and enjoy a glass of Pol Roger at Platform 1 Champagne Bar. Rockfish is the best local seafood restaurant, it’s so popular that people queue around the block for their fish and chips take away.
One of the most stunning natural landscapes in the country. Walking along the moors is a great way to spend the day in Devon. Here’s a shot of my friend Katie (below) having a picnic on the moors with Pepy her pom. https://www.instagram.com/katie.kalanchoe/
The town of Salcombe, also known as ‘Chelsea on Sea’ is a chic seaside town in which to indulge in a spot of boutique shopping or enjoy a traditional clotted cream afternoon tea.
The pretty white washed streets are filled with quaint shops, galleries and cafes. It’s the perfect place to while away a lovely afternoon.
The countryside by Anchor Cottage in Noss Mayo is so rustic it would be a shame not to discover the local area. So take one of the walks around the area which takes you from water side to clifftop and admire the cute, floral, white washed cottages on route.
Round off your exercise with a traditional pub lunch at The Ship Inn, the best gastro pub in the area. (Pictured above)
