The Most Popular Summer Weeks Go First
Summer in Devon is special, and families know it.
School holidays, particularly late July and August, are always the first to fill. May half-term and early summer weekends also disappear quickly, especially for larger properties.
Booking before the end of March means:
You can choose the exact dates that suit your family
You avoid compromising on arrival days
You won’t have to ‘make do’ with what’s left
When summer arrives, the last thing you want is to wish you’d booked sooner.
Early planners get the best pick of the calendar, simple as that.
You’ll Have the Best Choice of Properties
Not all cottages are the same, and everyone has their favourite features.
Some guests prioritise:
Hot tubs with countryside views
Enclosed gardens for children or dogs
Spacious kitchens for family meals
Extra bedrooms for grandparents or friends
Larger farm cottages, in particular, tend to be reserved months in advance. Multi-generational holidays and group stays require space, and those properties are always in high demand.
Booking now gives you the time and space to compare properties properly. You can think about what matters most; layout, views, proximity to play areas, or that extra bit of privacy, without feeling rushed.
By spring, availability often becomes patchy. Before March ends, you’re still in control of choice.
Devon Is Worth Planning For
There’s a reason guests return year after year.
Spring and summer in Devon means warm coastal breezes, open landscapes, and long evenings that stretch on beautifully.
From our countryside stays, you’re perfectly placed to explore some of the region’s most loved spots.
And after a full day exploring?
You return to peaceful countryside. Space for children to run safely. BBQ evenings overlooking fields. The gentle rhythm of farm life in the background.
It’s a slower, calmer kind of spin and summer, and it starts with securing the right base.
Having a Holiday in the Diary Changes Everything
There’s something powerful about having a break to look forward to.
Through the tail end of winter and into early spring, daily life can feel busy and grey. Booking your summer holiday gives you:
A shared family countdown
Time to plan days out and activities
The reassurance that quality time together is protected
It turns vague ideas into something real.
Guests often tell us that once their Devon break is booked, the year feels more organised. School terms feel shorter. Work feels more manageable. There’s a sense of anticipation that builds with every passing week.
You’re not just booking accommodation, you’re securing time together in a place designed for slowing down.
Peace of Mind Before the Spring Rush
By April and May, enquiries increase significantly. With that comes tighter availability and fewer flexible options.
Booking before March ends offers:
Greater availability across properties
Current pricing secured
Time to save money for your trip
Space to plan without pressure
It’s simply calmer.
Rather than competing for last remaining weeks later in the season, you can relax knowing your escape is already in place.
Devon Is Closer Than You Think
For many of our guests, Devon feels like a proper escape; rolling countryside, fresh sea air, wide open skies, yet it’s still within comfortable reach for a UK staycation.
Choosing a Devon stay means combining rural tranquillity with easy access to beaches, walking routes, and family attractions. It’s the best of both worlds: coast and countryside, activity and rest.
But those ideal weeks don’t stay available for long.
Secure Your Stay Before March Ends
If you’ve been browsing and saving properties for later, consider this your gentle nudge.
Dates are already beginning to fill, particularly for larger cottages and peak school holiday weeks. Booking now ensures:
The property you truly want
The dates that suit you
A escape to look forward to
At Devon Farms and Country Stays, we’d love to welcome you for a Devon summer filled with fresh air, freedom, and time well spent together.
Check availability today and secure your countryside escape before March comes to a close.
