Devon holidays cottages with sea views

There’s only one thing better than a holiday cottage in Devon and that’s a holiday cottage in Devon with a sea view.

Devon has one of the most wonderful coastlines in the UK. With its sandy beaches in the north and south and shingle stretches backed by dramatic cliffs in the east, it’s a haven for holidays with sea views. No matter where you choose to stay, whether cliffside cottages or beach-facing homes, the views will be spectacular. Here’s what you can expect from some of Devon’s most picturesque spots.

Locals to the area, our Luxury Coastal team have searched Devon high and low to source the best of its luxury holiday cottages with sea views, so whether it’s ocean panoramas and the quiet atmosphere of a small South Hams village you’re after, or sparkling bay views and the cosmopolitan buzz of the English Riviera, we’re certain one of these gorgeous properties will tick all your dream getaway boxes.

Cornwall cottages with sea views

Surf, paddle and sunbathe all day long, then chill out with a BBQ to an amazing sunset. There’s something about Cornwall holidays that like you, we simply can’t seem to get enough of. Take Porthcurno or Carbis Bay beaches for instance. On a sunny summer’s day when the water is clear and aquamarine, and the sand icing sugar white, you’ll think you’re somewhere on the Amalfi Coast, maybe better!

With its 400-plus miles of coastline wrapping around the southwestern tip of England, Cornwall offers many wonderful and varied sea views. There are the wave-lined, sandy shores of the north, the rugged cliffs and expansive beaches of the west, and the sheltered bays, headlands and estuaries of the west.

So, it would make sense that finding a cottage with a sea view in your favourite spot in Cornwall would make your beach break just that much more magical. And it’s why we’ve carefully selected the best of the bunch for you to choose from. So, if you’d like to wake up to the sea lapping the shore below your fisherman’s cottage in Mousehole or watch surfers catching barrels at Gwithian from your sleek, glass-fronted beach house, we think you’ll love these stunning sea view properties.
