Self catering accommodation is the ideal solution for those seeking the freedom from schedules and itineraries, allowing you to enjoy your holiday in the own way and at a pace dictated only by yourself. It is very often the case that making the all important final decision as to which cottage to stay at proves to be the hardest part, with such a variety of self catering accommodation to choose from.

Visitors to the bordering West Country counties of Cornwall and Devon are specially spoiled for choice; captivating picture postcard villages, seaside retreats, evocative moor hideaways - there are so many locations that offer a room with a view. One of the best ways to pare down your options for self catering accommodation is to seek an area offering unlimited choices for the holiday enabling variety and diversity without travelling too much; one day can see you walking the archaeological rich paths of Dartmoor, another going for a round of golf at the local club, another visiting museums and galleries of local artists or strolling along a sandy beach backed by impressive cliffs. One location which matches all of these requirements and more is the North Devon, Holsworthy area.

In addition, this region also caters for those wanting that something extra from their self catering accommodation; a little luxury to return to at the end of the day of walking, horse-riding, sailing, fishing or exploring castle ruins or alternatively a location to relax in all day long, inside the privacy of beautiful gardens.

The region of Holsworthy is also a great choice for anyone unsure whether to choose Cornwall or Devon as their destination. This area offers the best of both worlds, sitting as it does so close to the border of Cornwall and allowing the visitor to explore and reap the benefits of both counties from their luxury self catering base. Devon and Cornwall are renowned for their top rated beaches and high water quality and many of them are life-guard patrolled in summer making them a safe family choice. Alternatively, the picturesque coves of this beautiful coastline offer a perfect setting for those on a romantic break.

Self-catering accommodation is available year round and offers short breaks or longer holidays depending on your requirements. It is perhaps no wonder that the Holsworthy area sees the return year after year of holiday makers who've discovered that the independence self-catering accommodation allows, within an area so rich in natural splendor and activity options, makes this a wonderful vacation destination.
