For A Stay At A Charming Country Hotel Devon Is A Great Option

by Tracie Knight

Sometimes a holiday really needs to be an opportunity to get away from it all. If you need to recharge your batteries, you're not going to be able to do so in a bustling, exciting city destination such as New York or Tokyo. You need to head back to nature instead and just spend your days exploring or curling up with a good book. For the perfect <A href="http://www.Ilsington.co.uk">country hotel Devon</A> is the ideal destination.

The county of Devon is located in the southwestern part of England. Its southern coastline borders the English Channel which separates the British Isles from the European mainland. In the north the county meets the wide Bristol Channel. There is only one more county, that of Cornwall, to the west while to the east, the county also known as Devonshire is bordered by Somerset and Dorset.

Also known as Devonshire, the county is one of the most popular destinations in England if you love nature. A part of Exmoor National Park is located here, as is the entire Dartmoor National Park. With valleys, gentle hills and moorland, there is plenty to do in the outdoors, from hiking to fly-fishing. Go canoeing on the rivers or cycle along lovely country lanes surrounded by orchards and pastures where dairy cattle graze.

The coastline offers a different type of experience. In the north it's quite rugged with dramatic cliffs and you'll definitely want to go hiking here. In the south you'll find excellent opportunities for sailing on the English Channel. Devon also boasts beautiful beaches and great surfing.

Plymouth is the largest of the cities in Devon and has historically been an important harbor. It was from here that people like Sir Francis Drake and the Mayflower's Pilgrim Fathers set sail. Exeter with its stunning cathedral and medieval architecture is another popular place to visit. However, don't just stick to the larger towns when you want some culture. The charming villages throughout the countryside are well worth exploring and you can't leave without having had a drink or two in a real English pub.

While pubs are usually associated with beer and Devon produces some excellent craft brews, one drink not to miss is cider. Plymouth is home to a famous gin distillery and you'll even find a couple of wine-producing vineyards. An abundance of agricultural produce means that there's plenty to eat too, from pasties and Hog's pudding to cheese or the decadent Devonshire cream tea. Crabs as well as fish and chips are popular at the coast.

The climate tends to be quite mild and in summer, you'll find plenty of sunny and warm weather perfect for the beach. During winter, snow isn't very common except in the high-lying areas. It's best though to check the climate data for the specific part where your chosen country hotel is located because there's quite a bit of climate variation depending on where you are.

It's easy to find a Devon country hotel. Simply go online and look at the different options. You can also try your luck at village inns once you're in the area. However, especially in summer, it's best to book ahead.
