Devon, England

In January, we had the honor of attending our very good friends, Ben & Sophie's beautiful wedding in Devon, England. Here some other highlights...

Stay/Play
The Buckland Tout Saints hotel is a secluded William and Mary Manor house tucked away on the lanes of Devon and it was the venue for Ben and Sophie's stunning reception. The rooms are luxurious and modern and the food is delicious, especially the breakfast which will power you up for a day of walking and sightseeing.

Visit
Bantham Beach
I was sceptical, at first, of finding a beautiful sandy beach in England. But I was proven wrong as we approached the breath-taking and expansive Bantham Beach. I can imagine it is packed in the summer with beach goers and surfers alike.

Dartmouth
Dartmouth is a cute sea side village with spectacular scenery, many restaurants and shops, and possibly the best fish and chips I've had in England!


Eat/Drink
The Sloop Inn
Around the corner from Bantham Beach is the fantastic Sloop Inn pub. Yes, you're arguably in the middle of nowhere but the inventive cuisine will make you think otherwise.








Holiday-tion Style Tip:
  • Hunter wellies keep your feet dry and comfortable while exploring the Devon countryside.
Holiday-tion Lit Pick:
  • The Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer (yes, I read them!)

Up next: Paris
