Children are most welcome in our Devon self-catering cottages.

Whatever the weather and whatever your interests, there is always a wide and plentiful choice of family activities in and around Torquay. As well as the marvellous Devon beaches there are many National Trust gardens and houses, South Devon Steam Railway, Paignton Zoo, Pennywell Farm and Wildlife Centre, Dartmoor, The Hedgehog Hospital, Butterflies and Otters at Buckfast, Babbacombe Model Village, Castle Drogo, Woodlands Leisure Park, The River Dart Country Park, Buckfast Abbey and many many more.

BABBACOMBE MODEL VILLAGE - No visit to the West Country is complete without a trip to the Village. Beautiful thatched villages along with Tudor and Georgian buildings are but a small part of the offering. To this unique blend of style, charm & nostalgia have been added countless touches of humour. There are thousands of character figures - see if you can spot the celebrities. You can also visit the wonderful Indoor Model Railway and the award-winning gardens.

PAIGNTON ZOO is home to some of the world's most endangered plants and animals. Visit the website to find out about the enormous range of animals who all live in their own habitats.

CASTLE DROGO: This granite castle, built between 1910 and 1930 for the self-made millionaire Julius Drewe, is one of the most remarkable works of Sir Edwin Lutyens. Perched on a moorland spur over the River Teign, it commands spectacular views of Dartmoor. The interior combines the grandeur of a medieval castle with the comfort of the 20th century. There is a delightful formal garden with roses and herbaceous borders, as well as spring flowers and many fine walks on the estate.

PENNYWELL FARM: Devon's No.1 Day Out. Come and experience the Pennywell magic at this multi-award winning visitor attraction... you'll never want to leave. New activities are scheduled every 30 minutes. Bottle feed the hungry lambs, try Pennywell's unique and thrilling down-hill Go Cart ride, visit the wonderful array of birds at the Bird of Prey Centre, meet the animals in a guided tour including goats, lambs, ponies, and donkeys, cuddle the guinea pigs and mice, feed the piglets and many more activities besides.

QUAY WEST is the English Riviera's only water park. Go wild and get wet! Choose from 8 different flumes from the gentle SURF LAGOON to the exhilarating SCREAMER or the wild KAMIKAZE. All together nearly one mile in length. Are you brave enough to go on the DEVILS DROP, the highest, fastest flume in England - 65 feet of excitement. Quay West is safe and secure with qualified Lifeguards and First Aiders on duty at all times so you can let the kids go fluming crazy while you have a swim in our pool, designed especially for the over 5s! For younger ones there is the TOON TOWN POOL where they can paddle in safety.
