Seaton, Devon
Does a day at the seaside appeal when you’re on your large group holiday in the West Country? Well, how about Seaton, on the coast of East Devon and just a 30-40 minute drive from our luxury large group holiday houses?
The beach is a mile long and pebbly, but it never gets crowded, which is good. People come here to bathe, to kayak and paddleboard, and for the angling, which can be good in the summer months. Stroll out to the western end of the beach and you’ll find the Hideaway Café tucked between the cliffs; stop for a bite to eat and then wander on to explore the rockpools if the tide is out, or climb the steps to the clifftop at Seaton Hole where you can carry on up through the woods and back down to town.
Good for exploring are Seaton Marshes, bordering the River Axe estuary on the edge of town; there are boardwalks that are pushchair and wheelchair friendly, nature trails, bird hides and a Discovery Hut where you can hire pond dipping equipment. You can ride through the wetlands on Seaton Tramway where they run regular events like Birdwatching Trips, Mother’s Day Weekends, and at Christmas, The Polar Express. Wander back into town for eats at Le Pisani or The Shed Steakhouse & Grill.
