East Allington holiday cottages

About East Allington

East Allington is a small, rural village with a strong sense of community. Expect a warm, welcoming vibe when you enter the local pub, The Fortescue Arms, for a pint of local ale or chilled glass of wine. Enveloping you in a sense of calm, holidays here are the kind where you can wake up to the sound of birdsong and nothing else, and go to sleep at night with a clear view of the constellations.

The immediate surroundings are ideal for really taking time to unwind. Go for long walks in the countryside, take a good book and enjoy the uninterrupted calm. All that said, it is not without its adventures. Hidden in this sleepy location you will find activities including go-karting and the annual Whacky Races event, which fundraises for the Devon Air Ambulance.

For those who want to explore further, jump in the car and within a five mile radius you will find towns including Kingsbridge and the famous seaside town of Salcombe, both of which offer an abundance of boutique shops and independent cafes.

One of the region's major draw-cards are the beaches and coastal walks along the South West Coast Path. From East Allington, you are just four miles from the famous beach and nature reserve at Slapton Sands, as well as enjoying close proximity to Thurlestone, Bigbury and Bantham, the latter two famous for their surf conditions.

You are also well placed to explore South Devon's most enchanting towns. Nearby Totnes offers creativity, individuality and arts and crafts in abundance, while Dartmouth is a historic harbour with chocolate-box architecture that really comes to life during its summer regatta.

Holidays in East Allington offer a truly relaxing rural escape, with the region's beautiful beaches and lively towns all within easy access.
