The best Devon cottages by the sea

The Beach Hut

Published 29th July 2026

A British staycation doesn't come more classic than a holiday cottage on the Devon coast.

It's giving seaside adventures, beach days, cream teas, rockpooling and probably having your ice cream stolen by a seagull.

In homage to Devon's glorious coastline, we've chosen 20 of the best Devonshire cottages near the beach - plus a few treehouses and cabins we couldn't leave out.
