Holiday Homes in Devon: A Buyer’s Guide in 2025

Dreaming of escaping to clifftop sunsets, sprawling beaches and limitless coast-path adventures? Devon delivers all of that in spades, while still feeling reassuringly familiar and wonderfully British. Add in the freedom of having your own modern holiday home or luxury lodge, and suddenly spontaneous long weekends or six-week summer escapes are always on the cards.

This guide will explore everything you need to know before buying a holiday home in Devon in 2025; why the county remains the nation’s staycation superstar, what makes Victory’s homes stand apart, and which model might suit your lifestyle and budget.

Why Devon is a Staycation Superstar in 2025

Commonly known as “Mother Nature’s Playground”, Devon is blessed with two National Parks (Dartmoor and Exmoor), the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast and a range of Blue Flag beaches. It’s little wonder why Devon is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, and why visitor numbers continue to climb.

Beyond picture-postcard landscapes, Devon offers:

1. Year-round appeal: Surf in Woolacombe in September, walk across snow-dusted hills in January or kayak up the River Exe in April. The mild South-West climate means you can have year-round fun no matter what your hobbies are. 
    
2. Historic cities: Exeter’s Gothic cathedral and Roman walls sit happily alongside independent shops and bakeries, while maritime Plymouth serves seafood suppers with a side of live music. 
    
3. Attractions for every generation: From the Babbacombe Model Village and Splashdown Quaywest to Dartmouth’s regatta and the National Marine Aquarium, there’s plenty to keep all generations interested with what Devon has to offer. 
    
4. Sun, Sun, Sun: Devon receives around 4,487 hours of sunlight a year – roughly 187 days – making it a favourite destination for those who love feeling the sun on their backs. 
    

With such breadth, Devon avoids the stop-start seasonality that can challenge other regions of the UK. Parks stay busy through spring and autumn, enhancing potential letting returns and ensuring on-site facilities (pools, restaurants, spas) remain open longer.

The Upside of Owning a Holiday Home in Devon

There are many upsides to owning a holiday home in Devon. Some of our top picks below include:

1. Freedom & Flexibility: Bookings can’t sell out when you own a holiday home. You can spontaneously drop everything for a weekend getaway or when you’re planning a fortnight summer holiday. 
    
2. Potential Income: High, year-round demand means many holiday home owners can get healthy returns when they rent out their holiday home. We have written a handy guide on ‘Renting Out Your Static Caravan’ for more information.
    
3. Cost Control: No more worrying about cottages or Airbnb fees. Site costs are predictable and often spread monthly. 
    
4. Personalisation: There’s more room for personalising your home away from home when you own a holiday home. Whether it’s painting your decking or hanging your favourite decorations, a holiday home is your space to personalise.
