Whether you're staying up late to boogie the night away or just fancy a drink and a snack, you'll find what you need in the local pubs and dining venues. With so much going on you can choose a hotel, guesthouse or B&B right in the heart of town or further out that will suit your budget and your needs.

Activities from Devon Hotels on the English Riviera

Many locales like Torquay along the English Riviera are fringed by palm trees and overlook award-winning beaches. There's always plenty to do in the water here during a family holiday, and also attractions like the magnificent Geopark. This stretch of the coast is recognised by UNESCO and is a unique environment in which to get the kids interested in fossils and dinosaurs.

Babbacombe Bay is especially popular for its cliff top walks and stunning vistas. It has England's highest promenade and the views from here across south Devon are simply breath-taking. In nearby Paignton there's a famous zoo as well as lots of family-friendly attractions. Crabbing and rock-pooling are great fun here and on Goodrington Sands there's a Seashore Centre for visitors to the shoreline to learn more about the various things they've caught at low tide. This makes a great day out from your Devon hotel or B&B, whether you're based on the coast or inland.
