Here at Sweetcombe HQ we are keeping a close eye on the latest government guidelines and listening to our local East Devon Council. Of course, public safety is paramount, and, so when it is safe to do so, we, along with all other attractions and local business are looking forward to welcoming you to Devon, with safe social distancing measures in place.

With international travel on hold for the near future, now is the perfect time to plan your UK staycation for when it is safe.

So, whether you’re trying to reduce your airmiles or wanting a last-minute holiday in Devon, read on to find out why East-Devon makes for the perfect self-catering holiday.
