Romance needn’t be just for Valentine’s Day; it’s best enjoyed year-round. England is packed with romantic destinations, and Devon is no exception. Against a backdrop of wild moors, pristine beaches and bewitching star-filled night skies, Devon has something to offer lovebirds of every type. 

You can hunker down together in a country cottage or indulge yourselves at one of Devon’s spa hotels. Food lovers can step out for dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant or enjoy a sumptuous cream tea in a romantic rose garden. And couples with a love for the outdoors can explore fossil beaches, medieval towns and quintessential English villages before relaxing beside a crackling fire at the end of the day. 

If all of this is getting you starry-eyed, it’s time to book a romantic Devon break. By way of a little inspiration, here’s our pick of some of the most romantic hotels in Devon.
