The South Hams of Devon is one of the Country's most popular holiday destinations. Ashprington is an ideal base from which to explore the area. There is something to offer everyone on our doorstep from Totnes with its shops, Dartmouth for boats and Dartmoor for something more wild!

​

All of South Devon's idyllic beaches are within easy reach including, Bantham, Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands. 

​

The rugged North Devon coast is easily reached for a day trip. 

​

We can provide recommendations for most activities but here are some of our (and our childrens') favourite places to eat:
