As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, November is the perfect time to wrap up warm, escape the everyday routine and enjoy some quality family time. From crisp countryside walks to cosy evenings together, a family weekend break in South Devon is a wonderful way to make memories before the festive season begins.

At Cofton Holidays, our beautiful corner of Devon offers the perfect setting for a little autumn adventure. Whether you’re planning a spontaneous weekend away, treating the family to a change of scenery or simply looking for an excuse to slow down, there’s plenty to enjoy whatever the weather brings.

Get Outdoors & Explore Autumn

With golden leaves, woodland paths and crisp countryside air, November is the perfect month to pull out the wellies, grab your coats and head outdoors.

Take a wander through Cofton’s woodland walks, explore the grounds and enjoy the seasonal scenery along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, let the little ones burn off some energy and make a game of spotting autumn leaves and animals along the path.

Fancy a change of scenery? Dawlish Warren beach is just a short drive away, making it ideal for a family stroll by the sea. There’s something special about a windswept beach walk followed by a warming drink, whether you’re searching for shells, watching the waves or simply enjoying a little fresh air together.

Family Fun, Whatever the Weather

Of course, November weather can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop when the clouds roll in!

Cofton has plenty of ways to keep the family entertained, whatever the forecast. Take a dip in the indoor swimming pool, challenge the family to a game in the arcade or enjoy some craft sessions with the family in our New Creative Studio.

There’s also plenty of space for little ones to play and explore, giving everyone the chance to enjoy a break filled with fun, laughter and a little friendly rivalry.

And when you’re ready to put your feet up, you can slow things down and enjoy a more relaxed afternoon. After all, a weekend away is just as much about those quieter moments as it is about the adventures.

Enjoy a Taste of Devon

No family weekend break would be complete without some delicious food along the way. Whether you’re starting the day with a hearty breakfast, stopping for a relaxed light bite at lunch or sitting down together after a busy day exploring, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy good food and great company at Cofton.

Visit Amelia’s for a bite to eat, or head to the Swan Inn for a relaxed drink and a chance to unwind. With locally sourced ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s easy to turn a simple meal into another lovely holiday memory.

And if you’re heading out to explore the local area, you’ll find plenty of charming cafes and independent shops, perfect for a little family adventure.
