When it comes to planning a getaway to Cofton Holidays, summer often steals the spotlight. But those in the know will tell you, May also has some magic.
Tucked neatly between the fresh bloom of spring and the buzz of peak season, May in Devon offers a sweet spot that feels like a well-kept secret.
Imagine strolling along the shoreline without the summer crowds. Beaches are calmer, coastal paths feel more personal, and there’s space to truly soak it all in. Whether you’re exploring hidden coves or taking in panoramic views along the South West Coast Path, May gives you Devon at its most peaceful.
Devon truly comes alive in May. Think rolling countryside bursting with wildflowers, bluebell-filled woodlands, and hedgerows buzzing with life. It’s the perfect time for walking, cycling, or simply slowing down and enjoying the view.
At Cofton, you don’t even have to leave the park to experience it, our grounds are teeming with wildlife and colour at this time of year. As well as walks on-site, you can hire out our E-Bikes and explore from the park to the fantastic surrounding cycle paths available.
With the days stretching out and the evenings staying lighter for longer, there’s more time to make the most of every moment. Whether it’s a relaxed afternoon by the pool, a sunset drink on Amelias Balcony, or an evening stroll, May gives you that extra breathing room summer often rushes past.
You’ll still find plenty going on, from live entertainment on our Swan Patio to our Rock’n’Roll themed weekender and delicious dining without the peak-season pace. It’s a more relaxed, laid-back atmosphere where you can enjoy everything Cofton has to offer, at your own speed.
With great availability and often better value than peak season, May is a brilliant time to enjoy a Devon escape that feels both indulgent and effortless.
Select from our variety of accommodation such as our Cofton Cottages, Eastdon Apartments, dog-friendly caravans, glamping pods and touring pitches. We have something for everyone!
If you’re looking for that perfect balance of beauty, calm, and adventure, May might just be the best time to visit Devon. It’s quieter, fresher, and full of those little moments that make a holiday truly memorable.
So while everyone else is waiting for summer, you could already be here, making the most of Devon’s best-kept secret.
