Seaside cottage holidays in Devon are the stuff of dreams, with stunning coastline, soft sandy beaches and rugged little coves to explore coupled with beautiful English countryside. Devon really is the perfect place to spend a family holiday.

Kids just adore a traditional seaside bucket and spade holiday – it’s the simple things they love – playing for hours on sandy beaches, catching little fish and crabs from the rock pools. It never gets old.

With so much to see and do in South Devon it’s the perfect place to rent a holiday cottage.

How to serve scones

Is it jam or cream first on a scone?

Well this is a heated debate! I wouldn’t like to say which is the right way… is there even a right way? But I prefer the jam first and the cream dolloped on top…. even though I think that’s the Cornish way and in Devon it’s cream first….

However our delicious fluffy scones are perfect with strawberry jam and clotted cream whichever one you put on first. Oh and of course a nice pot or two of tea.

You could also go all out and do an afternoon tea party spread if you like. Just make up the following afternoon tea sandwiches, remembering to cut the crusts off.

Afternoon Tea Sandwiches that go perfectly with scones

  • Egg mayonnaise and cress
  • Cheddar cheese and ploughman’s pickle
  • Beef and horseradish
  • Ham and mustard
  • Salmon and cucumber
