Marsdens Devon Cottages Providing stunning self-catering holiday cottages throughout Devon. Marsdens Devon Cottages is an independent family business which started in 1973. Just ask!

We’ve grown a lot since the early days of letting our first self-catering holiday cottages, but our promise to provide the very best service – as well as a fantastic range of great places to stay – hasn’t changed one bit. As every year goes by, our experience continues to grow. Our office is in the pretty North Devon village of Braunton, which is close to the beaches at Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe. Most of our staff live locally and many of them have been with us for a number of years. This means they know the area well, have visited many of the properties themselves and can offer well-informed recommendations. Of course, our knowledge extends far beyond Braunton and the beaches of North Devon. All our properties are visited and inspected by our staff regularly so we can usually answer any questions you may have about a particular property. If we don’t know the answer ourselves then it’s never a problem to get in touch with the property owners. We enjoy good relationships with all our owners. Got any questions? Get in touch with the team on 01271 813777 or email us at [email protected].

As the seasons change, the moor's valleys, ancient woodlands and winding rivers transform into a patchwork of gold, amber and fiery red. Whether you're wandering through ancient forests or taking in the views from a windswept tor, there's nowhere quite like Dartmoor in autumn.

There's something magical about Exeter in autumn 🔮🍂✨

Exeter feels extra special in autumn, with its ancient walls, historic buildings, cosy cafes, and mystical character. Did you know that many places in Exeter were actually inspirations for Harry Potter, and you can even take Exeter University's new postgraduate program, MA in Magic and Occult Science, which covers the history of witchcraft, ritual magic, and Western esotericism?

Here are some magical must-visit places to add to your Exeter itinerary...

📖 The Devon and Exeter Institute: A stunning independent historic library and educational charity that offers public tours every Wednesday. They are currently displaying a 'poisonous books' exhibition, which features historic 19th-century books bound in toxic arsenic-infused emerald green pigments.

⛪ Exeter Cathedral: With nearly a thousand years of history, Exeter Cathedral has been captivating visitors for centuries. The cathedral is one of Exeter's most iconic landmarks, with nearly 1,000 years of history and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England.

🚪10 Cathedral Close Door: This ancient carved door in Cathedral Close is thought to be the inspiration behind the door for the Room of Requirement in Harry Potter. It is a must-visit when in the city, with fascinating history that dates back to around 1600.

🍻 Turks Head Pub: Step inside The Turk's Head and step back in time. It is one of Exeter's oldest pubs that has welcomed visitors for more than 700 years, with centuries of stories hidden behind its doors. It serves a range of beers brewed on site alongside local ales, ciders and a food menu packed with pub favourites.

🛍️ Gandy Street: Tucked away just off Exeter's High Street, Gandy Street feels like stepping into another world. With its cobbled pathway, colourful shopfronts, independent boutiques and cosy cafés, it's one of the city's most charming corners.
