Normally 3 nights or more are when the discounts begin, especially if staying mid week.

You are likely to get the best standard of accommodation for your money if you stay outside the most popular areas of Devon such as Torquay, Paignton and Ilfracombe. Many people prefer the less visited areas of Devon where there is still plenty of breath taking scenery, such as the South Hams area around Totnes and Dartmouth, or ancient market towns in East Devon such as Ottery St Mary. As they are less tourist rich, you're likely to find a few great cheap hotel deals in Devon in such locations. Always worth looking around!

Cheap self catering holiday cottages in Devon, as well as flats and apartments, are rated using the English Tourist Council (ETC) diamond rating system. At the cheapest end of the market there are many properties that choose not to go through the expense of accreditation and pass on those savings to their customers. Non-accredited accommodations can therefore be very cost effective but you have no guarantee of the services on offer.

How to make a Devon break or holiday cheaper

Booking very early can often save you money. Hoteliers like to fill up their rooms in advance and are especially keen to get deposits and advance payments out of season. For example, making a week long summer booking in November or December is more likely to get you a cheaper holiday than making the same booking in Easter.

Booking late or last minute can also save you money. It is much better for a room or cottage to generate some money rather than no money. Check the 'Availability' section on many of the iknow-devon listings for late availability.
