Somewhere Different for New Year: Bideford, Devon

Somewhere Different for New Year: Bideford, Devon

Thousands of revellers throng the quayside in Bideford, North Devon, from early evening onwards as they gather in fancy dress to celebrate the end of the old year and the coming of the new. Young and old enjoy family street entertainment and mingle and dance in the streets to live music and local DJs. All the pubs are packed to the rafters. As midnight approaches, everyone gathers near the medieval Long Bridge, waiting for the church bells to ring in the New Year.

Holiday Cottage Specialists My Favourite Holiday Cottages have a choice of accommodation nearby. Groups can stay at South Clay, a luxurious 5-star holiday home sleeping 10 – 12, complete with its own log burner to warm up after your evening out. (A week over New Year costs £2400). Or stay at North Hill Holiday Cottages: Eight 3-star rated, self-catering cottages, complete with their own pool, sleeping 2-6 people (prices from £495). Some may enjoy the sea views at Oak Lodge at Forest Lakes, which sleeps ten. 

My Favourite Holiday Cottages offers speedy access to hundreds of inspiring properties via their stylish website. Contrary to most holiday rental sites, My Favourite Holiday Cottages offers direct access to an owner’s website upfront. There are no booking fees or commission charges payable when you use the site to book a holiday cottage.

“An owner’s website is more personal and will reveal the cottage's character_,” advises MD Rick Bond. “We know from experience how we book holidays; therefore, My Favourite Holiday Cottages only include properties with their own website.”
