Winter Breaks by the Sea: Why Escaping to Devon is the Smartest Move You’ll Make This Year

Winter Breaks UK

Winter breaks have a knack for cutting through the noise of life. The relentless ping of work emails, the doom-scroll of news, and that overflowing laundry basket all lose their grip the second you swap it for the Atlantic coast. At Westward Ho! Holiday Park, Braddicks Holidays serves up something rare: affordable escapes just steps from the sea, where families reconnect, couples rediscover each other, and even the dog looks smug with sand on its nose.

Why Winter Breaks Work Better Than a New Year’s Resolution

Let’s be honest. Dry January won’t save you. A week of cabbage soup certainly won’t. But a few nights on the North Devon coast? That’s restorative. That’s practical. That’s walking along a near-empty beach with cheeks burning from the cold, followed by fish and chips so hot you can barely hold them. That’s the kind of resolution you actually keep.

September & October Offers That Make Escaping Easy

Right now, our Affordable September and October Breaks from £270 are the perfect excuse to get away before the year barrels into Christmas chaos. Whether you fancy a short midweek stay or a long weekend of fresh air and frosty mornings, the value speaks for itself. Why wait until next year to recover when you can feel human again before the clocks change?

Accommodation That Suits Every Kind of Escape

  • Couples in need of calm: Swap crowded commutes for clifftop strolls, sunsets for two, and evenings cocooned in a cosy caravan.
  • Families reconnecting: Board games, hot chocolates, and sandcastle competitions (yes, they still work in winter). All made easy with self-catering spaces designed for real life.
  • Pet-friendly stays: Our dog friendly holidays make sure tails are wagging and paws are sandy. No guilt, no kennels—just proper family time.

Last-Minute or Planned to Perfection

Sometimes you need a break that’s inked in the diary months ahead. Other times, you realise on a Thursday that if you don’t see the sea by Saturday, someone in the office might not make it. Our last minute caravan holidays are designed for those moments. Pack a bag, chuck the dog in the back, and let Devon do the rest.

The Simple Joy of Being Seaside in Winter

There’s something undeniably dramatic about the coast in winter. Waves thunder in, skies stretch endlessly, and the air is sharp enough to clear a year’s worth of stress in one breath. Then comes the reward: back to your warm base, heating humming, kettle on, and the guilty pleasure of a nap while the wind rattles outside. It’s therapy—just without the awkward silences and hourly rates.

Choose Your Kind of Caravan Holiday

Our modern, heated caravan holidays give you more than a place to sleep—they’re the backdrop for storm-watching, lazy breakfasts, and evenings you’ll remember for the right reasons. Think of it as the best bits of camping, minus the wet socks and early morning frostbite.
