Other things to note We are passionate about the fabulous local products that Devon (and the wider Southwest) has to offer, especially the fabulous food and drink scene. There are some great food festivals and farm shops to sample products, and the Devon County Show in May is an annual highlight. We buy local whenever possible. See the e-Guidebook for local eating out recommendations, farm shops, vineyard tours and rum/gin distillery tours and ask us about markets if you’re interested. Please let us know if you are bringing a dog that has any specific needs so we that can ensure all 2 and 4 legged guests are always kept happy and safe.
