Those thinking of renting a cottage in Devon should head to the south coast, it has been suggested.
The Lonely Planet has proposed holidaymakers take a walk along the South West Coast Path National Trail, which spans 630 miles.
One circular walk recommended by the trail's website is from Salcombe to Bolt Head, which it claims is "guaranteed to lift the spirits" due to its inspiring views.
And visitors might also like to take a trip to Hallsands, the Lonely Planet suggested, where you can marvel at the ruins of a fishing village that was abandoned after a storm in 1917.
The guide also advocates heading to the National Trust properties of Coleton Fishacre in Kingswear and Agatha Christie's former home Greenway, near Brixham.
It was recently stated by Sarah Streeter, marketing manager for Visit South Devon, that the region offers a combination of tranquillity and dramatic scenery, with activities for all ages and budgets.
