Double Delight at the Devon Tourism Awards: Award-Winning Accommodation in North Devon
Wins for Saunton Beach Villas and the Braunton Accessible Bungalow at the Devon Tourism Awards!
On November 21st, the 15th Devon Tourism Awards took place at Plymouth’s Crowne Plaza Hotel, celebrating excellence across Devon’s tourism and hospitality industries. With over 25 competitive award categories, we were honoured to be recognised alongside the county’s finest businesses.
We’re delighted to share that we came home with wins for both Saunton Beach Villas and our Braunton Accessible Bungalow:
- 🏅 Gold Award: Dog-Friendly Business of the Year – Saunton Beach Villas
- 🥉 Bronze Award: Accessible and Inclusive Tourism – Braunton Accessible Bungalow
We are truly grateful for these awards, which reflect our ongoing efforts to provide inclusive, welcoming, and enjoyable holiday experiences for our guests and their dogs. It was a privilege to attend the ceremony and celebrate alongside so many inspiring Devon businesses making a positive impact across the county.
Saunton Beach Villas is the perfect choice for those seeking dog-friendly accommodation in Devon. We welcome all dogs—there are no breed or size restrictions—and offer spacious Beach Villas with enclosed gardens. The Villas are just a short stroll from Saunton Sands Beach, one of the UK’s most dog-friendly beaches, where dogs are welcome all year round. Saunton Beach is backed by Braunton Burrows UNESCO Biosphere reserve, offering miles of walks and endless opportunities for adventure. We also have a dog shop on site, which stocks a range of unique treats and accessories for your dogs, many of which are made by local Devon suppliers.
Braunton Accessible Bungalow is an ideal choice for those seeking wheelchair-friendly and accessible accommodation. Designed with accessibility, comfort, and convenience in mind, it features a profiling bed, ceiling hoist, en-suite wetroom, height-adjustable kitchen, and step-free access throughout. The Bungalow boasts a large, enclosed garden, providing a safe space for dogs to enjoy. The Bungalow is a true passion project, created to make North Devon holidays accessible to everyone. We look forward to growing this project – so watch this space!
The Devon Tourism Awards recognise businesses that consistently go above and beyond to deliver excellence, especially during challenging times for the hospitality industry. We couldn’t have achieved this without our incredible team, whose hard work and passion shine through in everything they do, or our loyal guests, who trust us time and again to create memorable holiday experiences.
