Welcome to The Classic Guide We want you to enjoy the best that the South West has to offer so we've put together a guide to help you to decide where to go and what to do. A few years ago, the Classic Cottages team started writing about where we live and why we love it. What began as a series of mini-guides to help guests in our holiday cottages make the most of their time on holiday gradually evolved into The Classic Guide, our 'do-it-yourself' travel guide to things to do and places to visit in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset. Between us, our team of 33 people share around 511 years of local knowledge. We like to think this helps The Classic Guide to go that little bit further than your average tourist information site. Alongside the big name attractions, the Michelin-starred restaurants and the picture postcard beaches, you'll find the off-the-beaten-track gems, the secret low-tide coves, the middle-of-nowhere pubs and end-of-the-lane farm shops to give you a backstage peek at all the South West's best bits. From the wild western tip of Cornwall to deepest Dorset, we've scoured Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset for the best they have to offer - so pick an area and browse to your heart's content. Tick items as you go to build up Your Itinerary of things you really want to do, the places you just have to visit and, of course, the pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes where you want to indulge. Our Days Out and Short Breaks will give you ideas for things to do with the family, days out without the car and our pick of the best walks, foraging and places to unwind. Over time, we hope this will become your space as much as ours, so please, dive in.
