For generations of families, Devon has been the go-to destination for unforgettable holidays at the great British seaside. With its mix of golden beaches, fun-filled attractions and picture-perfect countryside, it’s no wonder holiday parks here continue to delight families year after year.
Yet, with so many parks to choose from – from well-known chain resorts to friendly independent sites – finding that perfect family base can feel overwhelming.
If you’re dreaming of a truly special family break, here’s a glimpse at what makes Welcome Family at Dawlish Warren a firm favourite with guests.
What Matters Most on a Family Holiday?
Every family is different, but when it comes to choosing the right holiday park, some things matter to everybody – safety, comfort and the promise of magical experiences. A family park is so much more than four walls and a bed; it’s the warmth of its welcome, the range of activities that spark joy and the extra touches that make your visit feel special.
Whether it’s laughter over dinner, a fun splash around in the pool or compelling entertainment, the best parks put experience first and let families enjoy so much more than a good night’s sleep.
The Welcome Family Difference
What sets Welcome Family Holiday Park apart is its proud independence and personal approach. Run by the same welcoming team for almost forty years, this seaside haven in Dawlish Warren feels genuinely shaped by its guests. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, are a multi-generational family with kids and grandkids, or have even brought along your faithful four-legged companion to join in the fun, there’s a place for you that feels just right.
Accommodation choices range from spacious lodges and cosy bungalows to modern caravans and pet-friendly apartments. Each is designed for comfort and ease, and most have access to outside space so you can soak up that Devon sunshine at leisure.
But what guests rave about most is a sense of belonging. From the moment you arrive, staff remember faces, children are greeted by name, and year after year, families return, saying it feels like coming home.
Fun for Every Generation
Holiday parks in Devon often promise plenty of entertainment, but not every park delivers the same sparkle! At Welcome Family, both the activities and the atmosphere set a new standard. Families love the wide range of facilities, from the four heated pools – a must after a long car journey – to the adventure playground and on-site amusement arcade. The daily entertainment programme is legendary, featuring lively music, West-End-style stage shows and activities for all ages, from toddler crafts and family talent contests to disco nights that have the whole family dancing.
Best of all, everything is included, so you don’t need to worry about incurring extra costs for the fun your kids will remember all year.
The Magic of Dawlish Warren: Days Out on Your Doorstep
Location matters, and Dawlish Warren is the jewel in Devon’s crown for family days out. Within minutes of the park, Dawlish Warren’s Blue Flag beach beckons with its safe, sandy shoreline – perfect for sandcastles and sunset strolls – and its nature reserve.
There are loads of options if you want to branch out, too. Animal parks and water parks provide heaps of family fun, and there are plenty of places to go messing about on rivers and dip your toe into rockpools and crabbing adventures. The region is rich in nature reserves and it’s only a short hop to the wilds of Dartmoor, home to those iconic ponies.
If you fancy a little urban adventure on your family holiday, Dawlish Warren is ideally located with Exeter, Totnes, Teignmouth, Plymouth and Torquay all within easy reach for a fun day out.
