VisitEngland National Awards for Excellence 2025
The results are in for 2025! Following a rigorous judging process by handpicked tourism industry experts, we can finally reveal the national winners from Devon!
PUB OF THE YEAR - GOLD The farmers arms devon
This traditional village pub with a modern twist takes locally sourced, homemade produce to a whole new level. Everything from cordial to crips is made in house. They also forage for ingredients in the surrounding North Devon countryside, and their farm supplies the kitchen with seasonal produce, rare-breed, and heritage meats. In summer, the beer garden buzzes with locals enjoying a wide selection of craft ales and ciders. Come the colder months, the cosy interiors provide the perfect setting for a leisurely Sunday lunch by the warmth of an open log fire.

Self Catering Accommodation OF THE YEAR - BRONZE WOlF WOOD TREEHOUSES DEVON
Tucked away in a secluded woodland in central Devon, Wolf Wood Treehouses are the place for ultimate peace and quiet, except for the tweets of neighbouring birds. Nature with a heavy dose of understated luxury is the order of the day here. Four handcrafted treehouses come with floor-to-ceiling views of ancient forests and sumptuous, snooze-inducing interiors. Before you nod off in your king-sized bed though, be sure to soak in the fresh air and blanket of stars above from your own private hot tub.
