In recent years there has been a huge rise in popularity for active holidays. According to a survey by Nielson 1 in 3 millennials now actively seek out a more adventurous holiday. So, if you’re finding that lounging by the pool with a book in one hand and a cocktail in the other isn’t quite the right fit anymore, maybe now is the time to take a look at an activity holiday.

There are so many benefits to an activity break, but lots of people are put off by the fear of not being ‘fit enough’. At The Manor & Ashbury Resorts we welcome guests of all ages and abilities to join us for our multi activity holidays. Whether you’re looking for activity holidays for families, as a couple, or a single traveller, you are sure to feel welcome at our resorts in Devon.
