Where to go on holiday

Exeter is a great base and plenty to see there alone. All weather entertainment with coastal walks on the estuary and indoor bits in town - RAMM museum, live music at the phoenix, more bars and restaurants than you could ever need. Lots of small independent shops/food places now too.
The North Devon coast is lovely, as is north Cornwall, both viable daytrips. Padstow, St Ives, Salcombe, Croyde, Sidmouth are all worth a visit.

I live in Exeter, grew up in Exmouth. Plenty to do in and around the city (underground passages, indoor rock climbing, RAMM museum) and only a short drive of fabulous beaches and Dartmoor too. You can hire bikes or kayaks from the quay and access the incredible cycle paths to exmouth or paddle down to double locks pub. Topsham is well worth a visit. Restaurant there called The Salutation is incredible. Michael Caines has just opened Lympstone Manor which has a Michelin star. Also train links to Exmouth or Dawlish beaches. As for restaurants in the city there’s plenty. Obviously all of your chains but some of the better ones are Bills, Cote, Harry’s, Lloyds. Some decent independent burger bars too.
Cafe on the Exe is stunning and pretty unique
Teignmouth as a town is pretty rundown, as is Torbay.
Feel free to fire me some questions if you need.

Paignton has it all, several nice beaches starting with the town beach itself with children's play park and lots of grass areas for nice days plus a range of restaurants and pubs all within a stones throw of the beach. Should it rain there is the multiplex cinema again on the sea front, shops of the seaside kind or Steam railway. Evenings offer entertainment in the theatre in Paignton or Torquay as well as several clubs if that's where your interests lay. Just outside of town there is Greenway where Agatha Christie would enjoy relaxing. Dartmoor is a short drive away with all it has to offer or maybe a trip to Exeter now just 25 to 30 minutes away thanks to the new link road out of the bay. Plymouth is perhaps 35 to 40 minutes away and Brixham, well who knows with the road works and traffic at peak times. Also just outside of town at Goodrington beach there is a Go Kart track and water park on good weather days or another big boys Go Kart track on the way to Brixham. Also there is a swimming pool/sports centre a short distance from Paignton town centre or a pool with wave machine in Torquay.
There that should keep you busy and entertained.
