Birthday Celebrations 🎉Last weekend we welcomed a group celebrating a 30th birthday here at Valleyside Escapes in Devon. They exclusively hired our courtyard bar on Saturday evening for a private celebration with friends and family.

A delicious BBQ was provided by South Devon Hog Roast, and one of the guests - a professional singer - created the perfect atmosphere with live entertainment earlier in the evening.

If you’re planning a milestone birthday, anniversary celebration, family gathering or private party in Devon and are looking for a unique countryside venue, we’d love to hear from you.

Get in touch to find out more about private hire at Valleyside Escapes.
