Worth knowing before you book

The independent parlours and farm creameries are the ones worth the walk — look for 'made on site' on each place's page, and expect honest seasonal hours outside summer.

Browse the ice cream & creameries themselves in our Eat & Shop Local guide, or see all holidays in Devon for the full picture.

Frequently asked questions

Are these proper ice cream places?

Yes — independent parlours and creameries from our Eat & Shop Local guide, not a freezer in a corner shop. Each has its own page with what it makes.

Do I book through this site?

No — every listing links straight to the holiday operator and you book with them at their live price. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
