For this year's summer holiday, our first having to deal with school holiday schedules, I put my foot down against the grossly inflated prices most holiday locations charge. Don't get me started as I could rant all day about it! Instead we decided to have a Trip Advisor holiday...... we picked the general area, this year we went with the Plymouth area of Devon as I had many happy family memories of holidays there during my own childhood. From there we searched Trip Advisor to find a place to stay, places to eat and fun things to do. Accommodation was B&B in a small guesthouse (The Phantele)which was charming, hosts were wonderful,breakfast was delicious and price didn't blow our budget!
Day one we chose to spend the morning visiting the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. (The Donkey Sanctuary). I've always loved donkeys and we thought a quick visit to this charitable center was a good way to start our week - we hadn't expected to still be there at lunchtime - so much to see and do!
