Our main holiday this year is in WDW in October, so over the long summer holidays, DH and I decided to try a rent a cheap caravan for a week. Our DDs aged 10 and 6 had never been in a caravan before and were very excited. We booked a caravan in Seaton, Devon. As it was last minute, all the 'nice' caravans were booked, so we had one of the older ones. I asked if they were non-smoking, but unfortunately not. Warning bells should have started ringing then!
We set off on the Saturday, expecting long queues, but apart from a few short hold-ups we got there fine, in about 3 hours.
All ready to go!
The caravan was OK, a little old and shabby, but with a strong smell of smoke. We opened the windows and sprayed some air freshener, but there was not much else we could do.
Sunday: We took the girls to the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. No photos today sorry. We then went to Budleigh Salterton and walked along the beach, and bought the best ice-creams we have ever had. DDs had vanilla and chocolate, I had banoffee, and DH had 2 scoops, turkish delight and honeycomb. Wow - they were fantastic!
Monday: We went to a hedgehog hospital, where we saw hedgehogs (obviously!), donkeys, ponies, and lots of other farm animals. It was a very small place, but the girls had a great time.
On the way back to the caravan, we stopped at Exmouth beach, where the girls had lots of fun in the sand.
We then called back to Budleigh Salterton for more of those ice-creams, but they were shut.
