Located near Sidmouth in East Devon, this Devon holiday park has easy access to local jurassic beach sites and fishing villages with pubs and restaurants. The park consists of self Catering brick built cottages with attractive pitched tiled roofs overlooking the sea next to the world famous Donkey Sanctuary.
Shaggy Sheep Wales
Shaggy Sheep is a Welsh Holiday site with a difference, come on, you have gotta love that name. And frankly people don't get to Wales on holiday enough. On their site they have a range of packages to choose from and some "Amazing Adventure Activities". They arrange stag/hen dos, as well as cottage breaks. We liked this site even if the sheep noises did scare us at first.
Waterscape
Fancy a boating holiday or short break in a cottage by a canal? This well designed site offers waterway holidays, short breaks and late deals.

Places to Visit
