When we were planning things to do in North Devon, the other attraction near to where we were staying was The Big Sheep. I have to admit, I was pretty curious about a day out that featured sheep as the star of the show. As with all days out these days, booking in advance is…
When I was looking up things to do in North Devon, The Milky Way Adventure Park was one of the first places to come up in my search. It was not far from where we were staying in the Hartland Peninsula and it’s near to Bideford too. If you want to visit The Milky Way,…
In collaboration with Hotels.com, but all views are my own. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got really itchy feet at the moment. It’s been a long few months, hasn’t it? Whilst lockdown has been completely necessary, so many people, us included, have found it challenging for many reasons. I simply can’t deny that…
Devon is very much a favourite UK holiday destination for us these days. You may have spotted that we stayed at Crealy Resort in October and I decided to take the opportunity to go to North Devon for a few days as well. I’m a huge fan of making a few stops when we are…
We were provided with a complimentary stay at Crealy Theme Park & Resort during Spook Fest in exchange for this review. Some holidays should just be easy. We have lots of different types of adventures with the kids but sometimes we just want them to have fun. Sometimes we like to go away with out…
Crealy Theme Park & Resort have provided us with a glamping break during Spook Fest for this collaboration. If you haven’t already heard of it, Crealy Theme Park & Resort is a family holiday and theme park destination in beautiful south Devon. We were lucky enough to visit Crealy Meadows and stay in one of…
Fossil hunting is such a fun holiday activity for kids visiting the Jurassic Coast. When we spent time in Devon, we visited Seaton beach with the girls. We didn’t really have a plan for our fossil hunting but we ended up finding rocks full of fossils. There were large rocks full of small molluscs that…
Devon is such a beautiful part of the UK with so much to offer, but a lot of people seem to pass it by in favour of it’s more famous neighbour Cornwall and I really don’t know why. This is such a shame as Devon is a beautiful county packed with things to do and…
Brook and I headed to Pennywell Farm in South Devon looking forward to our day out with reasonable exceptions about what may lay ahead that day. We’ve visited many farms over the years, and I thought we knew what to expect as we arrived at Pennywell that morning. I should have known better, as Devon’s…
On our recent visit to South Devon, we decided to go to Dartmoor Zoo, or Dartmoor Zoological Park as it’s officially known. Brook loves animals so it made perfect sense to add a visit to the zoo to our holiday. During our visit to the zoo, we were also booked to have a private ‘Reptile…
I have to confess I’d never heard of Cofton Holidays in Devon until very recently. Since our stay at the luxury apartments at the Cofton Holiday Park in Devon, I’ve been telling everyone about them. It seems only right for me to share our Cofton Holiday here with you too. Brook and I drove from…
Over the last couple of years we have had the absolute pleasure of being able to enjoy some wonderful Devon holidays with kids in this beautifully picturesque part of the UK. I think going on holiday to Devon is sometimes overlooked in favour of places like Cornwall or Wales, which is such a shame, as…
Hello readers! Thanks so much for stopping by once again. If you are new here, a huge welcome to you as well and I really hope you enjoy what you find here on Zena’s Suitcase blog. I guess you might have stumbled across this post if you are looking for places to eat in Exeter…
Visiting Devon gave us as a family the chance to learn more about the fascinating Jurassic Coast and the incredible history and geology connected to this beautiful part of the UK. Seaton Jurassic is an attraction I really think you should add to your list of things to do in Devon if you are keen…
For our last full day in Devon we decided to visit Wildwood Escot for some outdoor adventure with the girls. After speaking to Claire at Andrewshayes Holiday Park this Devon attraction sounded perfect for us. It was close by and it sounded like another unique place to visit. We discovered that Devon has lots of…
Kids and transport go so well together, so it seemed obvious for us to include a visit to Seaton Tramway on our recent holiday to Devon. If you are staying at Andrewshayes Holiday Park, it literally is on your doorstep. A really good option for visiting this Devon attraction is to drive to the tram…
