Had a great weekend at Damage Barton campsite in Stan The Van.
I absolutely loved this site, each pitch had a sea view ! very clean and well maintained.
The weather was great, the company fab and of course we ate and drank far too much.
On Saturday we took a bus ride into Woolacombe, could very easily have walked in along the coast path but one companion has a dodgy knee the other a dodgy hip, the joys of ageing !
less crowded but still busy in the town. We managed an hour on the beach then set off in search of lunch and had a walk around the little town. In the evening we went into Morthoe for a meal
We had booked into Miss Feas cafe, what a glorious meal, if you are in the area its worth trying out, you do need to book in advance though as its very popular.
Sunday saw us miss the rain so we set off to Chambercombe manor, as seen on TV's most haunted !
We had booked a tour, really interesting to hear about its history, the guide was amazing. No spirits to be noted though. The grounds are a bit run down but the house tour is well worth a visit. There's a little café so you can also grab a drink & snack.
We then headed into Ilfracombe for a mooch
and had a walk on a little beach so our friends hound could take a dip!
Overall had a great weekend, really enjoyed it and felt very relaxed coming home. We only have 1 more trip away in the van booked, which is quiet sad as I have really enjoyed our summer of adventures.
That looks a fabulous break for you. I've never watched Most Haunted but would love to wander round that haunted house. I always love to see a dog enjoying the beach and a dip in the sea. You are so fortunate to have all these adventures.
ReplyDeleteI really am, I do count my blessings.
DeleteThat sounds like a lovely weekend, you managed to pack a lot into your few days away.
ReplyDeletewe certainly did, it was great to mooch about.
DeleteIt looks like you had a lovely time away. It's a long time since I've been on the beach at Woolacombe. I remember we used to walk along to Morthoe to get ice cream. X
ReplyDeleteMorthoe is a fabulous little place, the fish and chip shop is great too!
DeleteOhh I'm fancying fish'n'chips now; better get some dinner sorted. So does Stan the Van go into storge for the winter - or do you keep him handy in case of a nice day and a trip out?
ReplyDeleteWe have a hard standing for Stan in the back garden so we can just go on a whim. Its quite secure as is Stan and says the faff of having to go and pick him up each time.
