Alpaca Walking Devon
If you fancy a change from walking the dog, how about walking an alpaca? The Woolley Animals Alpaca Walking & Farm Park is just 15 minutes from the hotel and has a farm park with goats, sheep and pigs, as well as the unique alpaca walking.
Opening times are variable and they only open at weekends in the off-season, so please check their website for details and prices. Sorry, but dogs are not allowed.
One of two large adventure parks in North Devon, The Big Sheep Amusement Park is a great day out for the family with rides, entertainment and petting zoo. It has a rollercoaster, train rides, pedalos, and animal nursery as well as a large indoor playground.
The park is about 45 minutes away in Bideford. Attraction details, opening time and tickets are available on their website.
The Milky Way Adventure Park in Cloverly is about 55 minutes from the hotel. Like The Big Sheep, it also offers a wide range of rides and attractions for all ages and features a birds of prey show.
Dogs are welcome at both The Milky Way and The Big Sheep. Full details about the park, opening times and tickets are available on the website.
