There happened to be a show going on and there were many vendors with stunning displays. If I lived nearby, I'd get a membership and be there all the time. The grounds are dog friendly and have a food hall and restaurant. They are really great about signage--many of the plants are marked. RHS Rosemoor is a gardener's dream!

Wow, love this place. It's a hidden gem, an enchanted garden. To reach the hotel, you walk up a…read morepath which is flanked with large beautiful sculptures. We were really going to the five times award winning restaurant, Terra Madre (part of the Slow Food network), for their 3 course lunch at £14.95 en route to our destination in North Devon, so did not have time to book ahead. Booking is essential. So we were offered the Bar Menu instead, which was actually a very good choice, 3 home made tapas dishes for £9.95, which consisted of a rather large bowl of piping hot buttersquash soup with two slices of homemade crusty bread, garlic prawns, hake in tomato cassoulet, garlic mushrooms, and Moroccan style lamb casserole. We added a couple of side dishes of mixed salad and homemade sourdough bread and olive oil. What a feast, all so, so delicious too! Fresh and more-ish, yum! With the booked lunch, you get a free ticket for the Sculpture Park, otherwise it is £4.50. After the meal, we had a look at the interesting art gallery cum dining hall. Some lovely pieces of art and paintings which can be bought. There are also tables outside to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, have a drink or eat al fresco. Will need to return to wander round the Sculpture Park properly, in such a relaxed and beautiful setting.

Broomhill lies in one of the most glorious valleys in North Devon surrounded by hundreds of acres…read moreof woodland and bound by its own stream. The Broomhill Sculpture Park displays one of the largest permanent collections of contemporary art and sculpture in the South West. 300 sculptures by over 60 sculptors are sited in 10 acres of garden that present a wonderful balance between art and nature. This place is quite fantastic and is apparently one of very few art hotels in the UK. During your stay you can not only walk around the gardens and view all of the sculptures, but you can even purchase them afterwards (if you bring a very big chequebook!!). The gardens were a little drab when we visited, (but it was December!!), but I would imagine that during the warmer months they are quite breath taking. An art gallery is situated in the main dining area of the hotel itself and has many many pictures to view and purchase. The place caters for all sort of events such as weddings, large and small parties and corporate events (with its very own corporate facilities). The hotel is also renowned for its many Jazz events held throughout the year. The rooms are very reasonably priced and you get alot for your money. They are very spacious and have everything you need to make your stay very comfortable, with beautiful views over the Devon countryside. The setting is very rural and therefore very quiet and makes for a very relaxing stay and a very quiet nights sleep. The staff are a husband and wife combo (Dutch), and are two of the friendliest people you will ever meet in this business, who could not do enough to help you (especially if you like to drink tea!!). The food is organic and sourced from the local area, which is probably why it tastes absolutely fantastic (the Morroccan food is especially nice). Even if you don't stay at the hotel you should try out its restaurant, which is also very reasonably priced considering the standard. If I was going to be very very fussy then I would have to say that the alcohol is a little pricey, but I suppose it is a hotel after all. Saying that, if you visit their website, you will find that the hotel does do a number of offers to bring the price of staying at the hotel down even further i.e. B&B and reduced price evening meal. A must stop when visiting N. Devon.

Funderzone is a big indoor soft play centre. There are climbing frames, inflatables, ball pits,…read moreslides and lots more for your child to enjoy. All of the equipment is safe and surrounded in safety netting. There are staff that watch the children to make sure no one is messing around. But obviously you will need to keep an eye on your children to. There is also a room upstairs which has a pool table and downstairs it has a few arcade machines where you can win teddies and sweets. Whilst your children are running around you can get something to eat in the café which is all open plan. The café sells burgers, chips, hot drinks, cold drinks and slush puppies etc.. I find the food is slightly over priced but it tastes nice. The good thing about the cafe being open plan is that you can see your children playing; there is some seating underneath the play equipment as well so you can look up and see your children. The play centre is to suit all ages and I'm sure your children will love it.

She's good, and very passionate in a quiet way about her craft - a real traditional artisan who will probably carry on learning and experimenting until they pry the clay out of her hands. And she offers value for money - she doesn't do hugely expensive art objects, she makes affordable, useable heart-full objects that will fit on your table or your sideboard. She'll also welcome you with a tea and a talk about all the qualities of ceramics she so admires - and as you buy you can see her workshop and meet a true craftswoman.
