Birthday holiday

My birthday is coming up and me and the mrs spoke about going away.

We live in Kent and was saying about going to the west country. We are on a bit of a budget but want the best value for money.

19th July till 23rd July if anyone can help.

Many thanks.

    Just had a brief look but at £700 for 4 nights, it's not really what we're after. Was after something under £300 really. Not bothered about it being fantastic, as long as it has stuff to do.

    Even Haven etc... is looking quite good right now.

    Sounds good. Do you think it's a good place for a couple though?

    We've never had time together since the birth of our daughter.

    Thanks

    The devon cliffs site is Havens flagship site, I've not stayed there, but have been near the site, at those prices thats a bargain would snap their hand off, as your on the 1st weekend of the school holidays and the prices just rocket.

    A lot of couples go theres entertainment on site, spa facilites, couples go, families, go, lovely area, if you drive you not far from Exeter, Dawlish / Dawlish Warren,/Dartmoor theres plenty to do.

    We normally stay at Dawlish sands - Dawlish warren - 3 ngts 20th Feb brinze 6 berth caravan - £320
