Start 2012 with a bang.

The year 2012 is going to be an historic one for many reasons – and why not celebrate with a wonderful break in the South West? A Marsdens self catering holiday offers you a Visit England quality assured property in the most popular tourist region outside of London. We have a superb range of  cottages right across the West Country, from Wiltshire to Cornwall, all of which offer great value and a great holiday-home from home!

North Devon is simply stunning. Award winning beaches, chocolate -box villages and the prettiest National Park in the land contribute to make this the perfect location for a family holiday.

Home to the iconic pasty and cream tea, Cornwall is one of the UK’s holiday hotspots thanks to its beautiful countryside and wealth of family and cultural attractions.

To the north Somerset is a destination with dramatic coastline, seaside resorts and home to the country’s largest natural gorge at the internationally famous village of Cheddar.

Wiltshire offers a worthy contrast with undulating farmland, the stunning Cathedral city of Salisbury and of course the magnificent Stone Henge.

We are proud of our holiday cottages and we are proud of our reputation as the South West’s leading holiday lettings agency. Why not call one of our lovely team today and chose the holiday you and your family deserve.

New Year’s Eve in Bideford

 

 

 

We are very lucky to have here in the beautiful South West one of the top ten venues for New Years Eve celebrations, so if you’ve still not decided where to spend this special time look no further. Every year thousands of people flock to the pretty little town of Bideford wearing the most amazing fancy dress costumes you are ever likely to see. All the Quayside Inns are buzzing and the outdoor radio road show has people dancing in the street. As midnight approaches huge crowds gather along the quay and along the old bridge to watch the spectacular firework display….lots of oooohs and aaaahs guaranteed!

Christmas treats at The Big Sheep

Last weekend in town I was almost trampled underfoot in the Christmas rush and so tomorrow I am going to avoid the stress of long queues and visit The Big Sheep, just down the road from Appledore & Westward Ho! It hosts a fantastic traditional country farmers market, the biggest in the South West, every week between now and Christmas, and I shall be tantalizing my taste buds with some delicious local fare.

The children can enjoys themselves in the Big Sheep’s winter wonderland with outdoor skating rink and toboggan ride while I shop in peace in the Sheepy shop….try saying that 3 times over….and find some unique and quirky gifts. There is always such a social buzz and a really great festive ambience….I can’t wait!

 

 

The way to a girls heart!

There was lots of excitement in the office today when we received a fabulous Christmas Hamper packed full of mouth- watering goodies. Food is definitely the way to our hearts and what could be better than delicious treats and award winning products,  all found right here in the West Country. I have lots of family in other parts of the country and my sister would just love to receive something like this…….rather than the usual calendar, bath salts and slippers…….and so I found Delimann.co.uk. I was amazed by the wide range of gifts and hampers available from this West Country family business.  They have a real passion for great quality food and excellent customer service……..so we definitely have something in common there too!
