Devon park serves up a ‘bray and breakfast’ option

Guests staying at a Devon holiday park can this year enjoy a VIP donkey experience guaranteed to raise smile.


Oakdown Holiday Park in Weston near Sidmouth is offering holidaymakers a behind-the-scenes introduction to the world of Britain's largest equine charity.

The Donkey Sanctuary, adjacent to the park, provides care for around 500 of these animals, many of which have been neglected, over-worked or abandoned.

Working in conjunction with the park, small groups will spend a hands-on morning helping the sanctuary team with a variety of tasks including grooming, walking, feeding and petting.

But it's not all donkey work. The VIP package also includes a slap-up farmhouse-cooked breakfast with a special gift for younger donkey devotees.

Oakdown Holiday Park, owned by the Franks family for more than 40 years, provides caravan holiday homes to rent and buy plus camping pods for hire.

In 2015, it beat more than 900 other UK parks to take the title AA Campsite of the Year.

The £38 per person cost of the ‘bray and breakfast’ experience includes a donation to the charity.
