A trip to sunny Devon with The Holiday Cottages

Planning a trip, holiday or a short break to Exeter in Devon? The Holiday Cottages www.theholidaycottages.co.uk has the perfect place to stay only 4 minutes’ walk to John Lewis, the city centre shops and amenities. Full of character and ancient history, Exeter is still able to offer all the amenities and comforts that would be expected of a modern day city. Exeter is the capital city of Devon and provides the county with a central base for education, medicine, religion, commerce and culture. It is also home to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, which dates back to Norman times.

The surrounding area of Devon with its sweeping countryside, its narrow hedged roads and lavished green fields are only a few miles from the centre. And with its pivotal position within the county, Exeter is also ideally placed to base a trip to branch out visiting places such as the famous Dartmoor National Park and the unspoilt beaches of two coastlines.

The Holiday Cottages is an easy to use online directory for self catering accommodation in the UK and Ireland and recommends the following cottage in which sleeps 1 – 5 people:

Badgers Grove Apartment, Exeter, Devon

Red Nose Day / Comic Relief 2013

Today The Holiday Cottages www.theholidaycottages.co.uk is celebrating Red Nose Day for Comic Relief 2013.

What is Red Nose Day?

The concept is simple – everyone has a laugh whilst raising money to help change countless lives across the UK and Africa.

Every two years, thousands of people do something funny for money. They do it at home, at work, in schools and, well just about everywhere!

They even do it on TV, with the BBC giving celebrities and comedians an entire evening to entertain the nation whilst urging them to donate generously.

Comic Relief’s mission is to drive positive change through the power of entertainment.  

Today’s challenge at The Holiday Cottages to raise money for this charity involves the following:

·         For every order taken today by card over the telephone, £1 is donated.  Would you like to get involved and advertise your self catering property on www.theholidaycottages.co.uk? Click on our advertising link blow:

http://www.theholidaycottages.co.uk/advertise.php and call us on the telephone number provided.

·         All employees attending work in pyjamas are to pay £1.

 

·         As we celebrate a colleagues birthday today, for every order taken there is a Red Nose picture on the wall with a question and amount written in £’s on the back. Get the question right and the amount goes to Comic Relief as well as towards the internal company challenge however get the question wrong and the amount will ONLY be donated to charity.

The Holiday Cottages www.theholidaycottages.co.uk takes part in this event every year and makes it a fun and entertaining day but we all remember why we are raising money towards this charity so close to people’s hearts.

Previously we have all baked our own cakes and sold them to companies nearby to raise money and all employees have thoroughly enjoyed it and, as always are excellent sports.

Don’t forget to watch Comic Relief is on BBC one tonight at 7pm. It’s a night of entertainment so massive, so stuffed full of comedy and so, well, so entertaining that it might just burst your television. It’s worth it, don’t miss it.
