I've just come back from an absolutely amazing massage at Purity Skincare and Beauty. Mariam made me feel so at home the minute I got there and very safe with all of the Covid precautions in place. The treatment room is absolutely stunning and I was so warm, comfortable and relaxed. Mariam was so friendly and kind and completely put me at ease. She also gave me lots of really useful advice about skincare, too. I honestly can't recommend Purity enough and I'm so glad that I got to experience it for myself. If you're thinking about a pampering session, this is THE place to go.

Had a fantastic full day with Devon Adventure; caving in the morning and gorge walking in the afternoon. We had 14 scouts in our group and they all loved both activities. We were in the very capable hands of Simon and Steve who were both very encouraging to everyone in our group. They notice who is "mad keen" and who is more cautious and give spot on advice and encouragement to all so that everyone has a top trip. At the end of our summer camp where every day went really well, all of the scouts named either the caving or the gorge walking (or both) as the best part of their week. We'll be back for more, thanks Devon Adventure :)

We attended a half day spun sugar workshop and had an excellent time. My husband was a bit reluctant at first, but really enjoyed it. Jim was great, explaining everything clearly but also with humour. We managed to make everything planned and although we could not take them with us (we were not going home that day), were pleased to see that the sugar was going to be recycled. A great morning that I thoroughly recommend.
