Unique, fun active gift!

We had a fantastic morning out on the water, such a fun and memorable experience! Despite the rain and mist, it was still brilliant and actually added a really atmospheric feel to the whole trip. Exploring the Devon coastline by kayak was amazing, and our tour guide was excellent, sharing interesting insights and pointing out highlights along the way. One of the real highlights was spotting some lovely seals in their natural habitat, which made it even more special. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something active, scenic, and truly unique!

Lovely place to stay.

The guest house was very clean and tidy with tasteful decor. The owners Mel and Trish are lovely people. Unfortunately Buyagift took 30% of the worth of the voucher away from the original price which was a voucher for £100. The business owners had to take a £30 payment from us which is poor, especially as the voucher was a gift! I don't think we will use Buyagift again!

Two Night Glamping Experience for Two
Ktf · 10-05-2026

Amazing

Using the gift voucher was so easy, when I needed to extend due to illness, staff were very helpful. Will definitely buy another. The choice if hotel was spectacular, the room was beautiful, the taster menu was absolutely delightful and delicious. The staff at the hotel were amazing, polite, helpful, always smiling. The young girl who did the taster menu descriptions was very engaging and passionate about the food. We will be back to stay and eat again.

Superb

The hotel was fabulous and really good prices at the bar... The carpark was a bit expensive at £25 per night and only 16 spaces but better than leaving in an insecure space. The staff were absolutely amazing especially Hazel ????
