Wouldn't it be good to -
Disconnect the Digital and Re-connect to Nature..?
Don’t you just long to escape the Technology
Treadmill, concentrate on recharging your body’s batteries rather than your
mobile’s, switch off your addled brain along with your laptop and relax..?
Maybe it’s
time to make a little bit of time for yourself, enjoy the many benefits of
nature and discover for yourself how much better you can feel after just a few
days break away from it all.
Tune In to Nature, Turn On your Senses, Drop Out of the Rat-Race…
…And wouldn’t
it also be great to find a quiet, peaceful haven where you could spend your
days exploring the nearby coastal and countryside walks, rivers and nature
reserves to your heart’s content and your evenings relaxing with delicious
home–cooked food and perhaps a swim, sauna or Jacuzzi to round off the day
perfectly..?
Sound too good to be true?
You can rest
assured that not only is Stoke Lodge Hotel in the idyllic South Hams the ideal
location for exploring and unwinding, but we’re all geared up for helping to
