Welcome to our Epic England Road Trip. We're going to show you just how easy it is to take to the road, no matter where that road is. This time around, we decided on England. I priced a few different options but eventually settled on a ferry to Wales and a road trip across the south of England to see the best of what’s on offer for families.
Stick with us over the next couple of weeks as I detail our Epic England Road Trip that includes visits to the National Motor Museum, Chessington, Stonehenge & Bath among others but this week we’ll kick off the series with a trip to The Big Sheep one of Devon’s premier attractions.
How to get there:
Where to stay:
As we were doing this trip on a budget we mainly chose Travelodge’s or Premier Inn’s for the duration of our road trip. Our first night we stayed in Travelodge Barnstaple (EX31 3RZ) as it’s just a 15 minute drive from The Big Sheep. We received a lovely warm welcome, check-in was very efficient and we had no issues. The room was the same as every other Travelodge we’ve stayed in clean and comfortable which does the job perfectly when all you want is somewhere to sleep. We paid £64/€75.81 for 1 night room only for 2 adults & 2 kids. *cough*
Where to eat:

The Big Sheep:
I was surprised to find there’s an onsite brewery at The Big Sheep so I went along to the beer show while my husband brought the children to a sheep show sure it’d be rude not to. I also had to sit in the sun & enjoy a beer while I waited for their show to end, it was tough but I managed it!
We had lunch in The Barn Cafe, my husband & I shared a tasty chicken roll and a big bowl of chips while the children tucked into healthy kids lunch boxes costing £36/€42.54 for the 7 of us. Cillian was unsure of the twister ride; it’s a flying chair ride so I told him he didn’t have to go on it if he didn’t want to. Zach the ride operator heard this & came over to talk to Cillian and reassured him that he wouldn’t go fast or high if he didn’t want to.
Our visit was complimentary. Avail of a 20% discount on door prices by buying tickets online priced at £11.16/€13.22 for adults & children over 3ft in height, for children under 3ft tickets are £4.80/€5.69. For further information visit HERE.
