Take a short break in Devon

When was the last time you had a holiday? Don’t you just hate the feeling knowing that you do not have enough funds or time for a full fledged holiday, yet are sitting at work dreaming of strolling along the beach, sipping a cocktail in a bar or mountain biking through the countryside.
