Whether you are celebrating your mum, nan, an aunt or just a woman that has a huge impact on your life, make sure to let them know how special they are this Mother’s Day with a trip to East Devon.
Home to the Jurassic Coast and a host of beautiful places to explore, East Devon is one of the best places to spend your Sunday, let alone a special one like the 30th March.
Here are some suggestions to help you plan the best day for the mother figure in your life.
Treat them to a spa day
East Devon is a great place for some rest and relaxation, with places like Seaton and Honiton with their gentle and tranquil atmosphere and places like Sidmouth with its beautiful views – it’s the perfect place for having a rest and feeling revitalised. To help that feeling along, why not book a session at one of the region’s spas? With a host of treatments, ranging from manicures to massages, there are plenty of ways to make your mother figure feel pampered.
The Victoria Hotel’s Source Spa is often hailed as being one of the best spa hotels in Devon and features heated swimming pools, sauna, steam room, gym, treatments rooms and more. Or perhaps spa treatments aren’t the way to relax – if that’s not your bag, why not book a few rounds on the Victoria’s 18 hole putting green or a day at Sidmouth Golf Club?
Experience fine dining
East Devon is well known for its natural larder and there are fewer places better to enjoy a meal than here – fantastic views with seasonal menus created with locally sourced ingredients. There are a range of restaurants across East Devon that cater to different tastes – including fine dining and more informal options.
Just make sure to book in plenty of time – Sundays are typically quite busy without it being a special occasion.
Give the gift of Sidmouth
If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, you’ll find plenty on Sidmouth’s high street. With a local independent department store, Fields of Sidmouth offering a range of gifts and places like Annies offering leather goods, you’ll find the perfect gift here.
Many of the region’s hotels and restaurants also offer gift vouchers, so you can give your loved one a stay at their convenience.
Need more suggestions? Or perhaps you can’t travel? You can give the gift of Sidmouth by picking up some items from our East Devon Shop.
Grab a cream tea
One of Devon’s best exports is arguably the traditional Devonshire Cream Tea and Sidmouth, with its picturesque views and Regency buildings is an excellent place to while away the hours with a cream tea. You’ll find that cafes and hotels alike offer some amazing cream tea menus, with everything from the traditional to something more indulgent, like champagne instead of tea and options for gluten and dairy free treats.
Just remember that it can get busy around Mother’s Day, so be sure to book any sessions or tables in good time and to prepare for any postage issues so you can all enjoy a seamless and memorable Mother’s Day in Sidmouth and East Devon.
