Advantages: Beautiful countryside views, peaceful and log cabins are fab! Disadvantages: Quiet setting - too quiet for some, on site facilities limited
have to re-heated again the next time you turned it on taking another 16 hours and using more electricity! The electricty is by a meter that is paid at the end of your stay, as previously mentioned. We thought we would run a massive bill with having the hot tub, but the bill at the end of the week was £45.00 total. This was for all the electricity in the cabin. We did not think this was bad split between us, as we were expecting it to be alot more! It was great for the kids to use during the day, but well worth it for the adults after they've gone to bed!
LOCATION
Hartland Forest is in DEVON not CORNWALL! If you leave the site onto the A39 and turn left Cornwalls border is 3 miles away!
I must say it is very secluded in the sense local shops and supermarkets are a good drive away. Bideford was about 20 mins away to access a town ...
Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote
Let the games Begin...
As a game which came free with the Wii console, 'Wii Sports' had little to prove - a title designed to show off the ingenious controls of the new machine, which at times meant that it felt like a bit of a glorified tech-demo. The sequel 'Wii Sports Resort' is tied in with the release of MotionPlus - the little white box that plugs into the bottom of the Wii controller, offering much more accuracy and finesse of controls - but does the game make the most of the new technology, or is it a missed opportunity?
Set on the tropical island of 'Wuhu', Sports Resort allows you to compete in twelve different sporting disciplines, each one designed to push your skill and co-ordination to the max. In this review, I'll take a look at each of the sports, whilst briefly explaining and summarising my feelings towards them ...
Advantages: Something different that would suit handmade soap fans, can buy it online Disadvantages: Might not be perfumed enough for some
I received this lavender soap from the Shetland Soap Company as a present last week when my parents got back from a motorbiking holiday. (As they do.) I'm really into handmade soaps (I've sampled products from four separate small-scale producers now) so I think that's why they chose it for me - plus I'm known for my fondness for anything lavender coloured or scented.
According to the wrapper, the Shetland Soap Company are based in Lerwick and make soap on a daily basis in their factory shop using a "cold process" method. They say they choose their raw ingredients to make a gentle, moisturising base before adding whichever ingredients they want for scenting purposes (in this instance, lavender essential oil) and allowing the soap to "cure" for three weeks.
