点评:My wife and I visited the Donkey Sanctuary last week and had the best time, as always!
We always stay in the nearby Exmouth in the summer and make a trip here, but had never been in winter before. We booked the day off and travelled from Somerset to have a Christmassy day out.
We had a fantastic talk in the morning, and then went for food at The Kitchen. The food is amazing and fresh and fairly priced!
Admission is free, and the area is huge. We always do a different route as there is so much open space, perfect for long peaceful walks! We visited the gift shop and the staff were lovely and you could tell their love for the Donkeys
And then the best bit, THE DONKEYS, they are so lovely and so well looked after. Not forced to be there for your entertainment, the full opposite, you are there to see them in their natural state and enjoy them just being them. A lot of them came up to the gate for some attention! It's so heartbreaking warming seeing how happy they are. The Sanctuary really do great work!
Will be back next summer as normal but after a successful December visit with weather on our side, we may need to make the visits more regular!

我们夏天总是住在附近的埃克斯茅斯,然后去那里玩,但之前从未在冬天去过。我们请了一天假,从萨默塞特郡开车过来,享受一个充满圣诞气息的假期。
上午我们听了一场精彩的讲座,然后去了The Kitchen餐厅吃饭。那里的食物新鲜美味,价格也很合理!
这里免费入场,而且面积很大。因为有很多开阔的空间,我们每次都会走不同的路线,非常适合悠闲地散步!我们去了礼品店,店员们都很热情友好,你能感受到他们对驴子的喜爱。
最棒的是,驴子们!它们太可爱了,而且得到了很好的照顾。它们不是被迫来取悦游客的,恰恰相反,你是来观察它们自然状态的,享受它们做自己的样子。很多驴子都走到门口来和我们互动!看到它们如此快乐,真是既让人感动又让人感到温暖。保护区的工作真的很棒!
明年夏天我们会照常回来,不过去年十二月我们去那里参观,天气也很好,所以我们可能需要更频繁地去那里看看!
