A day at the Zoo

Invited to a trade day for hoteliers yesterday at Paignton Zoo.  Great opportunity to have an tour so we can pass on information to our guests when visiting.  Paington Zoo is a fantastic day out for all the family and has certainly grown from its hubble opening in 1923.  Today it is home to thousands of animals living across 80 acres and is dedicated to education and conservation of our wildlife.  Anyone visiting our guest house can pick up discount vouchers for this attraction and also Living Coasts6 ,a small coastal zoo in Torquay housing seals, penguins and other various sea birds.
