Make the most of your Summer Adventures

14 May 2019

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start lining up plans for your summer adventures. Whether whisking your loved one away for a romantic break or planning a weekend away with friends, we’ve paired our best cars with the best things to do to make the most of the sunshine.

FOR A ROMANTIC ESCAPE:

For a date that’s truly unforgettable, head to Sharpham’s for a guided tour of their vineyard along with a tasting of wine and cheese. Learn all about the process and experience the beauty of the River Dart in this stunning South Devon location.

The Scarlet Hotel in North Cornwall offers the ultimate luxury escape. This adult hotel not only boasts a cliff-top hot tub, but also sea-view rooms and a restaurant with unbeatable views across the Atlantic Ocean. Put the roof down with the touch of the button in our stylish SLC Roadster, and whisk your loved one away for a weekend of romance.

FOR A FUN FILLED FAMILY ADVENTURE:

The A-Class blends the style of  Mercedes-Benz with practicality and comfort to get your family to where they need to go, and currently comes with three years free servicing*! This summer visit Dartmoor Zoo, where your little monkeys can get to know the animals with a junior zoo keeper experience. Or the ecological wonder that is the Eden Project where families can learn more about the world around them. This May half-term Eden welcome children’s TV favourites Dick & Dom for a fun-filled week of mayhem. Read our tips for a peaceful family road trip to help maintain family bliss on your journey.

FOR COUNTRYSIDE CRUISERS:

While the compact cool of smart was designed as a solution for urban driving, this dynamic vehicle also makes the ideal partner for discovering our rural region. The idyllic Somerset town of Frome is perfect for a summer afternoon of exploring. The beautiful cobbled streets and winding roads are perfect for the smart fortwo cabrio’s responsive drive. The Frome Independent Market takes place on the first Sunday of each month, and is bursting with vibrant examples of the unexpected treats this town has to offer. Including vintage fashion, street entertainment, artists, designers and much more.

FOR THE THRILL SEEKERS:

If you like to live a life less ordinary, the South West couldn’t be more suited to you. Croyde, North Devon is famous for its low tide barrels and excellent surf conditions for boarders of all abilities. If you’re a pro with your own board the tenacious GLE SUV has plenty of space to get it to the beach. For those who haven’t quite mastered their kickflip, the Croyde Surf Academy will get you on the crest of the wave in no time. If you prefer to get your kicks on dry land, Hot Pursuit Cycles will rent you a bike for the day and point out the best routes for your ability. Discover the scenery of the South Hams on two wheels for a true Devonshire summer adventure, and don’t forget the obligatory stop off in a country pub!

FOR A GROUP OF YOU:

The best thing about the South West is that you don't need to travel far for a holiday! Retallack Resort in Cornwall has everything you could need for a group getaway with your favourite people. With a luxurious spa for relaxing, large rental properties with hot tubs and private pools, as well as an Aqua Sports Centre complete with assault course, you’ll never be bored at Retallack.
