WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED A SELF CATERING THHN HOLIDAY ARE WE PROVIDED WITH FOOD?

We always endeavour to supply our self catering holidays with complimentary food hampers from butchers, fish delicatessen, grocery and bakers. This is not always possible but if you contact us one week before your holiday we will be able to let you know who will be supplying you. We will always try to secure you at least one complimentary meal out in a local restaurant too.

Unfortunately not at the moment, if your holiday is self catering in Cornwall we will be able to get some food hampers but the network is still growing and the majority of our supporters are Devon based, but we are hoping over the coming years to be able to offer the same benefits.
