Exeter Away: 22nd April

Mrs F. quite fancies a long weekend away in April. She's always wanted to go to the Eden Project, so we're tentatively thinking, drive down on Friday, hotel in Exeter Friday & Saturday, move a bit closer to Eden Project on the Sunday & Monday nights, then drive back up on Tuesday. But before we decide, we've some important questions that need answering.

Are any of you fellow reds planning a weekender?
Do any of you seasoned travellers have a recommendation for accommodation down there?
To avoid awkward social faux pas, do you put cream or jam on the scone first?

Ta.

Although I live down here I cannot help with the question of accommodation as we do not stay at any but I can help with the last one. In Devon it's cream first then jam and in Cornwall it's the other way around.
Cornish always have to be different.........and they sure are :lol:

Quite a few going to Exmouth with T Travel. Its Easter holidays so if you are looking for a bargain theres not much about.
We normally do jam, but are quite easily pursuaded otherwise

Well, when you consider it's the fastest cake in the world, it's pretty obvious! ;)
