The staff at Piran Meadows managed to show this Teddy a good time before he was reunited with his much loved family!

 

Teddy was accidently left behind at one of the lodges at Piran Meadows Resort & Spa in Newquay; while waiting for his transport, Teddy managed to help out the reception staff by answering the phones and he even relaxed and enjoyed the facilities! He gave archery a go, had a soothing massage at Serenity Spa and even chilled out in the sauna, what a lucky Teddy!

After Teddy’s fabulous day, he was ready for his transport home with his new duck friend in tow, his little suitcase and even some special sweets for his owner!

We want to say a huge thank you to the amazing staff at Piran Meadows Resort & Spa for spoiling Teddy and treating him to a fun-filled day, and for reuniting him with his family with pictures of his wonderful printed out too!

What does your Teddy get up to when you’re away?


Happy Adventuring!
