Itโs with very heavy hearts that we share the loss of our beautiful donkey, Sebastian ๐
Sadly, this week we had to say goodbye to him after he had been struggling with a poorly liver for some time...
He wasnโt just part of the paddock at Glynn Barton - he was part of the family, and so many guests will remember his gentle nature and the joy he brought over the years.
His best friend, Sweep, is understandably heartbroken. Donkeys form incredibly close, unbreakable bonds as pairs, so Sweep will soon be heading back to The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth in the coming weeks (where we originally adopted them together), so they can help him find a new Donkey companion.
We know many of you will have lovely memories of Sebastian from your holidays here, so if you have any photos or favourite moments with him, please share them with us in the comments - and let's celebrate the wonderful life he had and how loved he was by so many.
Sleep peacefully, Sebastian - we hope there's plenty of carrots up there ๐ซ ๐ฅ
