With Spring just about upon us, we have taken the opportunity of the quieter early-year months to refurbish Room 9, one of our three deluxe rooms.<\/p>\n

Say it ourselves, we are pleased with the results! As we hope the pictures, below, demonstrate, we\u2019ve kept our hotel Art Deco \u2018theme\u2019, not least in our gold wallpaper. There\u2019s some rather cool lighting that, we think, sets it all off very well – and the bathroom is a pleasure!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the new look, we are offering guests a two-night stay in this new deluxe room for just \u00a3150 for any two weekday nights throughout March and April. And, of course, the price includes Helen\u2019s Gold Award Winning breakfast <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, BOOKING DIRECT with us will always ensure you the best price, so to book this room at this offer rate \u2013 or, indeed, any other room \u2013 do give us a call on 01803 294 755. As British Telecom said all those years ago in their advertising: \u201cit\u2019s good to talk\u201c. <\/p>\n

Talking of breakfasts, Helen now makes all her own yoghurts, and that means you can be sure they are free of any artificial sweeteners, which seem all too common in supermarket yoghurts nowadays. She\u2019s also started using chia seeds in a breakfast dessert – which seems to be very much \u2018the thing\u2019 with the health conscious! <\/p>\n

(Just in case you don\u2019t know, chia seeds are from a mint-like plant from Latin America. They are full of Omega 3 which they say is very good for you. You could always follow it with a full English if that\u2019s more in line with your idea of the holiday spirit!)<\/p>\n

\"Award-winning<\/p>\n

Rooms and Food Aside …<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s nice to see the tourist attractions are opening up again after the winter. The Dartmouth steam train is running four days a week to Kingswear and the Brixham ferry starts running on Good Friday. As I write, the Riviera Big Wheel in en route to its summer home in Torquay. The south coast is a pleasure all year, but it has to be said it comes in to its own in spring, summer and autumn. Do come and visit and make the most of it!<\/p>\n
