This Too Shall Pass……And Then You Should Go To Soar Mill Cove
A Different View - Cove View Family Suite
Trick or Treat? The etiquette is fairly simple, the little ghouls knock and the homeowner hands over the sugary goods, it’s that simple. Yet on Saturday 31st October, when someone knocked on Number 10, Boris had seemingly forgotten the sweeteners.
A new national lockdown, for a whole four weeks. A truly scary halloween for many, especially for those working in the hospitality industry.
Yet whilst the doors of hotels, bars and restaurants may be currently closed, they will re-open and what better way to support the industry than treating yourself to a pre-Christmas break. And it should be somewhere really special….
The Greatest Luxury is…….
If the greatest luxury is being free….then Soar Mill Cove is the very definition. Situated in the rolling green hills of the South Hams and overlooking the sparkling blue yonder, this is a space to runaway from it all.
Across the UK countryside, you can’t swing a proverbial cat without hitting a luxury hotel, and for that I am eternally grateful. Yet when you are truly in search of a home from home with unrivalled views, extreme comfort and delicious food, Soar Mill Cove is the place to head.
Some people may feel that Soar Mill Cove has an absence of bells and whistles. For example the bathrooms are not of the Carrara marble variety and you won’t find a flat screen TV at the end of your bath.
No, Soar Mill Cove offers a more simplistic approach to luxury, which truly creates space and time for relaxation. Modern hotels have a tendency to cause sensory overload, boasting high tech everything and fast internet speed being at the core of their offering, but it detracts from the very reason you booked a break, the opportunity to disconnect.
What makes Soar Mill Cove Different?
Yes the location is first rate, situated behind a cove, with easy access to the South West coastal path and the ever popular town of Salcombe, but there’s so much more. Firstly, Soar Mill Cove has been a family affair (Makepeace Family) for 40 years and the team welcomes guests as an extension of that family, which is truly a rare thing in the UK hotel industry. This is a home from home experience, with the inclusion of your four legged friends.
Cream Goes On First….This is Devon!
Whilst glimmering chandeliers and abstract sculptures can be eye catching, they don’t nurture your soul and that’s what Soar Mill Cove does so well. The welcome, often by one of the Makepeace family themselves, includes a complimentary Devonshire Cream Tea. Warm homemade scones ,clotted cream and plentiful jam, instantly evocative of childhood memories and never ending summers. Throw in an hours rock pooling at the Cove and it all starts to feel a little bit Famous Five, idyllic and nostalgic.
Gravalax, Sourdough, Horse Radish.
Yet whilst this unique hotel has been welcoming guests for many years, it certainly moves with the times. The menu’s at the 2 Rosette Restaurant reflects modern appetites, sourcing local produce and a seafood offering you would expect to find from a hotel so close to the sea. Think fresh lobster served with a crisp sparkling wine.
Away from the restaurant , the Champagne and Truffle lifestyle continues, with the hotel boasting an extensive spa treatment menu including the aforementioned facial which incorporates Silk, Diamond, Gold, Black Truffle and….Champagne served in a flute, which is best enjoyed poolside.
