Strange but true…


We do get asked the strangest questions!

 

Being many miles from home some of our guests from time to time find themselves in need of something here that they might normally be able to put their hands on at home.  This mornings question I think is quite high on the list of comical ones and that was “Have you got a soldering iron?”  Well I know that we do try our best to overcome every possible eventuality, however a soldering iron is a little too specialist for us.  Anyway our multi-tasking maintenance man Ray is well and truly on the job, if anyone can fix the broken glasses then Ray can.

 

Another comical one is the evening that a sorbet was retuned to the kitchen because it was “too cold”, after microwaving it into a warm liquid the guest ate it up quite happily.  Never let it be said that our work here is boring…

Who said Romance is dead?


Happy Valentines Day!!!

 

Thankfully we here at the Fowey Hotel are proving that romance is far from dead.  We have accepted over a dozen bouquets over the weekend on behalf of many romantic people wishing to spoil their nearest and dearest.  It’s been a really beautiful day with blue sky and sunshine, and a lot of couples have been enjoying a nice lunch and then a stroll in and around the town.  The Restaurant is packed to capacity this evening and the chef has created a deliciously romantic menu for our valentine visitors.

 

I myself have enjoyed a perfect morning with my gorgeous boyfriend who has spoilt me rotten.  Breakfast in bed, well juice and a cup of tea – but that is all I have.  We then both opened our cards and I was given chocolates, a rose, a very cute cuddly toy and some beautiful bubble bath, what a lovely treat!  Surprisingly, I haven’t even eaten one of the chocolates yet; I may not be able to say that tomorrow morning though! 

 

I am a real romantic and I love to see older couples still enjoying each other’s company, holding hands and laughing.  Some of whom are staying here at the hotel this weekend - Ahhhh how sweet!

 

Well this evening we are going to enjoy a quiet night at home, it is my idea to have an indoor picnic with both of our favourite foods - It’s a bit of fun, I’ll let you know how it goes.  Happy Valentines Day Everyone!
