Crikey I can hardly believe it is nearly August. I can hardly believe Charlie is 5 in a little over five weeks! We continue to experience fantastic weather and are very busy. I have just updated our specials page with our late availability. Please remember I like to control our shorter breaks so if you require accommodation for under 4 nights please contact me directly as this may not be available by booking online. For those of you that followed the development on The Downs saga, you will be pleased to know that the application for Village Green status is progressing so hopefully - once approved - will put an end to any future threat to distroy the natural beauty of The Downs. On the flip side of this we have lodged our planning application to re-instate the balustrade balconies on our 2nd floor. It should be interesting to see how this is received by the council following our exchange of views with them over the proposed development of The Downs! Still fingers crossed - you never know.... we will keep you informed. For those who wish to track our progress you can following our application by going to http://www.torbay.gov.uk/newpublicaccess and entering our planning application reference: P/2010/0673 - Word has it this is being looked upon favourably so we hope to have a decision in days. Fingers crossed it is a positive one. Our team still consists of (super) Jude, Emily, Lisa, Carla and Ben who are all still with us, and we welcome our our latest recruit - Becky. All school and Uni goers have now finished their respective courses, but the only one who has so far received her result is Lisa, who we are pleased to say passed with a distinction and will be progressing to the next stage of her performing arts course in September! Charlie and Emily are very well. Charlie starts 'big school' in September, and Emily continues to boss him around - can't think where she gets that from !! We look forward to welcoming you soon. |
