In the Recent Press

“Inject a bit of glamour into your seaside shindig at this Gatsby-esque hotel - an Art Deco gem set on its own tidal island. In its 30’s heyday Burgh Island attracted everyone from Agatha Christie to Edward Windsor and Wallis Simpson. The whole hotel and its 25 rooms are yours for the weekend and with an in house florist, as well as unbeatable knowledge of the best jazz bands and fireworks specialists, the rest of your planning is a breeze. In fact you will have plenty of time left over for another important task creating bespoke cocktail with the hotels expert bartenders.”
Brides magazine March 2013 “The Island - just off the coast and reached by Land Rover at low tide (sea tractor high tide) – is a sleep Art Deco dream that constantly updated to keep rooms looking fresh. Each room is different and charmingly atmospheric in its own way, with original 1920’s and 1930’s furniture combined with with brightly painted walls.  There are no bedroom televisions to distract guests’ ardour.”
SUNDAY TIMES, BRITAIN’S SEXIEST ROOMS, JANUARY 2013
“This Art Deco island hotel is the ultimate in quirky British vintage glamour. Dinner is strictly black tie, and there’s a packed calendar of stylish social events – think jazz and cocktails.”
