Cavendish Hotel

We’ve had a busy Easter weekend, and with the NUT conference in town at the Riviera Centre we’ve barely had a quiet moment in the hotel over the last few days. So imagine how delighted we were when one of our guests checked out this morning and presented us with a picture that he has spent the last few days sketching!

The view from 220, as seen by Mr Lloyd!

The view shows many of the hotels and other buildings in the Croft Road/Shedden Hill area (such as the Allerdale and Applebys/Heritage Hotel), and the trees are on Croft Meadow which the hotel backs on to. The small buidings here belong to Torquay Lawn Tennis Club. The church dominating the hillside is St Lukes, which is clearly visible from all over the Bay.

Our thanks go to Mr Lloyd for cheering up a drizzly Easter Bank Holiday Monday!

Its nearly the end of February and we have been busy again. We are concentrating on bedrooms as this seems to be the area which we need to constantly update. So far this year six rooms have been redecorated and refurbished and more will be tackled each week throughout the year. We are determined to improve the hotel as much as we possibly can, within the financial limits of these difficult times. For those of you who haven’t visited for a couple of years I am sure you will see a vast improvement in both public rooms and bedrooms.

Can I also thank all those repeat guests who keep coming to stay at the hotel. It is so lovely to see so many familiar faces each week.
