THE HORN OF PLENTY ANNOUNCES REFURBISHMENT

The most sumptuous beds, the best technology and beautiful décor are just part of a major guestroom refurbishment programme at The Horn of Plenty Country House Hotel at Gulworthy near Tavistock in Devon.

The Horn of Plenty is already world renowned for its quality food, having retained a Michelin Star for the past nine years as well as numerous other awards and accolades. The Hotel's management want the guest rooms to be among the most desirable in the southwest of England and decided to update the garden house bedrooms with a sophisticated new look which will elevate further the hotel's position as one of the region's most luxurious country house hotels.

Individually designed, each room will have its own unique character and ambience. Andie Roston, joint proprietor with husband Paul and Master Chef Peter Gorton, has already designed the other rooms in the hotel and is updating the garden house bedrooms whilst maintaining their instant country house warmth and personality using subtle colours.

As well as soft furnishings using top quality designer fabrics, the rooms will have the best quality Vi-Spring beds - a company that guarantees the most restful, refreshing sleep. Each room will also have large integrated LCD televisions, DVD players.

The bathrooms will be fully equipped with modern bathroom suites, large walk in power showers and some will have wet rooms.

Newly designed and produced French windows will maximise the out door experience of the magnificent walled gardens and the beautiful, uninterrupted views of the Tamar Valley beyond - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Paul Roston said: "We're not setting out to be groundbreaking in the design of our rooms and our style will remain to be traditional country house hotel but keeping up with the expectations of how that tradition has moved forward on the design front. We've added a few touches of our own personalities which will give guests that personal and individual feel. It is about comfort, luxury and functionality and we think by adding a little modern technology we can create a contemporary feel without going over the top and becoming too trendy."

The refurbishment of the rooms is the first phase in a series of exciting plans for the hotel to be announced later this year.
