Horn of Plenty Easter Break 2026
We have been to the Horn of Plenty, a luxury country house hotel in the heart of Devon on many occasions, the last time being to celebrate New Year’s Eve in December 2025 to see in the new year of 2026.
We decided to go back again in April 2026 for a 2 night dinner bed and breakfast easter break, which included an archery lesson on the lawn. Please read on to see how we did.
New Year’s Eve 2025 Horn of Plenty Tavistock Devon
As we enjoyed New Year’s Eve 2024 at the Horn of Plenty (Tavistock, Devon) a 4 star Country House Hotel, we decided to book again for this year (2025). We did leave it a bit late so there were only a couple of rooms left (one being a best room in the main house (no 3) which we plumped for. Last year we only stayed the one night on New Year’s Eve, but this year they were offering an all inclusive 2 or 3 night stay. We opted for the 2 night stay for the 30th and the 31st December.[Read more…] about New Year’s Eve 2025 Horn of Plenty Tavistock Devon
Plantation House Hotel Ermington Devon 2025 20th May 2025
To celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary we decided to have an overnight stay and a nice meal at a hotel. About 3 miles away from where we live in Ivybridge in a little village called Ermington is a small hotel called Plantation House which although we have passed it on a number of occasions have never been inside. It has good reviews so we thought we would try it. [Read more…] about Plantation House Hotel Ermington Devon 2025
Talland Bay Hotel Cornwall Short Break 2025
25th March 2025. Steve (hubby) and I decided on the spur of the moment to have a couple of nights away in a nice hotel and not too far away from where we live. We came across the Talland Bay Hotel near Looe in Cornwall which looked very nice. They were also offering a package called the Boujee Foodie Spring Break which consisted of 2 nights luxurious accommodation, £60 per person dinner allowance each evening, Talland Bay No1 Gin & Tonic on arrival, delicious full Cornish breakfast each morning and tickets to the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Installing a new Kitchen Using Keith Holder Kitchens
We have lived in our current home for 31 years and have had the kitchen revamped a couple of times by just replacing the door fronts. However I have always dreamt of having a granite worktop so after some serious consideration we decided to go the whole hog and rip out whole of the kitchen and start again. Well the units were looking a bit tired and the carcasses were very worn in places and of course this would allow me to have my dream granite worktops.
