Aim: To help us ensure Soar Mill Cove survives during difficult times we are forward-selling a selection of exclusive experiences and rewards.
Hard to believe that it’s been over 40 years with three generations of the Makepeace family being custodians of this magical place we affectionately call ‘The Cove’. Discovered by my mum and dad and now, all these years later, looked after by the very capable talents of Jenny, my daughter Becky, the indispensable Matt and myself, of course!
Here we are, in 2020, facing our own share of the global crisis that has wrought its way across the world, to our haven in glorious South Devon. A place that we have always felt untouched, and an ‘escape’ from the hustle and stresses of the everyday. A place where so many have come to find their own joys, and make special memories to share with their families and pass on to future generations.
And, in this StayAtHome time we are firmly resolved to StayPut! To stay positive and keep The Cove exactly what it was when we found it and made it into the beautiful boutique hotel you know - magical, and everything that makes a Great British Holiday ‘great’.
So if, like us, you love the Cove too, that is what we need to hear. As we are calling on everyone who has ever stayed, to help us survive. And, not just for us but also for the extended family that is our team - a truly amazing bunch of dedicated people whose livelihoods are reliant on the hotel and work to make it the experience you enjoy.
To get through this tricky time we have set up this fund-raising campaign to forward-sell a selection of carefully curated, exclusive Soar Mill experiences, that will provide vital cash boost at a time when it is needed most, confident that with your support, the future of The Cove will be secured.
I hope that you find enough temptation within this enticing range of incentives, and look forward to welcoming you again after this is all over, and the doors open, once more, onto that view that can’t be forgotten.
