We are thrilled to say that we received an invitation recently to attend an award ceremony in London with the Boutique Hotel Awards with the knowledge that we had been nominated in the Best Relaxation Retreat category.  As the ceremony progressed the winners for each area were announced and we learnt that we had won, 'Europe's Best Relaxation Retreat', however, at the end of the announcement for each of the different regions of the world, they announced the overall winner, to our delight Hotel Endsleigh won the whole category and Richard Dawson our Assistant General Manager went up to collect the award for, 'The World's Best Relaxation Retreat'.

Autumn Splendour

What comes to mind when you think of Autumn? The changing colours of the trees? the crisp morning air with bright blue skies? Roaring fires with roasting chestnuts? Conker battles and red cheeked be-hatted children?  The list goes on, and here at Endsleigh all these timeless Aumtumnal treasures are embraced.

The Dairy Dell valley
The Dairy Dell is a wonderful valley walk where during the summer months the valley floor is covered in Gunnera eight to ten fee tall, but in the Autumn, before the frosts destroy them, they are cut down opening up an entirely different view where you can take in the natural glory of the man made rocky stream that wends its way down to the Tamar.

The arboretums key features and a 'must see' are the enormous Weeping Beech, Fagus Sylvatica Pendula at 24 meters tall, the Indian Horse Chestnut, Aesculus Indica, and the Giant Sequoias, Sequoiadendron Giganteum, (51 meters), amongst many others.
