Where do the years go to....another one over and it still seems like only yesterday we moved down to beautiful Dorset!! 2008 will actually mark our ninth year at the Hensleigh so we'd better get busy thinking about a 10 year celebration for 2009 !! As everyone who has stayed with us this year will know, we have moved back into the hotel to live, taking over a few of the previous bedrooms so the Hensleigh now has just seven guest rooms - remember to book early to secure your favourite room!! We've uncovered the old archway between the bar and what was the dining room to make the bar bigger and lighter, a much cosier place to enjoy that pre-dinner drink or cup of coffee!! Charmouth cliffs continue falling to the delight of fossil hunters - the beginning of November saw a huge slip on the east beach - it managed to go under and force the beach up 6 foot on top of it - a spectacular sight!!! Luckily the coast path is still open and holding its own!! We continue striving to include more and more local fresh food in our menus, our succulent Lyme Bay Plaice though seems to take a lot of beating according to a lot of you!! We've also introduced Freshly ground fair-trade coffee and fair trade tea during 2007. Dorset Cream teas continue to be very popular with lashings of clotted cream and locally made strawberry jam!! Our jams, biscuits and muesli are proving favourite gifts to take home, we've now started gift warpping packs and hampers of local goodies - great as gifts!! Gift Vouchers are always available if you'd like to give a friend or relative a well earned break! We'd love to see you again in 2008 - there's lots of great special breaks... With Best Wishes for a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2008 ! from John, Caroline, Gemma, Maria, Marceta and All the Team at the Hensleigh !
