Its been a very wet 2024 so far in most places although some seriously great days at Bigbury. We were told about the microclimate back when we bought the Apartment but thought that it was 'spin'.
The club gets better and better. Matts menus have been excellent. We now have Meri helping Brian out.
Car parking is getting to be a problem for non-BIC visitors to Bigbury, the public car park has a new owner and charging scheme. We are planning on installing CCTV to police our car park.
The Crab Shed on Creek Car Park, Salcombe is up to its usual standard and to be joined by Rockfish on the corner - but it seems to be going very slowly!. The Plymouth Rockfish gave me the best queen scallops that I've ever had - seriously sweet and delicious. So here's hoping!
For 2024 we have had the Apartments fire detection & alarm system enhanced per requirements of the recent legislation, with an emergency plan on the door (and on the website).
The sauna has been completely rebuilt, the wooden seating didn't like being allowed to dry out through COVID with nobody using the sauna. Then we had to find someone on Devon time to refit it.
Some guests have found the balcony door stiff to open. Sand gets blown into the tracks and we strip it to clean it, this can cause an issue - but the penalty of being about 30 ft from the beach! Aspect Windows attended and stripped the whole door, replaced the lock mechanism and it is now working as it did when originally fitted. Its moveable with one finger. It doesn't need to be locked but there is a thumb lock if you want to.
In September we installed a new heating system, French Neomitis oil filled radiators, all automatic.
Then in November we got new mattresses for the twin room, these are really very comfortable and compare well with the double bed installed last year.
Finally, someone walked into the glass doors so we have put a tasteful transfer on the glass - low down so it doesn't spoil the view.
