The beautiful, relaxed and luxurious feel of the house alongside the stunning grounds make it the perfect location for people to come and spend a few days to reset and recharge. We can’t wait to launch and welcome guests, and for them to leave feeling fully relaxed and restored.” Anouskha Emson, creator & host of the retreats, comments: “When I first walked through the doors at Huntsham Court I instantly knew it was a perfect place for people to come and take time to focus on themselves, and in the case of our Mother & Baby retreats, focus on the new addition to their lives by bringing baby too.” To book, call 01398 361 277 or visit huntshamcourt.co.uk huntshamcourt KITLEY HOUSE HOTEL & RESTAURANT APPOINTS NEW WEDDING PLANNER Award-winning South Devon wedding venue Kitley House Hotel & Restaurant is delighted to announce the appointment of a new wedding planner. Nicole West has recently joined the team and is looking forward to working closely with couples to create their perfect day. Nicole has already set about creating new wedding packages to provide greater flexibility for couples to tailor their day. She says, “We're flexible here, not black and white like some venues. We try to work around each couple and my approach is for them to tell me how they want things and I will try my hardest to make it happen - that’s the way I like to work.” Nicole previously worked at Woodbury Park near Exeter and St. Mellion in Cornwall. She has posed as a bride before by visiting a number of South West wedding venues as a secret shopper. She comments, “I had only been to Kitley House Hotel & Restaurant once before, a few months before I got the job, and I thought it was amazing. It offers different places where couples can get married including The Island by the lake and the Summer House in the garden.” For larger weddings, couples can choose to have exclusivity of the 19-bedroom hotel. It caters for more intimate celebrations midweek when the hotel is quieter. For further information, visit kitleyhousehotel.com kitleyhousehotel 10
