Michael House Vegan Guest House

I am delighted to announce, that, as from the beginning of November 2013, Michael House will be a vegan guest house.  As we have not offered any dairy products this year, and all our evening meals are vegan, it only means stopping serving eggs for breakfast, but the shift feels far more fundamental than that.  A final move to align our hearts with our actions.

Hartland Quay

Today we spent some time exploring Hartland Quay. So thrilled that there are still such amazing places within an hour of here that we can yet discover!

We had planned to visit Clovelly with a friend, but the weather was horrible, so we thought a sheltered garden, owned by the same family as owns Clovelly village, would be more fun. The garden is amazing, and has beautiful cliff top walks as well, and the sun soon came out.
