Proposal at The Old Rectory Hotel
A few weeks ago, we took a booking for a short break for the weekend from a chap called Gavin, who was calling from Hampshire. When he asked for flowers to be placed in the room before their arrival, we asked whether this was a special occasion to which he answered “I hope so!”
Gavin and his girlfriend, Gayle, arrived on Friday 21st for their romantic break at the hotel and following a great dinner that evening, sampling some of our wines, the couple set off for a walk on a sunny morning heading for the nearby glorious south west coast path.
When they arrived back for tea in the garden, Gayle was sporting a beautifull engagement ring which Gavin had designed himself and had commissioned to be made in New Zealand. Gavin had proposed on Woody Bay beach and, most importantly, Gayle accepted!
We have met many people who have been moved by the stunning local Exmoor scenery and have got engaged in the area but this is the first time, under our stewardship that a guest has proposed whilst staying here at the hotel.
Congratulations to Gavin and Gayle!
