eNatter - 14th May 2021

The Nare reopens again on Monday after the longest winter of closure since the second world war years. I have never known a period when we have worked so hard just to remain closed. Reopening cannot come soon enough…The Nare is raring to go with some very strong bookings in the chart right up until November.

This eNatter only touches on a few of the many improvements that have been achieved in the hotel during lockdown, and includes the rather unusual virtual opening of the new Whittington Suites.
Do read on to find out who opened the new suites and just how The Nare was able to host a drinks party during lockdown. There is also the link to watch the ceremony and video tour on the website.

I also pay a modest sailor’s tribute to the late Duke of Edinburgh. A little anecdote of a close brush with the Admiral at Cowes week is offered as a fond farewell and recognition of his sportsmanship on and off the water. 

It is not the first time I have said in the last year “I am very much looking forward to throwing open the front doors again. After all, an hotel proprietor without guests is like a scone without Cornish cream - pitiful and unbearable”; and again I say, “I simply cannot wait to welcome you back to The Nare.”

With very best wishes,

Toby Ashworth, Proprietor
