Sawday's 20th Anniversay Awards - Alistair's Choice: Fingals
Fingals, Dittisham has long been known and cherished amongst South Devon residents and it has now just won the much sought after Sawday's Award for 'Special Place of the Year 2014.'
Full of personality, dine with fellow guests in a panelled dining room, and then stay up chatting in the bar. Welcome back to an institution from our first B&B book. Stay in a best hotel room, or self-cater in rooms nattily converted into apartments. The old laissez-faire atmosphere remains: honesty bar, wood-panelled dining room (dinner on occasion), grass court, pool and gym. Not your run-of -the-mill B&B… but nor are Richard and Sheila.
“Richard and Sheila have never bowed an inch to pressure from the outside world. They plough a field of furrows their own way, and the results have been, in our view, a triumph. If ever there was a generous welcome, an unstinting devotion to having fun, to being kind and to including every guest in the party - then it was here. It is not for the pompous or the unbending, but it works brilliantly if you are open-minded and easy-going.”
