I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted!! We have had a wonderful busy Easter weekend. Luckily the weather was kind to the guests. Despite the depressing economic climate bookings are coming in with new and returning guests which is always nice. We have had some of the rooms decorated. Some beautiful new soft furnishings to add that special finish. All rooms have Tea & Coffee making facilities along with a refreshment tray filled with goodies.

WHAT ON @ THE EDEN PROJECT?

Colour Explosion and Easter
April 4 - April 19
Potential Picassos, might-be Monets and wannabe Warhols are invited to paint to their art's content at the Eden Project this Easter. It's your chance to put mops, sponges, hands, plungers and brooms to paint and paper in a giant explosion of vibrant colour.

April 10 - June 30
Eminent artist Anthony Eyton exhibits 10 years of work at Eden
World-renowned artist Anthony Eyton has opened an exhibition of his work charting the construction and evolution of the Eden Project on April 10. The exhibition, entitled Evolution of a Cornish Clay Pit, features more than 30 works ranging from the russet and grey vista of the empty pit, through the cranes, workmen and gargantuan scaffolds of the Big Build period to scenes from Eden as we know it now.
Royal Academician Anthony has been painting Eden since he was introduced to Bodelva pit – the former china clay pit in which the project was built - by Eden’s Chief Executive Tim Smit in August 1996. Tim had been impressed with Anthony’s paintings of the construction of the Tate Modern in London and persuaded the artist to chart the building of Eden. Anthony has been the project’s Artist in Residence since 1999.

It's been a while since I last posted, it's been a busy season. Things have quieted down a little which gives us time to catch up with some little jobs over the winter months. I'm very excited over our next project: refurbishment of room 1. This room is our largest and has panoramic views over St Austell bay which is stunning and so it deserves a 5* refurbisment. Apart from a fresh new decor the ensuite is having a complete overhaul. New light fittings, soft furnishings but best of all a beautiful handmade bespoke bed. Beautiful barley twist carvings and inlays. I could go on and on gushing about the new room but I suggest you check back with us for the new photo's that will update our website in the coming months! I am quite confident all our guests will be asking for this room!

Apart from room 1's refurbishment there is a lot more going on at Edenview. I am having trouble sourcing new cups & saucers for the rooms. Plain white?? I want something far prettier for my guests. New table linens and as always sourcing the best local produce for our hearty breakfasts.

I'm so looking forward to the start of the new season and welcoming new and old guests to Edenview. But don't forget we are still open, you wouldn't know any refurbishment is going on as it's all behind closed doors.

The Eden Project is still open in the winter months with lots to see and they have also reopened their undercover outdoor ice rink again so why not book a short break for the family as there is something for everyone at the Eden Project his winter.
