Burgh Island Hotel (2017)

FORMBY 1904-1961 Over a 40 year career, George Formby appeared in 21 hit films, made 230 records, hundreds of stage performances, two Royal Command Performances and entertained an estimated 3 million Allied servicemen and women during WWII. Burgh Island guests didn’t know what to make of the cheeky Northern chappie who proudly played on his northern accent and picnicked on Bigbury Beach.

MERMAID In May and October we entertain dolphins in the bay, so why not mermaids and mermen? You can check from the windows of this suite, overlooking the Mermaid Pool and, if you see one and can prove it, claim your free ‘Mermaid’s Kiss’.
