New Beginnings at Old Grimsby
With a handsome mix of the familiar and the new, this April saw the opening of The Sea Garden Cottages at the Island Hotel. Offering a new flexibility for hotel guests and further opportunities for timeshare, the Sea Garden Cottages have proved very popular from the outset. The picture above illustrates how the new development has progressed so far. To the far right are the teracottatiled roofs of the five hotel cottages, which can be booked for a single night or by the week. Each one has a bedroom with balcony and bathroom upstairs and a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor, allowing guests to choose whether they dine out or in. In the centre of the picture, the long building with the slate roof is the hotel’s old Flower Wing, which has been transformed
into four timeshare properties. Of these four, Pebble is the smallest, sleeping 2-4 people, while the other three, Seagrass, Flotsam and Driftwood sleep 6-8. To the left, the other slate roofs belong to three other timeshare properties, Rockpool and Coral, which sleep 6-8, and Pearl which sleeps 4-6. Just above the beach is The Ruin Cafe, which will open next year, and on the other side of the slip is the Sailing School. From 1st May 2012, The Ruin will be open from breakfast through to dinner and at the With hand-woven fabrics, original artwork and handpainted tiles, the furnishings and interiors of the Sea Garden Cottages are both welcoming and stylish. The cottages are ecosensitive too, with underfloor heating provided by airsource heat pumps, a high degree of insulation and wood-burners, while recycled Iroco timber was used in the cottages framework.
heart of its menu will be dishes prepared in its wood-fired oven. Next year, the redevelopment of the Island Hotel continues.
