The Old Vicarage

we stayed Friday night at the Old Vicarage in Morwenstow. we found this place through the Sawdays guide and it truly was something special. SO worth the extra money (£100) but Michael has his own room. it is a Victorian gothic building that RJ Hawker built as his vicarage when he moved to Morwentow. He was a bit of an eccentric and a poet and very very dedicated to his parish in Morwenstow. the photos on the B&B's website just don't do the place justice...it is just so magnificent. It looks out over the hills to the sea and in just down from the church. Michael was a little scared when we went up and walked around the church at there were heaps of ravens around and they are pretty noisy and mysterious. As I said we each had our own rooms. ours looked out into the garden and what I think was the stables. Both were huge and we had the most magnificent bathroom with shower and slip bath. Michael's had a see view and was a sooooooo pretty...I know he didn't appreciate it. We had dinner at the 14th century Bush Inn which is a short walk nearby and very very nice. Luckily we had brought torches 'cause it was pitch black on the walk basic....fantastic! This is a must visit just for the experience and we only wish the weather had been better so we could sew the views better.
