Refurbished Boutique Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast

I have just spent a fortune on refurbishing my two B&B rooms: Hexworthy and Dartmeet.

I took the plunge when I made the decision to take the house off the market, and now they are going to have to take me out in a box!

There have been a lot changes over the two years since I first put Wydemeet up for sale. The pub at the end of the road, The Forest Inn, has been bought and re-opened by friends, serving the best food on Dartmoor at mad prices! It's like an extended sitting room for us!  It has re-vitalised the community of Hexworthy, and now my two teenage children have also decided they want to stay in the house where they were born.

So I enlisted the help of two interior designers from Ashburton, who said, "De-clutter, de-clutter and de-clutter" and we have used the most expensive paint imaginable from Little Greene, in shades of 'Leather' and 'Stock', and re-decorated.

I have also bought a six foot mahogany bed complete with 3000 pocket sprung mattress for Hexworthy, and moved the top-of-the-range Vispring Herald Superking Zip-and-Link into Dartmeet, to replace the original very comfortable (but very old) twins.

The water colours have been replaced with oils, I've bought some beautiful chairs and a lovely Edwardian inlaid mahogany wardrobe for Hexworthy, and a Victorian one in satin wood for Dartmeet, and I've provided new luxury duvets, pillows, mattress toppers and bathrobes. Sooooo comfortable, I keep slipping into my B&B bedrooms myself, whenever I get the chance!

    Mary, Mower of the Moor

    Four hours before Mary's first guest was due to arrive - Alastair Sawday himself - she was still working out how to turn on the hoover, and contemplating the ordeal of mowing her garden herself for the first time.

    The original blog follows a family coming to terms with marital breakdown, and the resulting emergence of Wydemeet B&B, from conception and its first shaky steps.  It has now been turned into a book: "Surviving Solo", by Mary Nicholson, available through Amazon.

    But if it takes her mood, Mary continues to add to the blog from time to time.
