Welcome to the Autumn edition of the Helsbury Park Enews, check out the latest stories... Awards for Helsbury... Our outstanding offer is being recognised in many quarters We've just learnt that we've made it into the top 3 in the category Self-Catering Establishment of the Year at the 2008 Cornwall Tourism Awards. Gold, Silver and Bronze placements will be revealed on the night of the 16th October at the Grand Awards Dinner being held at the Headland Hotel, Newquay. We've also been awarded 5 stars for the fifth year in a row along with the award of Pets Welcome status by Quality in Tourism. We scored highly in some key areas including cleanliness, facilities and also our gardens and public areas. We're in the process of going for a Green Tourism award and we're well on the way with that.   Book Early for 2009... We booked quicker than ever last year so get in early to avoid disappointment We saw unprecedented levels of enquiries and bookings last year with most of the key weeks being booked well in advance. We've been running our 2009 price list since Easter this year due to demand and we already have over 25 bookings! If you're looking to come and stay with us next year you really do need to let us know as soon as possible and get your booking form and deposit in the post. Otherwise how will you explain it to your four-legged friend, another year without Helsbury - it just wouldn't be fair!   Investment Continues at Helsbury... Continuous improvemant and a move to sustainable tourism drive investment Since moving to Cornwall last October we've instigated a sustained period of investment into the Helsbury site. As well as new outdoor facilities which many of you will have seen already like the bikes, the kennels, the barbecues and recycling areas we've also upgraded the facilities in the cottages too. With new bathrooms, new appliances and four poster beds throughout the barns we've been extremely busy. We're planning to put solar water heating in later in the year too. The updates are all featured on the blog so well worth keeping an eye on it.   Helsbury’s Grand Design... A tremendously exciting project and we hope it will be a facility enjoyed by all our guests Last year we gained planning permission for a swimming pool and spa complex to be built on site. The design is extremely innovative and follows all the principles of sustainable architecture. As well as a 15m pool there is a gym, lounge area and a sauna. The outside deck will provide a great place to relax and take in the view. The building work is starting now and will run for approximately 6 months, we hope to open the facility in May. The impact of the build will only affect the farmhouse so we're open for business as usual during this time.   Dog Photo Competition Goes from Strength to Strength... We've already had some cracking entries which are featured on our blog Now in it's third year our annual photo competition is becoming an institution that's enjoyed by everyone who visits us. Everyone loves the photos of the dogs on the website and we've seen a few budding Lord Lichfields getting their dogs to pose on the lawn the day before they go home. We've had nine cracking entries already, they're all featured on our blog, including this one of Willow enjoying the mud! If you haven't sent your entry yet please do so as soon as you can. The prize this year is a weeks stay but also a photo shoot with Richard Clapp of Slobberchops, a professional dog photographer based here in the south west.   Thanks for reading...
