A day that started with such promise this morning - the dining room blinds had to be brought down to stop guests being dazzled while they devoured their Full English - has ended up grey and drizzly. Typical. It must be a bank holiday weekend... However, after we waved off a family of three who have been coming to Glenlee every summer for the past 23 years - yes, 23! - a steady stream of new arrivals began checking in.
"If you could suggest one thing we do while we're here, what would it be?" asked one man as he completed his registration form. Pause for thought. There is so much to do and see around the area that naming one thing is a challenge. "Visit Durlston Castle," I offered. It's a lovely walk, there are plenty of benches along the way, there are loos, a cafe, an exhibition, video presentation and a fossil display when you arrive, plus you can get the No. 5 bus back to Swanage Station if you don't fancy the return walk.
