All hail our hoteliers and restaurateurs in these inhospitable times
Anna Hart has been amazed by the ways our hosts make guests feel comfortable and welcome in this demi-lockdown
Despite restrictions brought about by Covid, Anna received the warmest of welcomes at Heckfield Place
Hospitality is an art form, and every nation has its own protocol for making strangers feel like friends. In some nations, it’s a welcome dance, which I secretly adore. After all, the whole point of travel is to be shaken out of one’s rigidity and state-mandated social conditioning, and nothing strips this armour away faster than being forced to dance in the dust at a safari lodge before we’ve had a G&T.
