MILLERS HOTEL AND RESTAURANT
PORLOCK WEIR ,SOMERSET

A BOOKISH CORNER
|
For an injection of opulence and bold determined colours that nod more to the richness of the Far East than the tedium of British taupe, cardigan beige and creams a stay at one of Millers Hotels is a must. No faux suede footstools, bundles of twigs garnished with LED lights or laminate flooring here. This is recycling at its best. An eclectic mix of auction finds, battered, cracked and faded but all skilfully positioned or perhaps just fortuitously and accidentally placed. Scattered around are bowls of sweets for visitors to graze upon. It's like wandering into the home of an eccentric yet indulgent Aunt with a young staff who are friendly, efficient and engaging. The paint finishes and electrical socketry are imperfect - extension leads abound but it's like being at home. Who wants perfection?
Architecture and decorative detail should evoke a response in us. Buildings and the enclosed space affect our moods and how we function on both an individual and a societal level.
