Here at Emotion Picture towers I get to shoot a wide variety of things in a week from itty bitty baby to big grand weddings, I also cover a fair bit of commercial work.
This shoot was no exception I grabbed my notes and my camera gear and headed off to a hotel. Nothing new there, until I pulled up at the Dare Valley Country Park Hotel.
The hotel is set in 500 acres of beautiful woodlands, pasture, moorland and mountainside. With two beautiful lakes to add to the most draw dropping scenery I have seen in a long time. I was met by people out and about biking hiking and just enjoying the views. On top of that the most friendly welcome you could wish for. After the introductions were complete I was left to roam the buildings and capture away.
This was when I found what great care and attention to detail has been taken to make everyones stay as comfortable as possible. From the massive common room thats equipped with everything from comfy sofas, TVs, musical instruments and many interesting artefacts, there is also a massive reading area with a wealth of books of the local area.
On top of this the rooms have all had an extensive full refurbishment and are presented impeccably. All mod cons from TVs, USB charging ports by the beds and beautiful artwork hand picked by the owners. Stunning showers and bathroom utilities everything you would need after a long day exploring with the added bonus that every window you look out of has some of the best views around. When you combine this with the most friendly and welcoming team you really do feel part of something unique. So if you are traveling from afar or just on a local staycation this is an ideal stop to recharge and stay. Have a look at http://www.darevalley.com.
