Thirsty pause…

Today’s topic is favorite beverages…

This is a topic that we take seriously here at Hosking House.

I think when you are traveling, there are many occasions in the day where you just want to take pause over your favorite beverage.

  • Cold water after an early morning run
  • Hot coffee to compliment the local morning paper
  • Cup of tea after a brisk day of sight seeing
  • Crisp wine after a long day of work meetings, or prior to a dinner reservation
  • Wee glass of port or red wine at the end of the day…whilst making plans for what else you want to see, or reflecting on your trip so far…

When you are traveling, the day is a constant series of movement and these pauses allow you to catch your own thoughts, connect with your fellow travelers, experience a bit of the ‘place’ you are in with a local wine, beer or coffee and ultimately to just put your feet up and relax a bit.  Away from your normal surroundings and life, you tend to opt for another pour of coffee, a smidge more wine – after all you are on holiday, or on a work trip away from home.

To ensure our guests get to enjoy their favorite tipple we offer complimentary still and sparkling water, have sourced lots of various teas, local Ozone coffee for those that like plunger, and Nespresso for those that like espresso…

Our goal has been to create a place that we’d like to stay in, and come ‘home’ to.  This is just one of our little ways…
