Eco Beach Meetings

Back in the Summer (already, that seems like a long time ago), we discovered a genuine gem of an alternative meeting space. 

A real "off piste" kind of environment to shake off the coporate mindset and help with some free thinking and action planning.

Set right on one of Dorset's most beautiful beaches within a National Trust managed environemnt, the Eco Lodge is great place to take your team and we can give it that profesional edge to ensure it is a truly conducive and productive part of your team meeting or conference here at the Highcliff.

The Highcliff Conference & Events team will set up the lodge with all of our own AV kit, serve coffee breaks and a great picnic or BBQ lunch for you and run the day in the Highcliff Style.

If the weather is great, the beach cafe is perfect to start the day with an al fresco breakfast.  If it is not so good, the wood burner in the lodge is a great place to muster around to get some team spirit flowing.

I take my bavarian hat off to the team for another cracking Oktoberfest event at the Highcliff last night.

Well done guys, for another truly authentic event and a rather late night :)

 

Exciting news for "our friends in the north!"

I am so pleased and very excited for the team at the Renaissance Manchester.  The hotel already boasts the best location for a lifestyle hotel in the entire city centre, with some of the most guest focused staff that I have had the pleasure to work with;  and now they will have a product to live up to both.   

Exciting times indeed!!!

Bournemouth Tourism Awards

We managed to get all three of our applications submitted on time for the 2012 Bournemouth Tourism Awards.   Our large hotel of the year submission in the form of the Highcliff Herald broadsheet looked great.

Equally creative were our submissions for the Taste Of Dorset and Customer Service Excellence.

Now, we wait for the mystery shoppers and hope for success at the gala dinner!
