Thank you for entering the competition to stay at The Old Coastguard via Country and Town House magazine. I’m sorry that you didn’t emerge the winner. A minor compensation is that you receive this invitation to Lunch for a Fiver, our only eating offer of the year, open to the Friends of EDS and those who have eaten with us recently. It kicks off on 12 January and runs until 26 January. More on the offer itself and how to take advantage of it below.
Our guiding principle for our life and work in 2019 is to try to control only those things we are able to and not be too exercised by those we cannot, however daunting the implications. It isn't worth the angst and palpitations. In that vein of making good choices, the Winter Escape remains in place until late March for those who feel like a night away. The full detail is below.
Finally, your competition entry resulted in you being registered as a Friend of EDS. This means you receive occasional emails such as this with news and offers from across our three little inns. If you’d prefer not to receive anything, please do feel able to unsubscribe here.
We wish you all a Happy New Year.

Years ago, the FT ran a lip-smacking scheme under which a second guest could lunch for £5. They stopped it after a year but we didn't and we bring it back yet again from Saturday 12 January until Saturday 26 January across EDS.
Mention "Lunch for a Fiver" when booking and bring along a copy of this email. One voucher may be used for each two guests: the second diner will be charged £5 for their food. Please click below to book a table. And use the voucher as often as you like.

WINTER ESCAPE & SUNDAY SLEEPOVER
|
|
We remind you that the Winter Escape continues until Thursday 28 March outside of Fridays and Saturdays and half term week. It could not be simpler: a good supper (no restrictions or supplements), a comfortable bed and the best of breakfasts.
All this from just £160 a couple in Cornwall and £170 in Wales. Or, join us for Sunday lunch as well as dinner to make our famous Sunday Sleepover. Enquire below about availability which can become particularly scarce at The Griffin and The Gurnard's.

We're humbled by the support our guests give us by buying our gift vouchers every year. And it's because of this continued support that we've been able to commit to donating 5% of our December gift voucher sales to local charitable organisations.
Subject to a final count, it look as if this year you've helped us to raise not far off £1,500 to share between the likes of St. Michael's Hospice in the Welsh Borders, MIND and Penzance Breadline Centre in Cornwall.
Something our teams are really proud of and which can make a difference to the work of organisations which inevitably find funding challenging in these straitened times.
