The luxurious family-owned country house by the sea, The Nare Hotel is the first of several "Pride of Britain" members hotels to provide its guests the exclusive opportunity to hire an iconic Morgan 4/4.
Morgan Motor Company is the oldest privately-owned automaker in the world and has joined forces with the well-respected Pride of Britain Hotels - the group holds a long-standing reputation for recognizing hotels serving the finest hospitality. The newfound partnership allows members of Pride of Britain Hotels to extend the hire of a Morgan 4/4 to guests.
Situated on the Roseland Peninsula, this south coast stretch of Cornwall is a quiet Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Now guests are invited to enhance their stay by opting to cruise along quaint country roads in the stylish 4/4. Lunch for two can be enjoyed at the most scenic spot on the journey courtesy of the car’s traditional rear-mounted picnic hamper.
Having been produced since 1936, the Morgan 4/4 is the longest running production vehicle in the world and during that time has become a quintessential classic. A combination of superformed and hand-formed aluminum body panels make this model the lightest machine in the Morgan classic collection and the 4/4 is the perfectly nimble and agile drivers’ car to glide through the winding lanes of Cornwall that are carved out by beautifully wild verges.
The Nare is the first official hotel in the UK to open up this limited offer to guests while there are a number of subsequent hotels from which guests will soon also be able to enjoy the delights of a Morgan as part of their stay. This opportunity is available to Pride of Britain’s entire assembly of independent hotels.
Member hotels within the Pride of Britain collection are selected as the nation’s leading luxury boutique hotels found in the most picturesque locations. Never more than 50 hotels in their gathering, each hotel is independently owned, has its own distinct style and character, and delivers the utmost hospitality. These qualities are reflected in the precise craftsmanship and devoted passion that goes into hand-building each and every Morgan vehicle.
Steve Morris, MD of Morgan Motor Company, said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer a unique partnership with Pride of Britain Hotel group. Guests staying at selected Pride of Britain Hotels around the UK will now be able to enhance their stay with the hire of a Morgan sports car. Driving a Morgan is an exhilarating and memorable experience, and one that we are certain will complement any stay at a luxury hotel. We’re thrilled that The Nare Hotel in Cornwall is the first hotel to offer a Morgan hire car, I can’t imagine a more idyllic experience than a stunning Cornish hotel and a traditional British sports car during summer.”
Guest hire of The Nare’s Morgan 4/4 is priced at £250 ($327) per day.
