Prior to opening The Summerhouse, June ran her business - "Laurie Hooch" - from Boscastle. She had traded there for some years and was open on the day of the flood in August 2004.

However, following those awful events her business was closed for some months, but with considerable time and effort she managed to reopen in early December that same year. It was a remarkable achievement in the light of everything that had happened, but she was determined to use the time to totally refurbish the shop.

Having done so much, an opportunity then arose to move a few miles down the road to Tintagel and into much larger premises.

June's success had meant that she had really outgrown Boscastle anyway - and the new shop was an opportunity to expand her range into new and exciting areas such as soft furnishings, clothing, clocks, bedding, furniture, children's items - and much more.


THE FUTURE

The move to Tintagel has been a great success.

Our first two years at the new shop have been tremendous and we are eagerly looking forward to the new 2008 season!

Our thanks to everyone who has sent their best wishes, called to see us and for the support from both within and outside the area. The extended range of stock has been well received by everyone and we shall continue to keep this updated with the latest designs, coupled with our own distinctive approach to bring you the very best in home accessories, soft furnishings and designer gifts
