Our inaugural photo competition has been won by Sam and Faith. Open to all our guests in 2020, up to five photos taken during each stay at The Old Quarry were eligible for consideration. Once we’d drawn up a shortlist, it was over to the public to vote for their favourites on our Facebook site. Two of the snaps in particular proved to be very popular, with Sam and Faith just edging it in the end with their shot taken at Exmoor’s famous Tarr Steps. Sam and Faith will now receive a 25% discount on their stay this year – congratulations to them!
Whilst it wasn’t our choice to make, with the voting process public, we really liked Sam and Faith’s photo. The Tarr Steps are an undoubted feature of Exmoor and a place we’d definitely recommend for guests to visit. While, there’s no doubt that they’re stunning in their own right, we liked how they’re almost incidental in this photo, where the focus is on the sunlight filtering between the tranquil trees and stirring the turbulent, mirror-like waters below. In the foreground, the shape of the rock also gives the impression of some kind of prehistoric sea-monster poking its head above the surface.
Thanks to all our guests who took part – we’ve loved seeing your photos from your time at The Old Quarry – it looks as if many special memories were made. The 2021 competition is now open but, of course, you’ll have to come and stay in order to enter!
