The latest development in our long quest to finish upgrading and restoring this lovely 300 year old building to its former glory, has
been our single room with new en-suite shower room and professional refurbishment.
In the Garden
(in the appropriate season)
The raspberries, blackcurrants ,strawberries gooseberries and rhubarb
continue to do well. All are used in our desserts and on the breakfast buffet.
The humble array of sticks we planted some 8 years ago now comprise a small `orchard` producing apples, pears and plums.
From the Kitchen Garden
(in the appropriate season)
The produce enables us to make our own soups and provide, most usually,
a choice of 4 vegetables at the table in addition to potatoes.
Our most successful crops remain the staples - beans (runner/ broad/ French), mange tout, onions, leeks and
varieties of lettuce, corgettes and potatoes.
We continue to experiment with other vegetables, notably sweet corn, cabbage, spinach and cherry tomatoes.
More news soon .......
