from Lesley and Mike
Here are the latest developments in our long quest to upgrade and restore this lovely 300 year old building to its
former glory.
The Rooms
We have finally completed the refurbishment off all 3 rooms on the 2nd (and top) floor, redecorating in a pretty cottage
style in keeping with our countryside surroundings. Walls have been moved to enlarge and reorganise the bathrooms
into modern new suites. It has taken us a long time to get up there but finally we`ve done it !!!
Why not come and stay in these rooms at a special `3 nights for 2` (excl. B.H.) before June `08.
Continuing to be very popular our executive suite has a high peaked ceiling with original oak beams, and is decorated
in faux medieval style with half-canopied bed. It overlooks the kitchen garden and Lambsquay Wood.
Ideal for Honeymooners and short break customers alike. The clover leaf shaped Jacuzzi may have something to do with this !!!
In the Bar
..
Three new pumps recently installed by the brewery enable us to offer a lager and a bitter on draft and a `guest beer`. Another special development for us is a Real Ale bearing our own specially designed label in our signature colours of cream and burgundy.
Why not take one home as a memento of your stay here with us ?
In the Garden
.
The humble array of sticks we planted some 7 years ago now comprise a small `orchard` producing apples, pears and plums
but we are still waiting for more than three cherries!
The raspberries, blackcurrants and strawberries and rhubarb continue to amaze.
In the Kitchen Garden
..
Our most successful crops remain the staples beans (runner/ broad/ French),
onions, leeks and varieties of lettuce,
corgettes and potatoes. We continue to experiment with sweetcorn, Swiss chard, spinach and cucumbers.
We didn`t escape this years storms completely, having to repair and restore fencing and trellis.
More news soon
