March Madness Moving towards Spring

Tuesday, 25 February 2014

Half term was quieter this year, most probably due to the disastrous weather conditions, but the late end of February surge in bookings leaving only The Byre and The Hayloft available.

March Madness

The days are beginning to give out, dawn at 6.30am and dusk 5.45pm . Sunshine and showers this week. With the better weather the children’s play area is now looking more inviting, the trampoline is now upright, the swing is now upright and the slide is now upright! Coming soon to the play area “April Cottage†to delight the children and a new wooden slide/swing climbing frame. The basketball hoop will complete the redesigned play area.

With Pancake day/Shrove Tuesday looming why not try a “mid week or weekend short break†in one of our lovely houses/apartments or lodges . 10% discount currently available for Jasmine Cottage sleeps 7, Plumtree Cottage sleeps 6, The Lodge sleeps 4 and pet friendly The Stable sleeps 4. (Discount for booking between 1st - 31st March 2014)

Don’t forget your Mum - With Mothering Sunday on the 30th March treat her to something nice. For guests booking over that weekend, we are offering a complimentary special Dorset Cream Tea hamper. 2 - 3 bedroom properties available - Plumtree Cottage, The Lodge, The Stable and The Granary.
