Dear friends and past guests
We have so enjoyed meeting you all and having you to stay at Rose Cottage. It has been a real pleasure when you have expressed your enjoyment of the cottage and its surroundings and we thank you for your custom.
Now is the time to retire and so I regret we will not be taking any further bookings.
We wish you all our very best wishes and hope you will always have happy memories of your stay here.

Yet another stunning day today. It was -5C at 8am and the ground white and frosted. BUT the sun is out and the sky is blue. The countryside around here is sparkling! The sheep are not too impressed but some sheep nuts should sort that out. Loads of birds on the feeders and great walking weather

Its hog eat hog out there! ……..Hedgehog wars

Our hungry hedgehogs just can’t seem to come to an arrangement with each other. So John has rearranged the feeding station and now there will be plenty of room for all.

More goings on at the cottage……..hit link below

At last we have had a bit of rain and the river looks much better, flowing nicely. The kingfishers continue to flash up and down just above the water and the otter has visited too. The kites are also quite numerous in the valley. I see more kites than buzzards these days and there are... Read more ....

The sun continues to shine and there is an amazing amount of blossom. The hills and hedges are white with Hawthorn and this is the time to visit some of the many gardens here with rhododendrons, azaleas and the last bluebells still in shady woods. So a trip to Hergest Croft Garden was called for. A stroll through the wood listening to the gurgling stream followed by a tour of the garden and on then to the tea shop a wonderful afternoon particularly enjoyed by our four footed friend.
