2021 has been an interesting year in lots of ways.
We decided to renovate the bathroom. We had surprises when the floor and walls came down including an old bottle and really old newspapers. Well all done and feedback is that it is much improved, especially once I got the persistent leak on the shower screen sorted.
Bookings have continued on-going and many people returned time and time again to enjoy the local walking and other activities.
Mountains in the area have been well used with the summit hit by many. Cycling events and days by the lake have also been enjoyed.
The Royal Yew is the place to go when everything opened up. A new chef and menu means it’s better than ever. It is also well used (www.royalyew.co.uk – 01946 861342)
Interestingly at Bassenthwaite they have installed at the station the set of Death on the Midnight Express. It’s opened as a Café and is great for breakfasts, afternoon tea or special nights. You need to book but worth a trip sitting on a train for bacon and eggs or vegetarian options. (www.bassenthwaitelakestation.com – 017687 76599)
In 2022 we intend to continue to improve facilities. The garden area will be made more comfortable for those long sunny days after long walks.
We wish you a Happy 2022. Hopefully The Lakes will always call you back and you will consider using the cottage as a home from home once again.
