July 27th, 2010Sheep
July 8th, 2010We are just organising for some rare breed sheep to come and make their home at Broadgate Farm. They will live by the entrance to the cottages most of the time and will be a lovely sight not just for us and our guests but lots of locals who already regularly stop off to see Skylark in the front paddock
Sunset
July 8th, 2010We are having the most wonderful sunsets at the moment – I have been rushing out to capture them on camera and find it is quite busy out there on an evening with all our guests snapping away as well!!
5 Star!!!!
July 8th, 2010We have just been awarded 5 stars for the Granary by Visit Britain – we are delighted and hope that our future guests will enjoy staying in this lovely cottage.
All our other cottages achieved 4 star gold which is right at the top of the 4 star band.
You may be wondering why the Granary got 5 star and the other cottages 4 star gold – one of the key factors in judging a self catering unit is the space available. None of our cottages are small but the Granary has a really large and spacious living area.
Our new large cottages
May 30th, 2010The Barn House and the Granary are fully up and running, the Barn House sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms and the Granary 6 in 3 bedrooms.
They are lovely cottages and photos are now on the website. We still have some availability in the summer – but not much so if you are thinking of joining us at Broadgate Farm don’t delay!
Wedding Bells!!
May 30th, 2010We have had a lot of people staying attending weddings in the area but this weekend marked a first. The bride stayed here at Broadgate Farm and left for the wedding in a small fleet of wedding cars.
It was a lovely sight and we wish the happy couple well.
The Barn House
February 22nd, 2010The Barn House is coming along really well, the bathrooms and the kitchen were being put in today, we now also have a staircase! The bathroom tiling looks fantastic and it is great to see it all coming together.
Tomorrow I brief the curtain maker, we have some lovely silk from Laura Ashley to create some stunning window dressings. My house is fast filling up with furniture for the cottages, the front sitting room has completely disappeared and there is so much more still to arrive! We have persuaded Laura Ashley to deliver the bedroom furniture at the end of March instead of the end of February so hopefully it will go straight into the cottages.
Happy event!!
February 22nd, 2010At last Truffle has had her piglets! Shes a first time mum so a small litter of just four, two boys and 2 girls. The first two arrived at 10pm last night, one more at 3am and the last one at around 7am.
Mother and babies doing well – I will take some photos soon and post them on the website.
Bookings update
February 11th, 2010We have been incredibly busy with bookings recently, the phone calls and emails started flooding in from January 2nd. In less than 6 weeks we have booked out nearly a quarter of our avavailability for the year and we already have some dates where we are fully booked across all 4 cottages.
So if you are looking at joining us here at Broadgate Farm for a break don’t delay too long!
Cottage update
February 11th, 2010The two new cottages are coming on well – all going to plan. The plastering is almost complete and next week the plumbing first fix will take place. we hope to commission the heat source pump and fire up the underfloor heating soon. I am in buying frenzy, the list is coming down in size! I am searching for some dining tables and chairs at the moment!
