The 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.

At 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.

We 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!

The 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!

The term new arrivals usually means new visitors to our holiday cottages but not this time. Truffle our Gloucester Old Spot is expecting and the piglets are due shortly.
We are all ready – the electricity supply to her house is in place – a lamp to keep them warm has been purchased we now just have to wait for the happy event.
I will post photos on the site just as soon as we have them – keep checking back!
