Fresh Fruit & Veg

For those guests who are having evening meals with us these days they are able to enjoy our home grown fruit and veg. New potatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, courgettes, chilli peppers and rhubarb are all used in the cooking just now.
Another couple of weeks should see the addition of apples, pears and plums to make the seasonal crumble even more delicious.

Nature on the Doorstep

For those of you who are visiting us soon please make a point of looking at the nest in the front porch with the five young baby birds. They are a delight. They are getting constantly fed so make sure and keep your head down as the parents make their approach flight!! This is the second year in a row that the same nest has been used so quite possibly the same parents.

The Garden View

The view from the bedroom windows is getting better every day as the garden bursts into colour. The lilac tree is looking great and the peony roses are just starting to bloom. The main roses have still a way to go yet but the new climbers on the patio trellis are taking off really well.
When you arrive why not check out the progress of my Kiwi plant which is growing up the wall of the Orchard Apartment. Last year in the greenhouse it grew 6 feet tall so I am looking for improvement outside this year.

Lazy Hot Summers are on their way

The BBC have predicted that we are all set for some lovely hot summer weather this year. So we at Folly Farm Cottage are looking forward to welcoming you and hope that you will be able to use the patio and barbecue area at the bottom of the garden.

The coals have been bought and all that is needed now is the food and you.

Come and visit soon and enjoy a peaceful relaxing pampering time.

The Sunny days are here

We are having some lovely weather here at the Cottage and the garden is really starting to take shape and colour after the winter. The magnolia tree which you can see from your bedroom window is looking quite stunning with the flowers in profusion.
Lindsey is spending a lot of time getting everything in shape so the next time you are here please make a point of wandering round the garden or having a seat on the patio.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

Spring has sprung!

Little lambs are gambolling in the fields, the daffodils are nodding and the sun is splitting the sky.

We are delighted to say that we can continue to offer complete luxury at prices that have not increased since 2006!

Lambing Season

The lambing season is now with us and the sights and sounds in the fields around the village are quite magical. Spring is definitely here now with the sun making some welcome appearances and the temperature is starting to rise.

We can't wait to get out in the garden and start getting it knocked into shape. We have already purchased some plants for the spring which are in the greenhouse at the moment and hopefully should be getting planted out quite soon.
