Spring Lambs

Spring is well and truly here in the Cotswolds. On a recent walk I was fortunate enough to get an up close experience with some lovely lambs. While they were not confident enough to eat from my hand they were quite happy to have their noses stroked.

Today's task is to plant the tomato plants in the greenhouse. As any summer visitor to the cottage will know I am very proud of the tomatoes that we provide our guests at breakfast time which are fresh from the greenhouse. Hopefully we should get a good crop again this year. 

The annual strange looking tomato blog

As usual I have been growing tomatoes in the greenhouse for use for our guest's breakfasts. This year has been no exception in managing to provide an odd shaped tomato that can go on display. This fine shaped chap has been on display in the entrance hall for a while drawing many an admiring comment. I have to admit that the smile and eyes are not completely natural!

Autumn is well and truly with us now and with the clocks having changed the nights are getting dark so early now. We have still managed to get some lovely sunny days and Pam and I have managed to get some nice long walks in the sunshine albeit with a few extra layers of clothing on.

Fruit Abundance

This is the ideal time of year to pay a visit to Folly Farm Cottage. Not just because the weather is so warm or that the garden is so pretty but because there is an abundance of fruit available fresh from the garden and the greenhouse for consumption at breakfast time.

We have apples, pears and plums from the trees in the garden and a vast supply of tomatoes from the greenhouse.

Why not come and pay us a visit while these delicious offerings are available and have a very healthy breakfast. Alternatively you could still have the Folly Challenge but take a piece of fruit away with you for later in the day.

Quality in Tourism Inspection

We are delighted to announce that following our recent inspection that we have maintained our 4 star rating for both the B&B and the Self Catering parts of the business. Not only that but we have also been awarded the coveted Gold Award for the third year in a row.
The inspector was very pleased with the standard that we are providing and was impressed to see that the business was doing so well during the current economical situation.

Breakfast Award

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the newly launched Breakfast Award by Visit England. Only 7% of B&B establishments throughout the country have received this award and the girls are thrilled that their quality breakfasts have been recognised in our recent assessment.
The fact that we source the majority of the components of our breakfasts from the local farms has paid dividends. Hayway Farm in Broadway and our own local Mabels Farm in Back Street have maintained their high standard of produce and we are pleased to keep using them.

The Folly Challenge

The recently launched Folly Challenge has been added to our breakfast menu. This option is so stacked that we had to buy new plates to fit everything on!
Several guests have risen to The Challenge and have only just managed to finish their breakfast. Check out the menu to see what all is included.
Can you manage the Folly Challenge? We look forward to welcoming you to the Cottage and we will ensure that you have a great break with us. Click here to see the whole breakfast menu.

Go on holiday on an egg.

If the thought of a big breakfast is too much for you when you stay with us why not go for the boiled egg option. We now have fantastic double egg cup holders which look the part with the large eggs that we get from Hayway farm in Broadway.
