Summer days.... drifting away...

Well.... we're approaching the end of the summer holidays!  Where has the year gone?

Sadly, the weather has not been so good over the past few days, but our guests earlier in the summer experienced the very best that Devon has to offer during balmy days - beaches, moors, etc.  And some of our guests were lucky enough to have crystal clear night skies enabling them to enjoy the annual Perseid meteor shower.

We are closing during September to refurbish the swimming pool and to add one or two new facilities for visitors to The Barton.  We are currently preparing the site for our new play area and the builders are moving in to turn one of the carriage houses into a boot/map room where guests will be able to borrow wellies, maps and guidebooks and outdoor toys.  We are also hoping (subject to BT granting permission) to offer free Wifi in both of the cottages (using a very sophisticated bit of kit that neither Phil or I really understand!!).

Also, the interior of Brimbles will be undergoing some changes.  We are moving the playroom to downstairs and creating a back door offering direct access from Brimbles to the garden and new patio area.

All very exciting - check the website for new photos as the new facilites are finished.

We are really delighted that several of our past guests have already booked for next year. If you'd like us to hold some dates for you for a couple of weeks (past or new guests) just contact us via the website.

Oh and yes!!   After several requests from guests I will be sharing the recipe for Divine Lemon Pots on this blog very soon!

Enjoy the rest of the summer............
