Harvest Time

How nice to just go into the garden and pick your own veg !!Everything is cropping great this year. 24 jars of plum jam just made.

GOING.........

The large barn in front of The Stable cottage is coming down. Once it has completely gone The Stable will  have great views across the fields. 

A garden area will be created allowing guests in the cottage to relax and enjoy our beautiful summer weather....if we ever get any !!!

What a difference a week makes !!

BEST IN LANCASHIRE

Delighted to announce that we won 'Best Self Catering In Lancashire' at this years Lancashire Tourist Board awards. We were unable to attend the awards ceremony as we were away in Ireland cheering on the European ladies at the Solheim Cup so our daughter Zoe and her partner Chris attended on our behalf.
They had a great night and were presented with the award by Jodie Prenger (Nancy in the West End musical 'Oliver'). They were both relieved that they didn't need to give a speech!
Our cottages will now represent Lancashire in the national 'Visit Britain' awards 2012.

FIVE STAR *****

Great news.....We have just been awarded 5 Stars for our latest cottage 'The Stable'. We are absolutely delighted, makes all the hard work worth while. It has also achieved M3 in the mobility ratings which means that it is suitable for a disabled guest with the severest disability. Everyone who has stayed in it so far have been full of praise for it.

NEW ADDITIONS !

Meet the 2 new additions to our Barn Owl family. They're ever so sweet, we've christened them 'sleepy' and 'dopey' . They probably won't hang around for too long before they spread their wings and find pastures new.

The Stable continues to delight all those who stay tin it and has been fully occupied since the begining of July...

Were delighted that we have been shortlisted again for the Annual Tourism Awards, it would be the icing on the cake if we won this year.

THE STABLE

Our latest cottage is finally finished and it's fab. Been alot of hard work but we're delighted with the finished product. It has been carefully designed to accommodate guests with any disability whilst not appearing too 'clinical'. More photographs and a complete description of the cottage can be found on our website www.martinlanefarmhouse.btinternet.co.uk
