The sun has been out, the Daffodils and Primroses are popping up out of the ground. It will be Magnolia time before we know it. What better place to see these beautiful trees, than in Cornwall. Ruby Farmhouse Holiday Cottages are not far from lovely National Trust gardens and walks in order to see the…
We started taking bookings in our lovely granite Cornish holiday cottages 20 years ago! Where does the time go…. So much has changed in those 20 years and so have our guests. Die hard self catering guests seem few and far between now. I would like to make our new guests aware that by booking…
Happy Holidays. This has turned out to be a very busy out of season, season. Short breaks coming out of our ears. This is down to our main booking agents doing deals with Airbnb and booking.com. I’m not complaining, although the amount of cottage cleaning, washing, ironing scones were pretty massive, guests are guests no…
Where to start………Brexit! NO, I promise not a single word. But lets talk about the weather, there can be no complaints about the weather whatsoever……the easiest winter ever. Looking after our zoo has been a total breeze. Walking the dogs, riding, trimming the dry goat feet, it was so incredibly easy. But wait a minute,…
Well, It’s that time of year again. Our decorators have been and given lots of TLC to Ruby Cottage. Next week they will turn their attention to Kernyk Cottage and finally our smallest, Dingley Cottage. In the meantime, I turn my thoughts to our guests. Will the retired guests, who visit, be as relaxed as…
At last, what I have known all along has been confirmed! Yes I know it was a while ago but I got side tracked. Since I visited here over 10 years ago and knew if I didn’t live in Wales I could live in Cornwall because I just knew, in my gut, that Cornwall was…
So I’m told Spring is here, the Magnolias are flowering so it’s official, IT IS SPRING. It will now stop tipping down, the air will turn crisp and dry and things will start to dry out………..Ok, so I’m hopeful, I have to be, with all our animals and the number of times I get soaked…
For those of our guests who have already planned to come stay and for those of you yet to decide where to go this year, there follows a little taster of what is going on in Cornwall this July. Before I start there are only a few weeks left in Dingley Cottage during July. So best shake…
Thanks to the media again! There appears to be a huge amount of people thinking that Cornwall is cut off after all the dreadful weather. Well, I’m sure there are times when the Cornish feel cut off and would sometimes like to be closed! But rest assured we are not by any means closed for…
I’ve been meaning to put finger to keypad for a while now but keep getting side tracked. You see things are quiet ish with the cottages, ( just me asking lots of people to paint, reseal, cut back etc etc in order to get spick and span for all our guests arriving soon). It’s all…
