I have to mention it although I don’t want to and I have tried my best to resist.  It’s less than 4 weeks away.  As you can probably tell, I’m not a fan.  At all.  So if you do stay here over Christmas do not expect tinsel, baubles, flashing fairy lights or Christmas trees.  There are some of those – Christmas trees that is and real ones too, still in the ground – in the woods behind the hill and there’s a holly tree outside the Stable.  I have been known to provide mince pies but they’re not just for Christmas, I like them.  I also like sprouts.  Do expect a warm and cosy cottage (there’s underfloor heating), spectacular views, plenty of places and time to cycle or walk and peace and quiet.

The Barn is available until 27 December and the Stable until 26 December.  Dogs (or cats if you must) are welcome in the Stable.  £85 per night, minimum 2 night stay.

See you soon.  Bah humbug.
