Autumn Half term

We've just spent a week at the cottage ourselves so we could get on with the yearly maintenance tasks. At least that was the idea - the weather was so mild that we managed to get several long walks in. This week we also had a new bathroom flooring put in. The existing baords had to be boarded first before the new vinyl ( lino ? ) could be laid. It was expensive but we are very pleased with the results.

Booking News

We are fully booked from 24th July to 4th September. If you wish to book for the School Summer holidays next year (2011 !) please contact us by December 2010 to secure a place.

Alterations

Last week during the half term we started some alterations on the top bedroom. The recent pine cladding has been removed from the walls and we are upgrading the insulation in the walls/ceiling. This should result in a larger space and it's tempting that this should be the master bedroom and not just for kids! In the picture above the horizontal beam and one of the vertical ones are original (c 1850) the rest of the vertical ones were supporting the cladding, these will be removed and the space opened up. More photos after the plasterer has been!

Half term week

This week is our usual time to make any little changes we've been storing up during the year. This year it's the turn of the top bedroom which is getting a new ceiling and upgaded insulation. It's also time for the large pine fire surround in the living room to go.

Weather is still holding up very nicely, It's warm on the beach and the beach fishermen are out in force.
