Good news….eggs and an award

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Poachers Hideaway was awarded “Highly Commended” in the accommodation of the year category at the Lincolnshire Tourism Star Awards on Monday.  We were just pipped at the post for overall winner….all I can say is they must be good to beat us!

The new hens are settling in and we have had three eggs so far this week , hopefully our guests will be able to have fresh eggs again soon in their welcome packs.

Spring arrives early at Poachers Hideaway

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

The Snowdrops are out and the Bluebells are through and the birds are singing, the lovely sunny days we have experienced recently have given a real spring like feel here at Poachers Hideaway.

Christine and Paul who live in The Lookout Cottage have taken on new roles as Caretaker and House keeper and you will see them around this year.

We have been short listed to the final three in the Lincolnshire Star Awards for Self Catering properties, Christine and I will be attending the award ceremony on Monday…so fingers crossed!

The new bedding we bought last month and other soft furnishings for the Granary and Shire Horse Barn all look nice and fresh and give that real 5* appeal.

Anna has taken over the therapies and the service has been expanded and renamed “The Spa Therapy Retreat” as we are now able to offer a full range beauty and holistic therapies…..we are making lots of appointments for men who have their own menu of therapies available.

The guided walks start again on the 1st March. There should be plenty of eggs in the Spring as we have a new flock of free range brown hens.  The organic garden is dug and ready for planting and the Lincoln Red cattle will be going out to graze soon.
