As we reach the end of our first summer and the autumn season starts, we feel we have good reason to feel satisfied with the way things are going, we have been very busy with the first ten lodges pretty well full throughout June, July and August.
The second phase of lodge construction is very nearly complete and all 20 lodges will be completely finished by the end of November. Whilst challenging, this has proved massively easier than the first phase as we learn from experience, I think we are definitely getting the hang of building lodges now. As I write, Rosie and her team are furnishing the next four lodges which are being let for October half term and Louise is well into the next phase of planting.
Bookings for the Christmas and New Year holiday period and a large number of guests have already made reservations ― if last year is anything to go by it won’t be long before we are full.
People are travelling from all over the country to stay with us, I guess repeat bookings are the proof of the pudding in terms of customer satisfaction and happily they are coming in thick and fast now. One family have been twice so far and have just booked again for New Year.
Fishing seems to be one of the most popular pastimes, but walking, sightseeing and generally chilling out are also high on the agenda. Coast to Coast bookings are on the up as word gets around that we are the top spot to stay in, feedback has been extremely positive from walkers, especially when they realise we have baths with plugs and lots of hot water ― luxury!
