Spring News

The sunshine has finally arrived in Hotham and the past few days have been glorious. It's delightful to see the daffodils flowering in the village after the sensational snowdrops this year! This week we've also seen our first tulips of the season, hoorah!


We've recently teamed up with a fantastic new catering business, 'Delicious Memories' as we wanted to offer our guests even more options if they choose to dine in. Guests can now order a Traditional Yorkshire Afternoon Tea or High Tea to be prepared for them at the cottages either for their arrival or on any day during their stay. Delicious Memories will also cater for dinner parties at the cottages so if you're planning a celebration and would like to book both cottages for the occasion, why not think about having your dinner prepared for you. The highlight is that you can have waiting service too and you won't have to do the washing up afterwards! A unique and memorable experience.


Talking of food, we still work closely with Jill Kellock too. She's very well known in the East Riding and is a highly-skilled cake maker among other things so if you're planning a special treat for a friend or loved one, why not contact her to make a celebration cake for you. Jill also cooks delicious suppers to go. She'll drop them off at the cottages and either leave them fresh for that day or pop them in the freezer for you.


Having opened in June last year, we haven't had much time to create the perfect English Country Cottage garden for our guests, it is very pretty now, but we want to make it special. So, now Spring is here, we are working on improving the main bed and planting creepers. As per last year guests who like cooking will be able to use the fresh herbs we plant in pots on the patio.


We are working on offering breaks with a theme so keep logging onto our website for an update in the coming weeks.


And finally, we've updated our price list for Spring 2011, please see the website for details and we hope to hear from you soon.
