Sheep out, Guests in!!

After much thought,debate and planning the new cattle grid was installed at Holt Farm on the day that the snow arrived. We have put the grid above a new concrete channel through which the stream now flows. In extreme weather conditions the track to the farm will no longer flood. Along side the grid we have a new pedestrian walk way so humans can still walk the footpath but the sheep will be excluded from the cottage lawns and gardens.



Snow and ice have provided some challenges but all our guests have got to the cottages and have managed to return home after their vacation. The 23 girls from Cardiff who stayed that first snowy weekend were surprised by our weather as Cardiff at that stage had very little snow.

Congratulations to all of you who made the trips, I am sure that you will remember the very special times you shared walking through the snow, taking great photographs of the landscape and each other in the snow, and keeping warm by the cosy log fire in the cottages. Here are a couple of our photos.
