We had a delighted couple this morning. Their 7 week old baby for the first time ever slept through the night during their stay in Lakeview - usually she wakes up every hour!!!

A Grand Day Out!

Being typical people that live in Devon and don't always explore Devon we decided to buck the trend and go for a day out. The sun was shining and we headed to National Trusts Castle Drogo about 40 minutes from Millbrook.

We are National Trust Members and enjoy looking around stately homes and grand gardens. Castle Drogo was fantastic! The most modern castle to be built in England.

We had a lovely walk around the gardens and a fantastic Devon Cream Tea in the cafe.

Our Silver Award (and the photo!)

On Friday 15th April we attended the Visit England Excellence Awards Ceremony in Birmingham (In the great hall) with other local finalists.

It was a lovely evening and we became a Silver Winner for the Self Catering of the Year 2011!

Sarah at the Big Sheep and Bovey Castle also took Silvers for Devon.

The Awards Cake

Just something I thought was good at the awards ceremony last night!

Snakes don't work

Just to let all of you know don't believe everything you read on the internet!

Snakes do not keep chickens off the garden :-)
