EXCELLENCE IN TOURISM AWARDS We were absolutely delighted to win the Gold Award for 'Sustainable Tourism' in 2007 and we have now been awarded Silver by the Green Tourism Business Scheme. All of this is on top of our Gold Award in 2006 for 'Best Value for Money Accommodation' in the Heart of England area. QUALITY ASSURANCE SCHEME We have had our annual inspection from Visit Britain and are very pleased that we are now officially Family and Pet friendly. We have already gained both Walkers and Cyclists Welcome accreditations. BOOK NOW FOR AN AUTUMN BREAK We already know that we are going to be busy this autumn, so don't leave it too late to book your holiday. Have a look at our Availability page for ideas of some of the many interesting things still going on at this time of year. Why not combine a day at the races with a visit to an apple festival or start your Christmas shopping early at one of the craft fairs? Some of the local gardens are magnificent in their autumn colours and there are lovely walks from our door to build up an appetite before you enjoy a meal at one of the many excellent local places to eat. At the end of the day your cottage will provide a warm and comfortable hideaway where you can relax and make your plans for tomorrow.
