Rosemary Cottage

29/10/2022

We’re back Rosemary Cottage after the summer season,having shared our cottage with many lovely people & families + pooches, but unfortunately a percentage of people have shown scant regard for leaving the place in good order
I believe it to be common decency to remove rubbish,strip beds pot wash etc,but alas some people must live like tramps !
We as dogs owners have always welcomed dogs at no extra charge as long as the owners are respectful. Over the summer we’ve had many dogs owning families stay without issue, but,a number of folk seem devoid of the ability to remove not insignificant amounts of dog hair (gross).
This has lead us to the sad decision to remove the automatic dog friendly nature of the cottage,unfortunately we will now be selective to size of breed,moulting & numbers of dogs + we now have to consider a charge per dog. This really is so sad and it breaks our hearts that we have to do this but as in life the few spoil it for the many !

Here's a interesting picture,our row of cottages circa 1905,they'd been there for quite a few years prior to this photo being taken. We believe they were built towards the end of the 16th century.
And no that's not me in the picture 🤔😄

ROSEMARY COTTAGE and COVID 19
Next weekend we are delighted to be able to start welcoming guests back to the cottage.
The suggested guide lines for holiday property rentals are there to give the
holidaymaker a sense of security that the property is free from any potential
coronavirus issues, Debs & myself really want guests to have the peace of mind that when you arrive at Rosemary Cottage that this is the case.
The cottage we believe is always super clean and tidy,the bedding as you would expect is always fresh for every guest, and the bedding protectors always changed.
The issues from our perspective comes with the the suggestion that all soft furnishings (i.e. Cushions,throws etc) be removed, also all books,dvds,
board games, Xbox and Xbox games also be removed. This in our opinion removes the homeliness of the cottage and reduces it to something of a soulless place.
At this moment it would appear that the general consensus is that a period
of up to 72hrs would be the the optimum time for the item/surface to be considered safe.
This all presents us with a variety of potential problems and I won't bore you all with them.
So our solution is this, when we receive a booking for a weeks holiday we
will immediately block out the proceeding week, this gives time after cleaning for the cottage to "rest". By doing this we feel that the books,dvds etc,etc can remain, and the intrinsic nature of the cottage's relaxed homeliness remains intact. In effect we half the number of booking but increase the guests security, this hopefully will be a short term measure, but with the vast amount of uncertainty at the present we believe this is the most responsible thing to do. We have put this into place for the next couple of months and will keep reviewing inline with government guidelines.
Always happy to take any suggestions but hope you all think this is for the best. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
Laters 😁😁xx

Far from the maddening ( correct spelling ! ) crowd, atop Farleton fell with ingleborough in the distance. Today was a good day (thanks to ice cube ! ) 😁😁

Early Autumn at the cottage 🐿

Returned to the Farleton walk in cooler conditions and this time used my OS App to track,25 quid a year money well spent check it out + Mrs Dillon Foster came with me this time.
From the glamour of a Italian wedding,
To the reality of a Lakeland fell 😁😁❤️

But a fab walk nevertheless.
One for when the snow comes 🤙
