Off to the USA today

I am all organised and am just going to pack the car for my first leg of my trip. Not a very exciting

journey down to Manchester Airport!

Weekend breaks in Stoney End Cottage

Fancy a weekend in Stoney End Cottage? We have some availability during June and July and some special offers on the Stoney End web site at www.stoneyend.co.uk

I am off to the US next weekend to see our daughter and leaving Mike to hold the fort!

I have never visited America and I am really excited about the trip. The flight is a little long but I have charged up the I Pad with films and books to keep me occupied. So after the 18th this blog will be from Washington DC for a few days.........

Makes it all worth while.

We had guests last night who make running Stoney End worthwhile. This is an extract from their questionnaire

' This is the nicest B&B we have every stayed in'

Thank you! Your comments made our day.

Getting Warmer!

It is a lovely morning up here in Wensleydale. The winds of the last few days have gone and the day has a much gentler feel. Not to self........must try and get out for a walk today!!

Trip Advisor Award

Well today we received an e mail from Trip Advisor giving us a 5 rating for Stoney End for 2011!!

We are delighted with this award and would like to send a big thank you all the people who took the trouble to review their stay with us in such a positive light. Our guest experience is really important to us and even after running Stoney End for 21 years we still strive to get it right!

Thank you to all our reviewers!!

Walking from Stoney End

I have just got back from a walk which the family will recognise as 'round the block' it is not too strenuous and takes about 40 minutes walking at a steady pace and taking in the views which are just spectacular. Just now the fields are full of growing lambs with their mums and the meadows left for hay are just bursting with wild flowers and full of colour. The footpath follows the river for a while and it is lovely to see the ducks with their ducklings dabbling about in what is today a fairly full fast flowing river. Back to the reality of bookkeeping now.........

Spring Bank Holiday

Is everyone ready for another Bank Holiday! It is the last one until August we have B&B vacancies here at Stoney End, visit and enjoy a few days in the Dales. Visit www.stoneyend.co.uk for all details of availability over the weekend and the following week.
