November ....Brrrr. After a hectic warm October November has arrived and it is WINTER! Quieter here on the business front and we have time to catch up on jobs put off during busy times. Looking forward to the Deliciouslyorkshire Awards next week. A great night out with yummy food in prospect at Rudding Park and an excuse to get out pretty frocks..........

Back to Business!

We had a wonderful holiday on the Isle of Wight, two weeks of wall to wall sunshine and we are now back at Stoney End with a tan! Not bad for the UK in late September........

Here at Stoney End things are really exciting we find ourselves in the last three for two awards!

Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfasts and Local Food Heros. Being finalists for the region in the Local Food Heros involves being filmed for a TV show......... the film crew are arriving today. Don't know what to expect I will let you know how we get on.

Deliciously Yorkshire Breakfasts is an important one for us and the winner will be announced at an awards dinner at Rudding Park at the beginning of November all the hard work done for this one just have to turn up at the awards in our best outfits with our fingers crossed! Wish us luck!

Holidays on the horizon!

Ho dear I seem to have neglected this blog! We have had a very busy summer and are now looking forward to taking a little holiday ourselves. I have spent most of the summer nursing a damaged tendon which thankfully is improving now..........resting was not an option (thank goodness for strong pain killers) Today is just beautiful here in the Dales, a warm and sunny September day who could wish to be anywhere else! Our late summer visitors have the promise of a really super week. I must try and post more often...........

Glorious June!

It is a perfect June day up here in Wensleydale.....long may it last!

Pity I am going to spend the day cleaning and ironing, hopefully I will get to enjoy the sunshine later in the day. We have been nominated for the 'Local Food Hero' award and need votes. So if you have enjoyed one of our breakfasts please follow this link and vote for us!

Back to the ironing..........

News from Stoney End

Fabulous Friday!! 

Well not really we are without guests tonight and I have time to do this! I have never kept a diary and hopefully I will be able to keep this up. We have spent loads of time (and money) over the last few weeks raising our game here at Stoney End, flat screens, ipod docks, new bathrooms, new furniture and wallpaper and much to Mikes horror moving existing furniture! Still all done now and we are all set hopefully for a busy season. Much of the work has been brought about by just looking at how we could improve the guest experience but some has been instigated by our guest input........ thank you all for the ideas.
