A quiet few moments.....

Working up to the Easter Weekend...... Yoredale now has a lovely patio area with its own hot tub and it looks great. Our first guests to try the new tub put a glowing review on Trip Advisor which is very much appreciated and very encouraging! Photos when the weather is favourable!
Last week saw the Welcome to Yorkshire Y10 Conference in Harrogate inspiring stuff.....see Welcome to Yorkshire at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, York Races, supporting a production of 'The Railway Children' at Waterloo Station and here in the Dales a New Turner Trail, Yorkshire Cricket and Golf. These are just a few of the initiatives for 2010 keeping Yorkshire up there in everyones minds for great short breaks and holidays.
By popular demand two night self catering weekend breaks are now available from Stoney End Holidays with the option to stay Sunday night for just £20 extra these weekend breaks are available throughout the year from now on. We still of course have midweek breaks at great prices. Come and spend a few days in the beautiful dales.
The weather has reared its head again today just when we thought spring had sprung we were promised snow. Just so you know there is no snow here today.................

Busy Busy......

We never seem to have enough time particularly in the run up to Easter and it seems this year is busier than most. Staff training, 'staff' means me, is always a priority in these 'quieter' winter months and this year has been no different so far I have done two training sessions based on communicating via the internet and last week the new Welcome to Yorkshire Customer Care course which I found really useful. Training courses are always a great opportunity to get out and about and do a bit of networking on top of what you can pick up on the day no matter how experienced! Next week its "Successful Sales Techniques"
Next week is also Y10, the Welcome to Yorkshire conference, this year in Harrogate a 'not to be missed' date in my diary on Monday next.
Finally the highlight of the past week was for Stoney End to rise to the dizzy heights of Five Star Gold and we are delighted to receive this accolade from Visit Britain it will be a real boost for the coming season.
Back now to making beds and ironing...........

Three for two nearly at an end!

Beautiful, dare I say, spring weather here today. Lovely clear blue skies and sunshine just perfect for a brisk walk in the Dales!
We have a three nights for the price of two offer running until the end of March so if you fancy a really good value break give us a call! We still have a warming log fire to enjoy in the evenings and of course our delicious breakfasts to wake up to!
