Harrop Fold Farm

It is official that Harrop Fold Farm is now one of 30 of the Coolest B&B's in Britain - courtesy of the The Times - Saturday 27th March.  We are delighted of course!  We will continue to work very hard to ensure that our 'Cool' b&b offers the warmest of welcomes to our guests.

It is also official that Harrop Fold Farm has been shortlisted in 3 of the Visit Chester and Cheshire Tourism Award Categories:  B&B of the Year, Self-catering of the Year and Taste of Cheshire.  We have to cross our fingers, toes, arms and legs and wait until the Tourism Awards Celebration on Friday 11th June for their announcement.  This is always a fantastic night where, together with the great staff of VCC and loads of our colleagues we let our hair down and party in the beautiful surroundings of Chester Racecourse.  So here's hoping...

It is definitely official that our flighty returning guests have returned...yes, the Housemartins are back!  I have just been upstairs in my bedroom and saw them swooping to their old nests checking them out.  I know one housemartin does not make a summer but after the dreadful winter we have endured I am delighted to welcome these guys back again.

Also today I have bought my first Yorkshire strawberries and how sweet they taste...bring on Summer, and the lovely English fruits.  So I am now going to decorate today's Victoria spongecake with some whipped Yorkshire cream and these fragrant strawberries, lucky folk who taste this! 

Catch up soon,

Love, Sue xx
