Increase in the ‘Staycation’

February 28th, 2011

As the cut-backs start to take effect and everyone is feeling the pinch in their pockets, many families are changing their thinking and their spending decisions when planning their Easter and summer holidays, in fact the office of national statistics recent figures support this thinking.

In the 1960s camping became a popular fun family holiday, and campsites became more popular than guest houses, and today, the family holiday market in the UK, is getting a boost in interest from camping and caravanning holidays.

Holidaying on a camping and caravanning holiday park certainly offers freedom from the restrictions still imposed on guests staying in boarding houses and hotels, is less expensive, and is certainly a wholesome and healthy active holiday, seen by most children as exciting and a huge adventure.

A vast range of camping and caravanning sites spread across the counties of Devon and Cornwall which has always proved to be an extremely popular location for the perfect holiday, taking into account the predominately warmer and dryer climate, areas of outstanding natural beauty, coastal and country options, is it any wonder that these counties seem to be top of the list of ideal locations.

The growth of self-catering holidays is on the increase and caravan parks around the UK are proactive in their campaigns to raise the profile of camping and caravanning among the UK population, especially as the great British public is choosing the option of a ‘staycation’

Being involved in outdoor pursuits has a positive impact on how we feel, and either camping or hooking up a touring caravan or renting a static caravan, we can all enjoy simple pursuits such as cycling, walking, climbing and surfing, and the growing consensus it that this is highly beneficial for all to escape to the country, to take exercise, and visit local cultures and places of interest, and more importantly can enjoy an uncomplicated time with family and friends.

A spokesman for Wooda Farm Holiday Park in Bude Cornwall, said “so many more people are planning holidays in the UK, and enjoying the pastimes which in some cases have been pushed into the background over recent years” he went on to say “holiday parks in Cornwall are definitely a popular choice, and at Wooda we can offer luxury accommodation and plenty of activities to make the perfect family holiday”.

Clearly ‘staycations’ are growing, the camping season is lengthening, and the outlook for this form of leisure time is extremely positive.

COMBE HOUSE DEVON : 12 Years of Sustainable Growth

February 22nd, 2011
Combe House Devon - Country House Hotel

Combe House Devon- Country House Hotel

Combe House Devon, a romantic country hotel and restaurant near Exeter, has been run privately by the Hunt family for the past twelve years. During this time, Ruth and Ken have transformed this stunning Grade I Elizabethan country manor and its gardens into a truly memorable place to stay. Their love of hospitality and genuine desire to offer guests something special has helped the house to grow organically through a series of sustainable projects.

Although the Hunts have only recently started using the terms ‘eco’ and ‘sustainable’ to describe their work, their first ‘green’ project was back in 1999 when they discovered other residents at Combe – a colony of rare Lesser Horseshoe bats which are only found in South West England and Wales. The house was adapted to ensure the bats habitat remained intact and they have since been joined by even rarer Greater Horseshoe bats. It’s now the ninth largest colony in the UK.

Other highlights have included the faithful restoration of the derelict Georgian kitchen in 2003. This was followed by the gardener’s outdoor washing facility; now a bath house for guests’ use. It’s filled with rainwater collected from the roof and heated by a wood-fired boiler using logs from the estate – Combe’s alternative to a spa.

2005 saw the restoration of the derelict Victorian laundry at the rear of Combe House Devon into the signature Linen Suite. The vast, original drying rack was retained and suspended from the ceiling in the sitting room and a large, round 6ft diameter copper washtub – reminiscent of bygone wash days – was commissioned for the bathroom.

The restoration of Combe Thatch Cottage was completed the following year, a romantic hideaway for two with a secluded walled garden at the end of the mile-long drive. Next came the Thatched Garden Folly and open Thatched Bath House, both hidden in the woodland garden and built by the Combe team and local artisan tradesmen.

More recent and ongoing projects include planting new orchards; re-introducing the ‘Putt’ apple and bringing back cider-making; creating soft fruit gardens; converting two large lawns into a kitchen garden and restoring an overgrown Victorian garden to supply around 70% of the fruit and vegetables in season needed by Combe’s chefs to help turn their food miles into food metres. The derelict Victorian potting sheds and glass houses have also now been restored to full working use.

Future plans include the restoration of the Georgian orangery for special events, and stables and outbuildings into a bakery, butchery and Devon cookery school, plus the introduction of free range chickens and rare breed pigs into Combe’s apple orchards.

Local Seasonal Food

Ruth and Kent Hunt have always been strong supporters of the use of rural industries purchasing quality local produce whenever possible. Combe’s two resident Master Chefs of Great Britain, Hadleigh Barrett and Stuart Brown, now take ‘local’ a step further and seek out nearby farmers who believe in the closed cycle system where animals are born and bred on the same farm and never leave until ready for the local abattoir, which is two miles from the farm. This is real farm-to-plate practice.

Combe’s sustainable projects have gained them several awards including the ‘Most Excellent Innovation in Sustainable Hospitality’ from Condé Nast Johansen 2010 and a Gold Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

Accommodation in the main house at Combe is in fifteen luxurious en-suite bedrooms and suites, including a four-poster and the Linen Suite, while tucked away at the entrance to the drive is Combe Thatch Cottage; prices for 2011 start from £199 B&B per double/twin room per night. Dogs are welcome in some rooms and the cottage.

Both staying guests and non-residents are most welcome to enjoy Combe’s full dining experience, which starts with drinks and canapés on the croquet lawn on warmer days, or by the crackling log fire in the Great Hall when it is chilly outdoors. A three-course dinner is £49 per person while lunch, also three courses, is £33pp, both with canapés.

For details call Combe House Devon on 01404 540 400 or visit www.combehousedevon.com.

Combe House has a Green Tourism Gold Award and is a member of the Sustainable Restaurants Association.

Dec. 20, 2010 — London, United Kingdom — With more snowfall and sleet forecast for Monday, 20 December 2010, holiday makers and transit passengers in Europe will find themselves stranded at the airports for a third consecutive day. Air travel has been severely disrupted through the week with several delays and many cancellations of flights from Heathrow, Gatwick and other parts of the nation. A reduction of flights is expected in Germany and Paris and other parts of Europe as the entire continent reels under heavy snowstorms.

With snow, wide-spread ice and freezing temperatures playing havoc to travel plans and no relief in sight and holiday season, there are many passengers who will find themselves stranded till December 24th at the very least. All short haul flights have been cancelled and only a few long haul flights, departing before 1800 will be operational.

Although airliners are offering stranded passengers the chance to rebook their flights for a later date and full refunds, there is still the issue of accommodations. With the holiday season in full flow and thousands of passengers stranded and unsure of travel plans, many are opting for the comforts of serviced apartments.

House of MoLi, a global serviced apartment provider, has several serviced apartments located across London that are available at this point. Several stranded passengers have booked MoLi’s serviced apartments in London and have appreciated their competitive pricing and amenities.

Christmas at The Old Vicarage

December 4th, 2010

The Old Vicarage Guesthouse Ambleside is unique in the fact that it has its own swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, along with a guest lounge and extensive terrace which no other Ambleside b&b can offer.  The accommodation appears more like that of a top quality Lake District hotel rather than a bed and breakfast.  So it is for that reason that guests would consider staying at the Old Vicarage Ambleside bed & breakfast for Christmas.

This comfortable and pleasant Ambleside b&b is friendly and relaxing with a warm welcome for all customers. It is located in Langdale; perfect for walkers.  The owners of the guest house always have a warm welcome for all of its visitors.  Originally, The Old Vicarage was bought and set up as a quality Ambleside bed & breakfast in 1989 when Ian and Helen Burt saw the potential in the building.  They were experienced hoteliers and had been running their own hotel businesses since 1977 and prior to that they were also involved in hotel management and consultancy in both the Lake District and Wales.

The Old Vicarage Guest house is ready to welcome its customers and guests with beautiful decorations, a roaring, open fire and a feeling of welcoming festive cheer.  You will be kept warm and can relax instantly once in the bed and breakfast.  Christmas is the perfect time to get together with family and friends in order to catch up, relax and share the festive spirit.  The Christmas decorations will be sparkling to get you in the festive mood and the tree will be grand, the hot roaring fire will warm you and the prospect of staying at the Old Vicarage Guest House for three days will relax you further.

You can arrive at one of the best guest houses in Ambleside on Christmas Eve and be welcomed with tea and chocolate brownies which will be served in the lounge between 3.30 and 4pm.  After dinner in one of the many restaurants in town guests can then go to midnight mass if they so wish and upon their return they will be served nice warm mince pies with brandy butter.  Then it’s off to bed to get ready for the arrival of Father Christmas!

On Christmas morning you will be treated to a full Lakeland breakfast and then after that the rest of the morning is yours to open presents and enjoy a gentle stroll in the local countryside if you so wish and if the weather is good to you.    Guests will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenic views of the Lake District.  After dining out for Christmas Day lunch and if you have room then you can enjoy a slice of Christmas cake and a pot of tea in the sitting room.

On Boxing Day you can again enjoy a full cooked Lakeland breakfast, then relax in front of the fire with the morning papers, for the in house guests the day is all yours to enjoy either an invigorating walk or take the opportunity to hit the Boxing Day sales.  http://www.oldvicarageambleside.co.uk
