Its that time of year again. Thought you might like to see a snapshot of the new lounge wallpaper and the comfortable snuggle chair which now sits in the corner. More pics to come in due course. So much to do ...

I cant believe how beautiful Long Wood is this year. Probably because of all the rain. There have been so many violets and then primroses. Now we have the cowslips opening with anemones and bluebells shortly behind. There are other beautiful wildflowers that I dont know the name of. Sadly no availability at the moment - but how about next year ? By the way, we do have a week available in June.

PRICES 2023
But first of all some lovely pictures taken in Long Wood this week. This is a lovely time of year to visit, even tho the weather is unpredictable.
But thinking of 2023. Well, who knows what prices are going to do. But there is no point in charging so much that no-one wants to visit. So I have added £25 to the summer dates, and £50 for early and late season bookings to cover the energy costs. I hope this is ok for all of us. Bookings are now coming in for 2023 so please get in touch. No need for a deposit until January.

JUST THE BEST REVIEW EVER from guests who stayed in June 2021

We have been renting holiday cottages for 40 years, and none have surpassed the cottage, location and welcome of Longwood Cottage. It is not only a people heaven with the lovely, well equipped cottage, exquisitely peaceful location and friendly, helpful owner, it is also, as advertised, truly, doggy heaven.

Our four-legged friends had the run of a huge garden, and walks in the orchard, forest, or along the forest path, without picking up the car keys. They loved it, as did we, as we felt no pressure from the owner, who is a true dog-lover herself, Clever arrangements are in place to facilitate knowing when we or the owner were walking the dogs, so that we did not step on each others' toes (or paws). Cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for dog lovers.

Would love to stay there again.

All this lovely blossom - and no-one to share it with. We are looking forward to welcoming guests after 12th April. The season looks as though its going to be busy but there are still a few dates available. Hope you will come to visit us

WINTER IN LONGWOOD is proving more interesting than I thought. Neighbour Andy is taking his daily exercise in the wood and has found these amazing funghi. So small yet the colours are fantastic. So enjoy looking at Hairy Curtain Crust, Scarlet Elf Cup, Wood Ear and Yellow Staghorn.
Its made me think about the variety of people who have visited the cottage and why they come. We have had a huge variety of dogs, including guide dogs, a hearing dog and two flyball collies. We’ve had the occasional cat (not always successful) and Bertie the parrot who comes every year with his enormous travelling cage. Then we have the walkers, like the two elderly ladies who were doing the whole of the Wye Valley walk partly based with us. And there was the gentleman who spent his holiday gazing at the dragonflies around the lake. And of course there are those visitors who come with their telescopes to enjoy our wonderful dark skies. Some people just come for the peace and quiet and for the comfort of the cottage.
Hopefully you will be able to join us at Longwood Cottage this year. Its just a case of waiting to see when we get our freedom again. Luckily the cottage is very tucked away and private, and we do make every effort to clean it more than thoroughly between visitors. Lets hope we can look forward to seeing you in 2021
