Loads of artichokes, and no-one to eat them!

We have lots of artichokes from the garden at present, absolutely delicious, and they make lovely soup, with carrot, or roasted or in pies etc.  We just had them with potato in rosti, very nice!

Christmas break, 2011

Fancy being looked after and spoiled over the Christmas period? Get away from it all, relax, walk and have tea by the open fire at Michael House, followed by delicious festive meals! We are offering a four night break over Christmas again this year, as follows:



Arrive on Saturday 24th December, in time for afternoon tea by the fire and a three course evening meal.



On Christmas Day, have a leisurely breakfast, which will precede a four course Christmas dinner in the early/mid afternoon. Supper will be buffet style.



Boxing Day, another leisurely breakfast and a light lunch if you would like it. Afternoon tea will again be served by the fire, and a three course evening meal will follow.



On Tuesday 27th, breakfast, afternoon tea and a three course supper will be on offer. Guests will depart on the Wednesday morning, after breakfast.



Four nights, partly full board, £325 per person for the en-suite rooms, and £275 for the room with private bathroom. A single supplement will apply.



Bookings for earlier or later dates will be at the normal rate.



Comments from previous Christmas guests:
