Dear Friends of The
Chestnuts and Culls Cottage (Sent 6th August 2010)
The Summer has got off to a
fabulous start for us with our cottages featured in the July issue of
Limited Editions magazine. And, both The Chestnuts and Culls Cottage
awarded Gold by the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
"First
impressions on walking into Chris Burton's stunning holiday cottages are of
how beautiful, light and airy they are. As soon as you step inside you are
enveloped in a cocoon of Zen-like tranquility."
If you've stayed with us we
hope this is exactly how you felt. For those who haven't, then maybe you
should consider staying in our calming world.
We still have some availability
at both The Chestnuts and Culls Cottage throughout the summer and the
occasional late availability web specials.
Affordable Luxury:
Although The Chestnuts sleeps
up to ten and Culls Cottage sleeps up to eight, our midweek four nights for
the price of three at just £698 make a little slice of luxury very
affordable. Also unlike most holiday cottages we continue to take weekend
bookings as well as weekly rentals throughout the summer months.
Green Business is Golden:
At the end of June we were
thrilled to be awarded Gold from the Green Tourism Business Scheme which
recognises excellence after auditing the many facets that make up our
business and our green efforts. You can be assured that your visit to our
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty does not impact heavily on the very
beauty that attracts you.
Lahloo Teas at
The Chestnuts and Culls. A journey through your senses:
Those of you who have
visited The Chestnuts or Culls know that we leave some tea and coffee. Our
teas are supplied by specialist tea importer Kate Glover who runs Lahloo
Tea. Kate's Earl Grey and Black Loose Leaf Tea have just won Great Taste
Gold. Kate has kindly offered a 20% discount for orders
placed before the end of August. Simply enter 'ilovelahlootea'. Lahloo teas
can be found at
www.lahlootea.co.uk
I wish you a wonderful summer
and we look forward to welcoming you to our "Zen-like tranquility" soon.
Kindest regards
Chris
Dear Friends of The
Chestnuts and Culls Cottage
(sent 17th June 2010)
It's official: Culls
Cottage wins Four Stars and Gold for Excellence in Service and Quality
We are delighted that Enjoy
England has awarded our new property, Culls Cottage, their Four Star rating
as well as the coveted Gold for Excellence in Service and Quality. The
awards come after an exhaustive audit of the 17th century cottage which we
have restored and brought back to life. Those of you who know and love
The Chestnuts will immediately recognise the same loving attention to detail
and style at Culls.
Not only, but also...The
Chestnuts has retained its Four Star rating and Its Gold Award for
Excellence and Service. May was a pleasing month for us all and we took the
opportunity to celebrate at the opening of our annual Art Fair.
We are very grateful to all
those who visited and as a result we raised £364 for our three charities,
Shilton Baptist Chapel restoration fund, SANE and The Barn Owl Trust.
Watch this space for further
details of our October Art and Chic Gift Fair (29th to 31st) which will have
a distinctly Christmas feel to it.
We still have some availability
during the summer period particularly at Culls Cottage and don't forget our
great midweek four nights for the price of three offer that we run for most
of the year in both cottages. Shilton village is lucky to have the Rose and
Crown Inn which is in Alistair Sawday's Special Place to Eat and Drink and
Southrop is a wonderful village with an award winning pub/restaurant - The
Swan. Both unspoilt idyls have walks and cycling routes a plenty and if you
want to stay put both cottages have shady gardens with lots of outdoor
seating and BBQ.
Have a wonderful summer.
All the best Chris, Linda and
Louise
