It’s with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our very well known and much loved cat Bob

Bob was a favourite around the farm. He often made himself at home in the holiday cottages helping guests to eat their breakfast - bacon was a special
favourite - and becoming rather comfortable on the sofas.

He received regular mentions in the visitors book, helped children overcome their fear of animals and was an all round favourite with a huge personality and a great character.

He was also a much loved face in the riding school. I don’t know how many times clients found him
sitting in their cars or had to step around him on the mounting block as he wanted to get on the horses with them.

He would accompany us on hacks and was a favourite on the farm tours.

Bob was 19 years old and had been with us since he was a kitten. He was born on a farm less than a mile away and was bought for Ryan on his first birthday. He had certainly had his adventures over the years, once going missing for 6 weeks before finding his way back home.

He was such a big part of our lives for so many years and he leaves a huge hole.

We loved you so much Bob and you will be sadly missed.

People ask how to book a short stay or longer holiday with us…..

You can book directly with us on our website at www.laighhaptonfarmholidays.co.uk

Or we have a deal running just now with “Wowcher” for two or three nights, in the Chaff House or the Hayloft which is great value for a short winter break.

If you want some more information or we don’t have your exact dates, please get in touch.

And remember there is always a deal to be done on breaks of 4 nights or more 😉

When the weather is wet and miserable outside just remember those beautiful days of sunshine which bring a smile to your face and make it all worthwhile.

I was preparing the Chaff House hot tub for new guests when I paused for a moment in the warmth and took in the stunning view with the animals.

Let’s hope for many more of these 😍

We love helping families create memories ❤️🧑‍🧑‍🧒👶❤️

Baby Harris enjoyed his first ever stay away with his mum and dad at the Chaff House at Laigh Hapton Farm Holidays

I’m sure at 5 months old he is one of our younger guests!

His mum and dad enjoyed the chance to relax in the hot tub and even had friends over for the evening as the Chaff House sleeps 4

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to be able to welcome you back soon ☺️

So I started this post last week and then got distracted half way through and didn’t finish it.

I just wanted to show some of the wonderful chemicals we use on a daily basis to manage our hot tubs.

I don’t want anyone to think that this reflects my current guests at all as the hot tubs are emptied cleaned and refilled after every stay so the foam is all gone.

I will need to wait until this happens again before I can show you the magic effect of “No Foam” or “Foam Away”

If you arrive at your hot tub holiday and the water in your tub is foamy then it may well mean that it hasn’t been fully cleaned between guests.
Fresh water shouldn’t foam 🫧🫧🫧

Foam in your tub usually comes from swim suits which have been through the washing machine and small amounts of soap powder residue remaining in the fabric causing the water to foam up.

It can also come from body lotions and potions which haven’t fully been rinsed off before bathing in the tub.

The advice is always to shower before and after using the hot tub, rinse your swim wear well in clean water (or better still buy new swimwear before your holiday 😉)

If you do these two things you should avoid foam in your hot tub - or if it’s a foam party you are after carry right on 😂😂🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧

Although not essential after a stay at Laigh Hapton Farm, it is absolutely delightful when guests choose to show their appreciation

Ben and Paige came to stay in the Hayloft for 4 nights and are just away this morning.

They didn’t have the best of weather but still thoroughly enjoyed their stay

The window in the bedroom of the Hayloft is the perfect place from which to see the horses, the peacocks and other animals and generally just watch the world go by

The secluded garden around the Hayloft hot tub also offers stunning views across the fields and farm land.

Ben and Paige thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet and it was so nice to receive the lovely card and flowers after they had left.

Thank you so much ☺️ we were delighted to host you

(And I haven’t even checked the guest book yet 😬)

The animals are a big reason for guests coming to visit the farm.

Being out in the quiet calm of the country with stunning views, nature and our friendly community of animals.

One of the favourites are the peacocks. The colourful noisy birds who love to inhabit the Chaff House decking and rest on the hot tub.

If you are lucky they will eat peanuts from your hands.

Pea fowl are ground nesters and although they lay eggs every year only one chick ever made it to maturity. Usually the eggs are stolen by foxes, or badgers 😢

Last year 7 chicks hatched out between the two pea hens but with no way to keep them safe from
predators all were lost within a few weeks of being born.

This year we decided to take positive action. When the pea hens were nesting, we found one of the nests and swapped the eggs for dummy eggs.

Our intention was to try to incubate them although we had never done that before.

As luck would have it one of our chickens went broody that very day, dutifully sat on someone else’s eggs….

And three weeks later became mum (or surrogate mum) to three baby peachicks ❤️❤️❤️

Do you remember I said we have the loveliest of guests???

Well how’s this for some exciting news

Ashley and George came to stay in the Chaff House for a few days break

They had an enjoyable stay, Ashley and her daughter Rosie went out hacking and Rosie improved her rising trot on Baxter.

They explored the local area and enjoyed the hot tub and the stunning views.

But to top it all George proposed to Ashley…..

And she said yes!!

So chuffed that Laigh Hapton Farm was the venue for their engagement 🤩

I do hope they come back to get married.

All the very best Ashley and George - we wish you every happiness for the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We have the loveliest of guests…

Anne checked into the Hayloft yesterday for a weekend break

She had a camera around her neck and I mentioned that I would love to see any photos that she took. 📷

She was very humble and told me she was just a keen amateur, but I think she underestimates her abilities.

Just have a look at these stunning photos

I really think she has captured them beautifully

Thank you Anne 😍

We welcomed the lovely team from the Beach House Cafe in Ardrossan to the farm for their staff day out.

Farm Tours, Horse Riding and a Special Carriage Drive with Paddy

What a time they had and what a wonderful bunch of people they were.

Pop in for a cuppa or a toastie at The Beach House Cafe
