Thank you to the boys and their boat!

Happy sunny Sunday! We've been busy creating a lakeside view for you to enjoy. Can anyone guess where this view is? Also, we've added a new swan treat to the biscuits we leave for your arrival! The season is shifting, leaves are falling, and a morning chill has begun.

P.S. A beautiful drawing and review from a much-appreciated guest visiting Swift.

Cheers for now!

For all our Floppy admirers - I thought I would share a quick little clip.
Floppy and Freddie!
He loves her!

Happy father and son, birthday-weekend getaway!
Both landed a beautiful carp each!
Thanks Calvin for sending me the photos - 9.2 and 6.5 pounds respectively.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue,
What would we do,
Without all of you?

Which brings me to the point of this post!
Life can get in the way, and we don’t always take the time to say thank you for your continued support - choosing to stay here at gravel pits.

Mum and dad certainly created a mini Paradise for us personally and our guests to enjoy.

I had to share this recent review because Liz’s words beautifully capture the Gravel Pits essence.

Paul and Liz were new guests from Airbnb, they left a few special notes, including a poem that I’d like to share with you all.

We thank you all for the love, respect and support you continue to give us all.

Gratitude
Francesca.

P.S. The butterfly’s & brambles are amazing this year!

What a beautiful weekend down here, from capturing the stormy looking clouds in the morning, and finishing up with an award winning sunset.

Grateful for our Mallard guests (just four blokes from the north - their words, not mine) who bought us flowers to say thankyou, while booking again for next year!

A new addition to our workforce- Henry, who is in full replace peg mode!!
I found the little baby swallow contemplating his next move down at the stables.

Finally Miss Floppy stealing the limelight with her performance on the water as the sun went down! Thankyou Dawn for capturing those pictures.

Happy Summer solstice 🥂
