Last night was the awards dinner for the local tourism awards – we won the award for the best self catering provider! We are absolutely delighted, most of the cottages are over 3 years old and we do work hard not just to keep them up to spec but also to improve them for our guests. It is great to have this recognised!
The Granary is our stunning 3 bedroom 5 star Gold Award cottage – a really special and luxurious place to stay! See our virtual tour
We have struggled to show just how lovely this cottage is but I think that our new tour will really help to show what a gem it is. You can choose to wander around the rooms or there are some shortcuts below the main image to take you directly into each room. Have a play with the controls – you can spin around, look down to see more details or up to see the beamed ceilings. It is easier to use the directional arrows at the bottom of the image to “walk”, you can also use your mouse but if you are not careful the mouse can teleport you next door!

What’s more if our 2 bedroom cottages are booked for your dates in the run up to Christmas we have some special low occupancy rates (1-2 bedrooms).
We are really excited about our new Google Virtual Tours, most of you will be familiar with Google Street View well now you can come inside!
These interactive tours let you wander around the cottages from room to room, you can even spin round to see what is behind and you can look up and down.
So many of our guests say that the cottages looked great on the website but when they got here it was even better than they had expected. Still photos have their limitations and the virtual tours should help you get a feel for exactly what it will be like should you choose to join us or try a different cottage next time.
We were very lucky – the tours were shot over two days in early November and the sun shone for us most of the time!
What a lovely sunny day in East Yorkshire – October often brings some nice weather and we certainly deserve some after all that rain in September.
Short breaks available in October even some half term availability but don’t wait too long! http://www.broadgatefarmcottages.co.uk/yorkshire-late-availability-holidays.html
We do have the Stables available this weekend – you could visit Hull Fair and Beverley Food Festival! Hope to see you soon!
We are blessed with a great range of restaurants close to the cottages and on October 7th the prestigious Beverley Food Festival which is now in its 7th year hosts a number of different activities including food workshops, bands and entertainment.
A family day of food festivities and fun with around 80 stalls selling local produce, cookery theatre, street entertainment, local produce BBQ, competitions and much more.
It’s a great day out – why not join us? http://broadgatefarmcottages.co.uk/pdf/availability.pdf
Did you see us in Essentials magasine? – an opportunity to win a short break at Broadgate Farm
We still have some availability for this weekend in September – lots of interesting guided walks around Beverley. There are also bike rides, walks and horse rides around the Yorkshire Wolds over this weekend and the following week right up to the 23rd September. So if you enjoy walking or the outdoors why not join us – you can find the complete brochure here http://providerfiles.thedms.co.uk/eandamedia/ys/2296206_4.pdf
Annual Visit England Inspection now over – it is great to have the work we do improving the cottages recognised – two of our cottages have moved up to 5 star!!! All the others retain their grades and the Gold Awards.
Thank you all housekeeping who worked very hard today getting 4 cottages ready for guest arrivals and the inspector, it is always a lot of work when we have 4 cottages to do but when they have to be ready for the inspector’s visit mid afternoon it does get a bit hectic.
Why not come and see for yourselves? – we have a few August short breaks left so check out our late availability http://www.broadgatefarmcottages.co.uk/yorkshire-late-availability-holidays.html
Miho and Matthew are getting married today – Miho and her family are staying at the cottages. This morning they have a special kimono dresser from London helping them prepare for the wedding, it takes half an hour to have each kimono fitted. The sun has come out and I hope you have a wonderful day!
