Foraging always brings a huge sense of satisfaction, and Wild Garlic marks the start of the bountiful season of delicious foods to find while out and about in our woods, fields and hedgerows.

Now we have a roadmap out of lockdown we have some wonderful opportunities for short breaks away. If you’re quick you can take advantage of remarkably good prices for last minute bookings.

The Cottage Beyond is the perfect large house to rent for family celebrations; we know that because guests often come here with their nearest and dearest to toast those notable birthdays and momentous anniversaries. They come for a week long holiday to pack full of fun, or they come for a weekend of merriment, but either way they go home with a whole heap of goodies for the memory bank. You should do it too.

We are firmly in the midst of Autumn, with darker days and cooler weather. So get the fire lit, a cup of tea in hand, and enjoy discovering some interesting facts about awesome Autumn!

As the summer draws to a close and the temperatures begin to drop, we begin to think about supporting our fantastic populations of garden birds, as their natural food supplies dwindle. 

Lots of people are beginning to discover the thrill of wild swimming, and there are a few options not too far from The Cottage Beyond worth exploring.
