Although things have been a little more relaxed in 2021, we are still vigilant and Covid-aware. The Visitors Book is still not in use (such a shame, it is a lovely record going back over the many years that we have been welcoming guests to Hope Bagot) and we are providing postcards for guests to use instead. Some, however, seem to feel that it is not enough and have sent us kind letters or Thank-You cards as well. Here is a small selection of the nice things our guests have said to us:

 

Dear Dorothy and Clive,

Thank you so much for keeping Acorn Lodge in tip-top condition for holiday makers. We enjoyed so much the peace, the view and watching Clive feed the cows and bullocks, the wildlife and the weather. Thank you also for the company, and please take care of yourselves so we can enjoy another holiday next year. Best wishes,

Barbara & Bernard
