Lady Teal is now 5 Star Gold

Lady Teal now Five Star Gold    

At our recent VisitEngland assessment we are pleased to say that for the ninth year in a row we again achieved our Five Star rating. This year was a bit more special than even that! We are thrilled and proud that we also received the prestigious and rarely given Gold award. This accolade is for those who go the extra mile for their guests. While star ratings are based on a combination of quality, range of facilities and level of service offered, Gold awards are based solely on quality. We really feel that this award cements our position as the premier canal and river hotel boat in England.

This pair of swans are amazing. Every year they have 10 or more cygnets and keep them all.

Off up into the Dales

Heading off up into the dales today. Not such a great day today, weather wise, but the scenery and the lovely flight at Bank Newton more than makes up for it.

Also all the cute little lambs and ducklings.

Shouldn’t be too long now before we see our first cygnets up here in the dales.

We do love this time of year as the countryside all wakes up around us.
