Early Spring and Manesty Dairy Refurb

We are enjoying beautiful sunny days and clear blue skies (not a cloud in sight today!). With the snowdrops out and the daffodils coming through, it feels as if spring is really on its way, despite the persisent covering of snow on the fell tops. It has been a busy time over the winter, which much refurbishment, painting and decorating. The highlight of the new year has to be Manesty Dairy’s transformation; with new carpet throughout and a totally new upstairs living/dining/cooking area, the few lucky guests who have already stayed in it have been delighted with their accommodation. We have opened up the upstairs area by knocking through the kitchen and stairway into the previous sitting room, making a fabulous light and airy space. With a new made to measure kitchen from the local Southey Interiors and local greenslate worktops from Lakeland Slate, the cooking faclities have been transformed. With plenty of storage and worktop space, it is delightful for those who like to cook something special when away from the busy home life. For everyone else, it is great to look at! Who can resist sinking into the sofa, with the feel of 100% wool carpet beneath their feet, and looking out onto our own wooded area, home to tawney owls, red squirrels and much more. Guests staying in Manesty Dairy are encouraged to take their morning cup of tea outside to the seat there and enjoy the view over Manesty’s roof tops of the stunning Borrowdale valley, as generations must have done so before.
