Poppy News...


Springtime at Poppy Cottage ...
The snow seems to be a distant memory (we hope) and spring has definately sprung this week with the daffodils and buttercups in full show.  Our poppies are slowly poking their heads out of the ground and the colourful rockery to the front is looking splendid.  I am sure Ben will be keen to put some photos on this page very soon, and will leave hime to do that!  Also to follow will be updated shots of our ducks, ducklings and pigs.  Lots happening and the building and gardens to the side of Poppy Cottage are now looking tidy with just some stonework to be completed to the new build and further landscaping of the garden.  Busy Busy Busy!! 

Our Hens...

Our girls roam freely around the garden and supply us with 'Fresh Eggs' daily. We regularly home ex-battery/rescue hens from the British Hen Welfare Trust www.bhwt.org.uk  They have to date re-homed over 250,00 battery hens. 

With views across into Skipton and the hills and open countryside to the rear this really is a lovely place to watch the 'girls' going about their daily business!

Dog Owners...

As dog owners ourselves, we love dogs but unfortunately not in the B&B. So because we know how much dog owners want to have their pals with them when out walking in the Dales we have come to an arrangement with local kennels 'Banks Ghyll'. Your dog will enjoy B&B in comfortable kennels and will have you nearby to take out for the day. The kennels are situated approx 2 miles out of Carleton and have a very good reputation in the area. It is a very friendly family run business and have been running the kennels for over 15 years. Unfortunately they are closed from January through to the end of March each year.
