News from Tongue Cottage and Special Offers
Spring is coming – After a cold, snowy wintery spell, there are certainly signs that spring is on the way at Tongue Cottage. There are blankets of snowdrops around and the daffodils are poking their heads above the ground. Our resident red squirrels have been very entertaining – its been fabulous to see them chase each other around and watch their amusing acrobatics as they hang off the bird feeders! The birds are frantically feeding and are noticeably more vocal as they prepare for nesting. The weather although changeable has been warmer! We even hit 14 degrees yesterday!
Tongue Cottage is an ideal place to visit in the spring. The roads and popular places to visit are quieter – just think of the peace and solitude you can experience on some of the fells. So good for the mind and soul!
We still have availability from in March and April. Book 7 nights and get 10% off.
