“Arrived at Spindleberry ready to chill; Weary and tired, but oh what a thrill; A wonderful cottage set in the woods; A peaceful retreat all ready for us.
In through the door ready to explore; Our home for two weeks, wish it was more; Stress evaporates as trains steam on; Memories of work have all but gone.
Many little extras behind all the doors; Making our holidays better than any abroad; Grey skies, blue skies, sunshine or showers; Our time at Spindleberry remains always ours.
What more can we say but THANK YOU”
