Folly View Open Again

We have had our first guests and all went well. They had a lovely time. They did lots of cycling and particularly liked the Long Mynd. My change over went well except I was very hot and bothered. I wished I could have joined our departing guests on their stop off at the Millennium Green […]

Birdlife

On Sunday morning Lyndon opened the bedroom curtains to see a family of Bullfinchs feeding on the greengages Mum and Dad and four fledgling. This is Mr and Mrs Bullfinch’s second brood.

Little Egret

Updates at Folly View 2020

I briefly let you know about our updates at Folly View each year. The main thing we have had to do this year is get new bed frames. They came from a company called Get Laid Beds. I refused to look at this website to start with as I thought it might be something naughty. […]

Covid-19

We hope that all of our lovely customers, those who have stayed previously and those yet to stay with us, are keeping safe well. Covid-19 is not something any of us had thought would happen and hope that you, like us, are following Government advice. As one of our customers said to me that her […]
