Newbarn Farm - Devon Angling in comfort

http://selfcateringcottages.blogspot.com/google9ae923ee60002300.html

Hello,

Welcome back to Newbarn Farm's blog, the self catering cottage and angling centre in the heart of Torbay, South Devon.

Just installed are the new fishing toilets. They are complete with hot running water and flushing toilets giving our loyal Devon fishing fraternaty the best possible comfort whilst visiting us here in South Devon.

We have both Ladies and Gents toilets. See the piccy below:-


Lots of visiting anglers comment on what great facilities we have here. Obviously we are pleased that they are happy as we pride ourselves on giving a good visitor experience. Come and have a look and we can show you around the fishing lakes, the other facilities and the 8 Self Catering Cottages.

On that note we have added another newly refurbished cottage to the other 7 self catering cottages, all of which are available for those who wish to come to Devon fishing. We stayed in it for two nights to test it out and didn't want to leave. Have a look:-



















Don't forget that if you come to us in South Devon and stay at our Self Catering Cottages you get a concessionary rate for fishing. If you come in a group we will help organise angling matches for you and even supply a trophy to the winner.


Hope to see you soon,


Richard.

Some more news

Dave has been manufacturing a chicken coup

(when I first saw that, I thought it said chicken soup, obviously not planning on keeping the chickens long, should have gone to Specsavers)

so we will soon be offering fresh eggs.

He has also refurbished the outside of the Water Shed and Log Shed in a rural design, to keep them the same as the surrounding areas. They look great!

Darren has been contacting interested Devon parties regarding fishing days and corporate angling and team building events.

We have road tested some new pasties and pies, which I think is more to do with Richards twisted knee, you know how out of balance you can get when your carrying a bit of weight.

They are delicious and we hope we can give you a Devon / Newbarn Farm cottages and angling centre Pasty to delight, They can also offer bread and cakes etc so we will also have a celebrity cake as well, Catherine is road testing these at the moment," must get some more crutches".

Richard and Catherine organised a 50th Birthday party, which went very well. The 6 people attending the celebration had Devon bacon sandwiches to start, with tea and coffee on offer all day, all tackle etc was supplied and they had their fishing on Island pool. This pool was temporarily closed to the other anglers. At lunchtime they enjoyed the pasties and accompanying grub. More teas and coffees, lots more fishing and then home. Several promises to return were made on departure.

Richard gave the birthday girl some Devon Clotted Cream Fudge, "must remember crutches for the guests", and a birthday card from everyone at Newbarn Farm who were involved in the day.

The lady anglers are all commenting on the greatly improved toilet facilities, as have a lot of the gentlemen fisherman. They are a great success!!

Our license to sell alcoholic beverages is imminent, should be with us by the end of the month. But we are at the mercy of Torbay Council.

It is our plan to offer Devon wine, cider and beer and we hope everyone will enjoy the local tipples.

The old quarry area has been cleared now, it needs landscaping and then we plan to turn it into the reading / quiet area. It has a great view over Island, Rosie and Lulu Pools and not a bad view towards Willow and Mirror Lakes.

So you can get your large glass of Devon Cider, a nice book on Carp fishing in Devon, relax and fall asleep, recharge you batteries for your next hectic day at Newbarn farm cottages and angling centre.


Pies are good

Regards Simon
