Cold Day = Tacos Soup

          The cure for miserable wet weather is either to pontificate about how we should embrace the seasons OR take measures to ensure that embrace is kind to you! What better way to do this than to have a bowl of hot home made soup, with home made roll and butter, in front of a roaring log fire. Jacky's special soup for tomorrow is the ever popular TACOS, a meal in its self!

Sunny Rememberance Sunday

               A beautiful sunny Sunday morning for Rememberance Sunday. Lest We Forget.

         The morning mist has slowly risen with the sun, revealing the normality of the view from Robin Hood, this view only changing with the seasons and time.

BEES at Oakford Cottage.

                I am pleased to say that my bees survived the winter 2013/14 and multiplied somewhat with swarms occuring during April and May this year. I now have 5 colonies helping to increase the local bee population. They are also helping my addiction to honey. So we have plenty of delicious Derbyshire Honey for sale from our own hives and also from 2 hives from the Derbyshire Beekeepers Association. We keep their training hives here for training purposes to encourage newcomers to this wonderful and absorbing pastime.

LATEST NEWS AFTER A LONG SUMMER.

Works Completed...

                                              Oakford Cottage Tea Rooms and B&B and End Cottage Holiday Let now have their own independent Sewage Treatment Plants. This vital investment is not only good for us, our neighbours and the hamlet of Robin Hood but also means that neither we nor our business impinge on the environment. We would like to thank our customers for being patient whilst this work was being carried out.

Next.....

                                              We will be open as usual (every day except Tuesday) through the Winter except for a short break for us ( to be advised ). Jacky is recovering well from her leg operation and is back in full charge in the kitchen again! The Winter season is always a bit quieter for us and during this time further small renovations and improvements will be being made ready for Spring.

But.......

                                                Whilst all this is going on don't miss out on our tasty and warming lunches and refreshments during the cold weather. Most especially Jacky's latest soup Gallician Broth which is getting very favourable reports. Roaring log fire always burning in our dining room.

And.......

                                                  Tell us what you think. Sometimes we get it right sometimes we get it wrong, please tell us either way either in person or on our new Tripadvisor pages. Look under Hotels Matlock or Restaurants Matlock.

PS...message for dogs.

                                                    Your clean and well behaved owners are always welcome in our dining room as well.
