The Garden House WAS a Good Hotel

Advantages: This was a very good hotel in it's day
Disadvantages: Burnt down in 1999

...Review of The Garden House Hotel, Folkestone, Kent, England You will note that my title for this review states that the Garden House Hotel WAS a good hotel. So why is the word WAS in capitals? Well, Ciao is a little out dated as this hotel actually burnt down in 1999! The Hotel I was born and brought up in Folkestone, Kent and remember this hotel as one of the grand old Victorian buildings that used to dominate my home town before the property developers moved in and turned us into a concrete jungle. Folkestone is a seaside town on the South East coast of England. It is around 70 miles from London and around 16 miles from the city of Canterbury. The cross Channel port of Dover is approximately 7 miles along the coast. Folkestone was a very popular holiday destination from the time of Queen Victoria. The Garden House...

colours on the garden house

Advantages: covers dull garden woodwork
Disadvantages: mmm mmm not sure i really like it

.... We are revamping the school garden and the summer house is looking very dowdy so it was decided to colour it.

Review of Cuprinol Garden Shades

Mirehouse Historic House and Gardens

Advantages: Very warm welcome, great historic house, superb gardens
Disadvantages: Limited admission times to the house

...If you visit The Lake District / Cumbria, I strongly recommend that you go and visit one of my favorite attractions in the area which is Mirehouse Historic House & Gardens. Mirehouse is located on the A591 about 3.5 miles north of Keswick. You'll find some breathtaking scenery there. When you leave your car at the car park, you can either start having a walk in the forest nearby or just cross the street and enter into the large gardens surrounding the house. Our children certainly enjoyed the adventure playgrounds and the nature notes that you can find there, but you will also see a walled honey garden (The Bee Garden, created in 1780), a collection of different shrubs, meadows of wildflowers etc. Take a walk at the lakeside (yes, there is quite a pretty lake close to the house - Bassenthwaite Lake) and enjoy the impression...
