A PLACE IN THE COUNTRY

Advantages: Huge variety of properties, hospitality, relaxing
Disadvantages: Can work out expensive for smaller groups

...These days, it is so simple and inexpensive to travel abroad that it is all too easy to overlook the wonderful opportunities that the English countryside has to offer. I am a big fan of weekends away within the UK, and I enjoy staying at B&Bs, which offer a reasonably priced, more personal, value for money option than hotels. However, the problem with B&Bs is that they only really serve as a base, with the many owners not being willing to have guests in the rooms during the day, or the rooms being too small to comfortably accommodate this. As such, a great alternative is the cottage holiday. I?ve been on two such breaks in the past couple of years, both quite different, and both booked through English Country Cottages. WHAT IS ENGLISH COUNTRY COTTAGES? English Country Cottages is a holiday booking company that showcases a huge...

Kidnapping at The Cottage

Advantages: Suspense built well in parts, a bit funny at times.
Disadvantages: Poor script, very flat film on the whole, lacks overall energy and excitement.

...From director Paul Andrew Williams (London to Brighton), 'The Cottage' is a comedy horror film which originally achieved a UK cinematic release in March 2008. This dark British film stars Andy Serkis, Reece Shearsmith, and Jennifer Ellison. Brothers David and Peter come up with a master plan in order to bag a large sum of cash between them. The plan is that they'll kidnap the daughter of a big time gangster, hold her hostage, and demand £100,000 ransom. It all seems so simple, it doesn't quite go according to plan however and before long everything starts to go wrong for the two brothers. As the £100,000 looks increasingly less likely to become theirs, things go from bad to worse and the brothers, along with their hostage Tracey find themselves to be in a very sticky situation indeed. This bungled kidnapping gets incredibly messy as...

Who lives in a house like this?

Advantages: Encourages imaginative play, kids like it
Disadvantages: Bit pricey now, weathers

...Little Tikes are a well known American manufacturer of children's toys for indoor and out. This particular item is a small cottage (1.27m x 1.14m x1.31m) with 3 shuttered windows, a front door, a sink and hob, phone and a small corner table. This cottage has been a staple toy in our garden for the past three years, I say in our garden but actually in that time we have had three different gardens, and this house has made the two moves with us. Through these moves the house has had various incarnations as an icecream shop, a doctor's and latterly is often used by children to play "school". Sometimes it is even played with as a house - in any event it is a great source of imaginative outside play and universally popular with any visitors. The cottage is made of moulded plastic and comes in a large cardboard box that would require...

Do You Want To Visit My House ??

Advantages: Hours Of Fun
Disadvantages: No Seating

...When I was knee high to a grasshopper I used to have a wonderful play house at the end of my garden, made very skillfully by my Grandfather for me it had everything including a secret back room buried in the bushes. I used to have hours of fun hiding out in my secret house at the bottom of the garden so when I was reminded of this when in the Doctors surgery (They had a play house for children there) I thought I must get one for my children. Now unlike my Grandfather I am useless with tools and building so I was going to have to do it the easy but expensive way and buy one. I looked all over the internet and considered proper wooden built houses but I could see to many injuries taking place so eventually settled on finding a strong durable plastic one. I looked in all the usual places and found the Little Tykes Cottage in Toys R Us...

The Cottage

Advantages: Some funny parts, alot of gore.
Disadvantages: Jennifer Ellisons accent.

...This review contains some spoilers. Introduction Maybe you haven't heard of 'The Cottage', it hasn't had a major release anywhere across the world (including the U.S.), but I watched it close to the release date of the 14th of March. On leaving the cinema I couldn't decide on which way my opinions were going; did l like it, or didn't I? Hopefully this review will help me to decide. Firstly, it is a fairly low budget film; and I can only describe it a horror comedy. Filmed mainly on the Isle of Man and Yorkshire, you can imagine the kind of scenes this film has. Plot Two brothers think up an ingenious plan get rich quick, they kidnap a crime lord's daughter and hold her ransom in a remote cottage. From the beginning it's a disaster, the kidnap turns into a botch job as the amateurs make mistake after mistake. Upon entering...

A little house for little people to play in

Advantages: good for imaginative play
Disadvantages: ?

...A little house to play in. When we visited Mead open farm Adrian played in their play area one of the toys he liked was a playhouse. It was the country cottage made by little tikes costs £159 including delivery from the little tikes web site. This playhouse would be suitable for children between the age of 2 to maybe 6 or 7 it is not a very tall not a large playhouse so I think older children would be too big for it. The measurements are 131cm/ 4 ft 4 inches tall, width 104 cm 3 ft 5 in, length127cm /4 .2 in. This house is made of strong moulded plastic it has a door, which opens and closes and 4 windows with shutters on. It seems well made and strong. There was a sink and a cooker having taps and knobs to twiddle, inside the house that Adrian played in. I must admit at 18 months old he was not playing house but enjoyed...

...on the cozy coupe) and have always been very happy with them. Little tikes are an American company and have been making toys since 1970.They have an impressive track record and have won many awards. Their toys are all made of bright chunky plastic, are very strong and extremely safe. I don?t intend to write any more about the company or the huge range of toys they make. If you would like to view their range they have a good web site at www.littletikes.com Having decided to buy a little tikes playhouse we then had to decide which one. Little tikes make several playhouses and a wonderful castle. I loved the log cabin but at nearly £300 we decided against it! We finally chose the country cottage as this seemed the best value for money. What does it look like? ??????????.. The playhouse is 50 inches in length x 41 inches wide...

Krishna Cottage - Was I Supposed to be Scared?

Advantages: Satisfactory ending
Disadvantages: Mediocre acting by the leads, completely UNNECESSARY songs!

...I had never heard of Krishna Cottage (a Hindi language film) before I sat down to watch it so I had no expectations either way, good or bad. Knowing that it Sohail Khan was billed as the lead didn?t give me any high expectations of the film as I?ve never really been a fan of his. PLOT SUMMARY The film starts with a professor donating a book he?s written to a college entitled ?Nine and a half stories? (that?s the English translation of the book?s actual title). When asked why it?s not ten stories he says it?s because the last story is unfinished. The principal of the college locks the book away in a storage room and tells his staff not to let anyone near it. Some time later Manav comes back to college after an apparent absence of 4 years with his fiancée Shanti. That same day Manav meets and is highly intrigued by new...

A desirable cottage ideal for expanding family!

Advantages: a delightful cottage to house your sylvanian figures
Disadvantages: none

...It was my younger daughter's fourth birthday on Saturday and from her grandparents she received this delightful Rose Cottage which is part of the Sylvanian Families range. They had already bought her a little family for Christmas but they didn't have anywhere to live - hence this cottage. I love the entire Sylvanian families range and I think all of the products are particularly well made with good attention to detail and this cottage is no exception. It is made of a very sturdy plastic but it almost looks like wood. The cottage has two rooms over two floors with a connecting ladder between the two. It has a door and windows that open and close at the front. The back is open though allowing the child full access to play inside it. The cottage has a red roof and has a really lovely cottagey look to it. It's not a very big house but it...
