Hi Guys Ruben here again – whilst chillin on my mat at herself’s feet!

Its been an action packed few days with the felling of one of the great Beech trees in the Adventure Zone- a real shame that it had to come down but would be far worse if it dropped on someones head! Alison took some fab pictures here’s one to whet your appetite but you can see more on the Glebe House cottages Face Book page – we are well and truly getting to grips with Social media ‘n’ stuff!

Woof Ruben here – hope you are all well and keeping warm?

All good here at our dog friendly holiday cottages near Bude where my owners have been keeping very busy getting the cottages ready for the year. There is much swishing of paint brushes and flexing of the credit card to put up new curtains and plumptious cushions etc so all looking very lovely – shame I’m not allowed onto the furniture to try it all out – they spoil all my fun!

Mews cottage is the first to benefit from all this hard work and is looking gorgeous I’m sure you will agree?

Squashy leather sofa with fresh & bright curtains - no chintz in sight!

Coach House is next on the hit list so watch this space!

Blake is being his usual very loving self and has taken to cleaning my eyes every day aw bless!

We had some smashing guests stay over the Festive period and we all had quite of lot of fun as you can see!

Bookings are going extremely well I gather, it must be my fan club all booking to come & see me – well they wouldn’t want to come and see the Blakehound now would they – well not wearing that wig!

Righto off to nab the comfy bed before the pesky Blakehound pinches it again…………..

Ruben out woof:)

Woof!  Ruben the Labradog here

Happy Christmas!

Well its all systems go here with baking & wrapping & a general air of business – as you can see I am managing to take it easy guarding the fire and trying to stop the pesky Blakehound barging in front of me!

Just want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year – bookings are now being taken, there are even some special offers so do call and come and see us soon……

Woof woof Ruben out – see you next year! x

Woof Ruben here – a little windswept but still mildly warm down here in our cottages North Cornwall Coast on the Border between Cornwall & Devon……………….

Well my owners have been busy trying out new wines & beers for their delightful little bar hidden down in our cellar. Top favourites would appear to be a new Cornish Lager called Korev and a premium gin called Tanquerey apparently served over ice with a trendy new tonic hits the spot!

All thanks to St Austell Brewery and their Christmas tasting in Truro last week – never let it be said they don’t get out and about on behalf of their guests leaving us dogs to fend for ourselves! (Actually before you worry we were well looked after by Aunty Debbi and the twins, so don’t feel too sorry for us!)

Righto better go out and inspect the garden after the windy night and get Blake to pick up a few twigs ha ha!

Hello

I don’t know where the time has gone but suddenly we are truly into Autumn and the leaves are falling from the trees, the mist plays across the valley and our guests are donning coats and wellies to tramp across the beautiful Devon and Cornwall countryside………………..agh I sound all mystical and whimsical, woof, Ruben here!

Hello everyone hope you are all well and have enjoyed a fab Half Term holiday? We were full gain with lots of guests staying in our family friendly cottages and as ever everyone seemed to have a nice time and they all theatened to come back!

My owners actually went away too ‘cos Sarah their eldest daughter was 21, so congratulations to her – how grown up is she now?

Blake is growing up and settling down a bit more – he still pesters me quite a bit but he means no harm and just wants to play – I am fine and looking forward to all those log fires starting, trouble is it’s still not cold and the air temperature is still mild, so still time for you to pop on down and enjoy the great outdoors before the winter really kicks in – do look at our Special Offer page theres a great offer for November……………….

Righto better go and check out whats happening outside again…….

Good Morning Campers!

We have been enjoying some fine weather here at our holiday cottages in Devon and Cornwall and our guests seem to be having a great time. Mostly they have been enjoying the fab surfing on the beautiful nearby beaches of Bude, Widemouth & Northcott Mouth as the sea conditions have been almost perfect with gentle but challenging waves to ride (gosh I sound like I know what I am talking about!)

The smaller children have been enjoying days out at the Hidden Valley and the charming Tamar Otter Sanctuary too.

Blake and I have both been to the vets this week – I have had a little operation on my side to remove some lumps that Penny found – thankfully they are benign and nothing much to worry about, I am now sporting a big blue shaved patch on my side so don’t worry if I look odd when you see me – I am OK!!

Blake has had a little cough (going for the sympathy vote I feel) probably because he has been chewing our gate and got a splinter in his throat, silly puppy, anyway he’s  OK too, so all good here……………………..he did manage a trip to the beach yesterday and is apparently a real wuss in the sea – not a proper dog like me who can bodysurf!

Take care and keep on reading…………….Ruben Woof x

Hello Friends

Apparently my blog is gathering followers, so thank you and I’ll try & keep them coming…..

We have been having lots of friends to stay at our dog friendly holiday cottages which has been wonderful. Marley came at the beginning of the month which was fab as he took the pressure off me from Blake – he certainly got a run for his money that week!!

The hadsome three boys! Can you spot who is who?

Another black lab came to stay with A&M at the weekend called Charlie and he is the same age as Blake so not one but two pesky puppies – we did have a wonderful walk on the beach though and they did finally wear themselves out! The owners appeared to enjoy themselves too…………..Charlie was a little naughty and ate all the lovely roast pork and then helped himself to a chocolate for pudding too!

And this week our old friend Codi is back and he is playing well with Blake too, which means I can concentrate on lying in the sun enjoying the lovely gardens my owners have thoughtfully provided!!

So off now to have a wander and check out who else is about on this sunny & hot, yes hot morning!!!

Ruben out woof:)xx

Well hello again – my owners have been delighted to find this comment left yesterday by guests staying here…………..

“It could be said that Glebe House is a place of great wonder – to simply state that it does in fact have the desired facilities and a clean & presentable interior would be an insult. It is far more in its importance to the people who have put such care & thought into every detail. I say thank you for a wonderful environment to both relax and ponder potential activity in. If someone were to ask where they would find a place to spend time whether on the Cornish border or not, Glebe House Cottages would be the first place to enter my mind!”

Wow what an accolade to receive, no wonder they are thrilled!!

Life here continues along with sunshine and a few showers but more sunshine is on its way hooray! Blake and I have been having to find shady places to lie in our lovely rural location but he does always seem to want to sit on my head! I do get a bit fed up, but he is still only young it is his 1st Birthday tomorrow so Happy Birthday Blake!

Woof woof from Ruben xXx

Blake here – thought I might try this blogging lark, so to introduce myself, I am a handsome 11 month black labrador dog living at the rather charming Glebe House Cottages which are large luxury holiday cottages in Devon but on the border of Cornwall. I live here with my distant relative Ruben ( who is getting on a bit but still keeps me on my toes) and my owners Alison & Michael.

We have lots of guests to stay in the cottages who use us to do many things including using us for their self catering holidays, visiting relatives or even celebrating their wedding here! Just last week we had a lovely  group of family & friends stay and they had their wedding in Bude and then came back here to enjoy a lovely afternoon & evening in the gardens – the food was yummy and the cake very pretty…….This week we are very full with families enjoying May Half Term week and the sun is starting to shine too so hopefully they willbe able to get down to the beach.

Righto off to bother Ruben again! Woof woof Blake out xxxxx
