The Lodge - Part two

Hello again and welcome to issue 2 of the langeberger, the ongoing saga of life at the Lodge. Today's posting continues to describe facilities and services available at the Lodge and aims to add a bit of human interest too.

Let's start with the accommodation for guests: we have 3 double rooms with king-size beds; 2 double rooms with twin beds, and a 'family' room with a king-size bed and 2 full size single beds.

All rooms are ensuite and have:

• tiled floors
• rugs
• reeded ceilings and wooden beams
• ceiling fan
• tea and coffee making facilities
• coffee table
• hairdryer
• TV and DVD player
• easy chair(s)
• dressing table (doubles as computer workstation)
• original artwork
• percale bed linen

Our bathrooms are spacious, light and airy, with:

• stylish basins and taps
• walk-in showers
• Egyptian cotton bath sheets and hand towels
• robe hooks
• duck boards
• terry cotton bath mats
• face cloths
• various soaps, gels and shampoos

The 'family' room has both bath and shower.

We make a promise to guests that: 'your room will be comfortable and spotlessly clean', and we (I should really say Joy) makes it her business that this standard is maintained. Appreciative comments in our Guest Book bear this out many times over.

Before I sign off I would like to give credit to friends and family who have helped with the project; they are:

Steve, my old mate from university days way back when: we made the headboards for the beds together.

Peter, an old school friend with whom I re-established contact via the Internet: we made the coffee tables together.

Richard, my brother, who helped me out with the building work when the going got tough.

Many thanks to you all: there will always be a welcome for you at the Lodge (not to mention a few jobs to be done!)

Well, that's about it for now.

Adios amigos,

Chris
