Gnome Mad at The Malthouse!

We love being outside, so we spend lots of time working in the garden at our B&B. This year we seem to have gone gnome mad! Everywhere we look there are garden gnomes! Thought you might like to see a few pics of the cheeky fellows.

The gnomes have even managed to put in an appearance on our wheelie bin!

You don't need to have a sense of humour to stay at The Malthouse but it helps!

Need a break? Telephone us on 01538 703273 to check bed & breakfast availability.
