It’s a step back in time you won’t want to miss. Guided tours of the full size replica of Anne Hathaway’s Thatched Cottage are no longer available. You can, however, stroll the Authentic English Village, visit the Olde Curiosity Shop for gifts, partake of food and refreshment in the restaurant or pub, in the Olde England Inn, where the cottage is located. It’s all set on 5 acres of beautiful gardens, just 10 minutes from downtown. One way to see the interior of the cottage is to book it for a special function.

Most memorable

It has been a true pleasure to be the first guests in the newly expanded quarters of Birds of a Feather. Relaxing does not come easily to us, both with demanding jobs, but in a matter of 24 hours we have evolved in to a couple of lethargic slugs. The view, the ambience, the hospitality have melded to make our stay most memorable.

Tall Ships in the local News

Good, clean, cannon battle fun

Watch the Lady Washington, the Lynx and Hawaiian Chieftain shoot it out nightly in cannon battles off Brotchie Ledge along Dallas Road at the Tall Ships Festival later this month.

But don’t go expecting to see a live version of what Hollywood puts on the big screen, Lady Washington’s captain Les Bolton says.

There’ll be no gaping holes in the hulls from cannon balls, downed masts, flaming decks and crew swinging aboard the losing ship. That’s strictly Hollywood and far removed from early sea battles.
