Home Page - Inside & Out Hospitality at Fulready Reservations & Directions

We are both involved with The Farmers Bloodhounds who "hunt the clean boot" i.e. we chase a man instead of animals! In the past we have organised a pre-season ball in aid of the Bloodhounds, a friend of ours stayed then wrote us this "thank you" note!

Ode to Fulready
Mike, Mauveen the dogs and all
Lived in a Manor, or was it a "hall"
Most certainly astonishing,
Mike said they'd been promising
Themselves a dream
Boy, what a team !
The rooms all had character
And a great view
Mauveen & Verity had style so true
They painted, designed and furnished each suite
The finished result was a glorious treat
The turret, the lake, the gardens, the land
Nothing was ordinary, boring or bland
What a result, a credit to you all
Stand up, take a bow,
Let's go to the ball......
We rushed into town
Dressed up in our gowns
Arrived just in time
To greet guests so fine
Hundreds gushed forth
Hard to recognise off a horse
They ate, drank and jived
Some got drunk but all survived
Back to Fulready Manor
Away from the music, friends and glamour
To sleep in a four posted bed
Like an angel or so it was said
After breakfast, I left
Felt somewhat bereft
Had a great time
Which inspired this rhyme
We'll do it again
Same time next year
So until then
Here's to you, my hunting friends , dear

    AA Inspectors Comment: "This is a delightful establishment. Michael and Mauveen Spencer have created a unique Manor House...... Bedrooms are furnished with style and flair & thoughtful extras ensuring a amemorable nights sleep...... the elegant Dining Room was the setting for a memorable breakfast. Services and hospitality exceeded expectations making one feel like an honoured guest rather than a paying customer."
