Brownsea Island

With fantastic weather this week why not come down and enjoy Brownsea Island. A ferry from either Sandbanks or Poole takes you across to this car free island. Looked after by The National Trust, it is tranquil, beautiful and gives a rare chance of seeing the Red Squirrel. Shy little squirrels hide in the treetops and watch us unsuspecting humans trying to see them.   The island is ideal for a day out exploring, take a pic nic and enjoy.There is also a lovely cafe and retail shop to visit. Stay over at The Rosscourt, see our website for special rates or give us a call 01202 397537 http://www.rosscourthotel.co.uk  Enjoy

Beaulieu Motor Museum from Rosscourt Bed and Beakfast

Spent a great afternoon in Beaulieu, visited the Motor Museum. This is at least a 4 hour trip. You have a massive array of cars through the ages, including motorbikes, formula one cars and old buses. There is an exhibition showing the Top Gear antics and a chance to ride a simulator and also to take part in a show at the site. The house is fabulous and often has events on, the next one being Easter. There is a monorail that takes you around the site and a vintage bus to ride. The Abbey is impressive. The grounds are beautiful. All in all a worthwhile day out. 45 minutes by car from Rosscourt in Bournemouth ,through the stunning New Forest scenery, we saw large numbers of ponies grazing .

Tank Museum and Monkey World

Lucky for us at Rosscourt we are only 40 minutes drive to Monkey World and the Tank Museum . These two attractions are charities and have both proved popular days out for us and our guests over the 15 years we have been here.

The Tank Museum this year has a Warhorse exhibition opening at the end of the month which is fabulous having had a sneak preview. You can also enjoy a lunch / refreshments and there is so much to see.

Monkey World have been around along time rescuing monkeys from all over the world. It is fun to walk around the massive site . Most especially if there are babies from their breeding programme, the nursery can leave you standing watching for hours. Again there is a cafe on site for refreshments. Adopt a monkey and get a lifetime free entrance to the site.

What is happening at Rosscourt bed and breakfast

Mr Rusty Rabbit has been out in the garden in his run. Unfortunately the fence, in the property behind us ,fell down in the storms. The management company were supposed to finish it last Friday but didn’t. Mr Rusty was very upset as Peter and had promised to let him have the run of the garden again but alas he has to wait.

Peter managed to mow the lawn today after picking up his new Ducati motorbike, he had to do something useful round the b and b as I drove him to Winchester from Bournemouth and then I came back on my own after having my painful dry socket from my tooth extraction packed. He did feel a little gulity

Finished all the decorating now so we look spick and span for opening in April. Look forward to seeing you

Great Day for walking

National Trust, Langton Matraves, Swanage BH19  have a 4 mile Coastal walk along Dancing Ledge and Scratch Arse Ware (yes that is the name of the area!!)    1.5 hours approximately with moderate gradient. Uneven and steep terrain with stiles and gates. Lots of cliff edges to be aware of . Sturdy shoes or boots are advised. Things to see Sycamore Tree may have been used as a hangmans tree. Scratch Arse Ware , the meaning behind the first part of this name is unclear although land for rough grazing is normally known as Ware . Limestone grassland here is managed for conservation without using fertilizers or chemicals. This allows a variety of wild flowers and gorse to grow ensuring plentiful supply of food for insects and wildlife.

Stay at Rosscourt Guest House BH5 1EL 01202 397537, drive across on the chain ferry from Sandbanks to The Purbecks and take the road through to Swanage. Pop onto Studland Bay before heading off another National Trust area.
