DIARY & LINKS
November 2011: Well Criannan is now closed and we have said goodbye to our last guests until we re-open again, hopefully in late 2012 if everything goes according to plan. My husband and I are both retiring and aiming to spend more time in Wooler in years to come so we thought it was time to give the place a face-lift.
We have found a very helpful local architect who has patiently taken us through the process of drawing up plans and these are now with the local authority for approval - a big thank you to Michael Rathbone! We hope to start work in the new year, and we expect it to take several months.
Mostly, we want to improve the kitchen and dining arrangements so we plan to put an extension along the side of the house where the greenhouse currently stands, and break through into it from the current dining room. The current entrance porch, greenhouse and garage will all be demolished. The current small kitchen area will become an entrance area / utility room. At the far end of the new extension will be fold-back triple doors opening out onto a large area of decking, to make the most of the wonderful views!
We'll post updates on this page in the course of 2012 as this saga unfolds, so please check back here from time to time.
