Alton Towers Theme Park 2018 Season Starts Soon

Not long to go now until Alton Towers Theme Park opens.
On Saturday 17th March 2018 (in just 10 days time) the Staffordshire theme park will open
and we can't wait!
                               

New for 2018 is the Wicker Man rollercoaster.  The ride is the first wooden coaster to be built in the UK for over 20 years.

Visit Alton Towers in and experience Wicker Man if you're brave enough! 

February Already!

Where does the time go? 

It's February already, we can't believe it!

Like most areas of the UK we are experiencing cold weather in Alton at the moment and it seems set to continue for a while.

On Saturday we took the photo below of our orchard and the valley beyond, very pretty.

It was great to be outside and get some fresh air but it was cold and started to snow so, we weren't long before we went back inside for a warm.

Roll on the Spring and hopefully some better weather!

Happy New Year!

Best wishes to all our guests, family and friends for a very happy and healthy 2018 from everyone at The Malthouse.

We took this photo of the opposite side of the valley a few days ago while we were out in the garden.
A very pretty picture we thought, hope you agree. X

Love was in the Air this Weekend in Alton!

We love a bit of romance so, we were delighted to discover that a couple of our guests had got engaged during their stay with us.

Here are the happy pair showing off their beautifully engagement ring. 

Congratulations to this lovely couple from everyone at The Malthouse.

Hope it's not long before they set a date, we love wedding cake!

Poppy and Smudge Enjoy Some Sunshine

Thought we'd share a couple of photos that we took this week of Poppy and Smudge
Both our pets are pretty laid back but our cat Smudge looks totally chilled out!

Alton has seen quite a bit of rain today.
We're hoping that the sun comes back out to play soon!
