Greetings from Gordon and Jean at Fort
Hill Bed and Breakfast,
Gordon and I are wishing you all a
Happy Spring. It is time for us to start
“gearing”up for the arrival of our B+B guests, trying new
recipes, washing windows and spring cleaning the house and yard! We
want everything to be perfect for you, our best guests!
We want to let you know of the
improvements we have made in the Nantucket cottage to make that
popular, cozy space even nicer for a 3-6 night stay, or for a weekly
stay this summer either as a B+B accommodation or as a self-catering
Guest House accommodation. Some of you already have made your
reservations and we want you to be aware of the improvements before
you arrive. If you have not made a reservation yet, we hope that Fort
Hill B+B will be in your vacation plans this year if you are able to
sneak away to Cape Cod!
*The cottage is now air
conditioned with the installation of 2 powerful, whisper
quiet, ductless units installed in the bedroom and the living room.
Each indoor unit has its own thermostat and operate so efficiently
and quietly that you will never want to leave! We hope these
additions will make your stay in the cottage during the increasingly
hot, humid summers more comfortable.
*The Kitchen can now live up to its
name as a place to prepare an entire meal....not just breakfast or a
snack! Once the weather breaks I will be planting some herbs by the
cottage door so you can help yourself! And of course, the organic
veggie garden is aways just a few steps away.
*New for 2016 is the addition of a
butcher block island with an
induction
burner and
pots and pans....perfect
for boiling, sauteing and simmering! The pull up table under the
windows has been outfitted with
stools
for dining. Or, the table in the living room and the outdoor table
give a couple of other options for sitting down to an eat-in meal.
*In addition to the existing microwave
drip coffee maker and refrigerator, the kitchen now also boasts a
c
onvection toaster-oven and
Keurig
coffee maker. We will provide a few starter
k-cups
with a variety of flavored coffees for the Keurig and encourage
guests to use the r
efillable single cup holder
with their own favorite coffee.
If there is anything else you can think
of that would make your stay in the cottage more comfortable we would
love to know. In the meantime, we will be posting pictures on our
Facebook page which you should all be able to access.
Stay well. We hope to see you soon!
