The Composer spent last weekend doing what we all do – changing the clocks. With 4 properties, and numerous devices in each requiring attention, it was a herculean task. Bernstein offered a glimmer of hope. The kitchen clock is digital and controlled automatically, so it changes without aid – as does the outside Courtyard clock.…

The Composer and Mrs C are truly S & S – Sanitised and Satisfied.   How else can we describe the 28 days since the previous blog? Come to a Composer property and you could eat your dinner (or any other meal or snack!) off the floor, the walls, the bathroom tiles and even the…

As August ends, The Composer, Mrs C and the staff say a massive THANK YOU to all our Guests! Thanks for staying with us, thanks for enjoying Northumberland, thanks for visiting our local attractions and tourist destinations and for being UTTERLY BRILLIANT! Let’s face it – the staycation holiday is the better way to avoid…

One day more (Les Mis!) Well, The Composer is merrily singing not just ‘one day more’ its now ‘one MONTH more’. Of course, he’s singing it in his head as he can’t sing out loud!!  Yes, 28 days have elapsed since Composers at Woodlands came out of lockdown and welcomed Guests once more.  And what…

Well, by the time you read this, The Composer & Mrs C will either be ready or will have flung wide the gates to welcome guests back to Composers at Woodlands, the overture to a new start and a welcome return to business. So this post, written on the final days of June, follows the…

How could The Composer forget to pen the Blog? Due at the end of each month, the blog connects the business with past, present (sorry, there are none!!) and future guests. Past guests reflect on holidays gone, future guests dream of where they are coming to and present guests – and we all know why…

It’s not often The Composer feels so isolated and it hardly feels like the time to write a Blog, but it’s a connection with the world beyond the gates of ‘Composers at Woodlands’ and one we will maintain. Our little universe is changing before our eyes and many of us (for a variety of reasons)…

The Composer is reflective.  Taking a slighty adapted version of the opening words of ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, “It was the best of months, it was the worst of months”………….so reflecting on February provided the ‘best and worst’.  As you may recall, from the January Blog, The Composer and Mrs C spent January in…

The truth and the reality! The Composer has spent the last weeks and months listening to and watching many programmes – just like everyone else!  No need to mention what the subject was, so – as this is a Blog about life in a small corner of the UK – modesty prevents mentioning it again. …
