Spring has arrived at Mornacott
The sun is shining, the lambs are bleating, spring is in the air here at Mornacott. We have been busily spring cleaning our cottages, ready to welcome old and new friends alike. Not only have we seen this year’s crop of new lambs, we are delighted to welcome a new member to our team with Grant and Megan’s new baby daughter, Olivia, being born on 4th February. Let’s hope the rest of the year continues as well as it has started!

All over again for another season!

Christmas has arrived at Mornacott.
Today saw the annual plucking of our Mornacott Christmas turkeys. This year our bronze turkeys have been lovingly reared along side our Ruby Red Devon Cattle. Over the summer the turkeys and cattle have shared many happy hours enjoying the Devon sunshine so we hope this will be reflected in their flavour.
The team here at Mornacott all take part in the plucking of the turkeys and take one home each for christmas lunch.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope your turkeys are as tasty as ours.

Big hit with the big guns. Last Tuesday brought another shooting party to Mornacott who were keen to try a slightly bigger calibre of gun on the pheasants and partridges. Sadly, not least because it’s inert, they were unable to use our 30mm anti-aircraft gun.

Undeterred, the party, which comprised no fewer than six different nationalities, went on to shoot very well finishing the day with a very creditable bag and, through their generosity, raising well over £500.00 in “fines” for our chosen charities – The Soldiers’ Charity (Army Benevolent Fund) and the Royal Marines Charity.

YouTube Cottage videos
Several months ago we arranged to have 3D photovideo tours of our cottages taken and put on our website.

Now with thanks to ACT studios and Cheltenham College we’ve uploaded these to our Youtube page.
Really useful for both seeing the layout and facilities available they can be seen here…..

And for the really high ones we recommend...
Shooting at Mornacott has got off to a cracking start this season with our first few days having been enjoyed by all.
Several of the guns have been trying their hand at our new high bird gun which sits aside the stone bench that has always proved a popular venue for elevenses during early season partridge days.
We haven’t been able to use this rather large 30mm gun as, sadly, it’s deactivated but with a designed rate of fire of approaching 500 rounds per minute and our average shot to kill ratio 5:1, we might end up having very short shoot days.
