The Fairmile Guest House

We arrived early at the Fairmile
We’re welcomed by Jason’s warm smile
He made a pot of tea
For my hubby and me
I’m happy we’re staying a while!

Our bedroom was spotlessly clean
And as for the breakfast cuisine
The huge choice was amazing
(Overnight oats I’m praising)
We feasted like a King and Queen!

The pre–order system is great
It ensured the food on our plate
Was ready on time
And it tasted divine
One downside I’ve put on some weight!!!!

For treats you need not travel far
The lounge has an honesty bar
Drinks and tasty snacks
Like yummy flapjacks
This guesthouse should rank a four star!

Hosts Jason and wife Melanie
In tandem, they work seamlessly
I can truly attest
They look after each guest
Shame Fairmile’s not closer to me!

There’s plenty more that I could say
But sadly I’ve not got all day
If it’s in your plans
To visit St Anne’s
The Fairmile’s the best place to stay!

John Read Date: 10/7/2024 9:29:00 AM I would love to visit that bar, but it's just a little too far, I'm in the UK, many miles away, and it's to far to travel by car.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 10/7/2024 8:54:00 AM Dear Jan, What a great poem singing the praise of this most amazing place. My wife and I just got back from a bed and breakfast in Naples, Florida, and it was also outstanding and clean. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/7/2024 9:18:00 AM I'm so glad you also had a wonderful break Daniel, I have never felt compelled to write a poem like this but the guest house and hosts were top notch and deserved a little poem from me:-) hugs Jan xx

Hilda Greenhough Date: 10/6/2024 5:31:00 PM Amazing when a travel produces a poem. You've piqued my interest. I am wondering where this place is. It's nicely penned. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 10:41:00 PM It's in a place called St Anne's which is not far from Blackpool which you may have heard of as it is famous for it's tower:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/6/2024 4:45:00 PM A place I will never get to visit but you really brought it to life. I don't know who Jason is. But I think you should send this poem to the owners of this place! Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 10:39:00 PM Jason and Melanie run the Fairmile, I sent them a copy of the poem and jason put it on their FB page - he described me as a 'celebrated poet' in his comments and also posted a link to my book which was so kind of him:-) hugs jan xx

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/6/2024 1:05:00 PM Sounds like a ideal place to stay Jan. Bet they'd love this one in a frame to hang proudly on their wall. Tom Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 1:13:00 PM ooh I will suggest that to Jason, thanks for the idea Tom! If you ever want to Blackpool to see the illuminations this is a fab place to stay:-) We cant wait to go back:-) xx

Tania Kitchin Date: 10/6/2024 12:56:00 PM Jan, a lovely adventure. I enjoyed your "100 percent human written" limerick collection. Hugs Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 1:00:00 PM Thanks Tania, after all the recent BS about AI I had to put that lol, :-) hugs Jan xx

Beryl Edmonds Date: 10/6/2024 12:45:00 PM Sounds like a great place to stay for a holiday Jan, one day I hope to visit the Isle of Man… Beryl Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 12:55:00 PM I can't recommend it highly enough Beryl, we used it as a base to go by trams/ bus to Blackpool, Lytham, fleetwood. we even did some swing dancing at the Blackpool tower. would love to meet you Beryl! hugs jan xx

Lin Lane Date: 10/6/2024 12:42:00 PM lol Jan. I know you're being humorous with the announcement that it was 100% written by your hand. I won't do that and if anyone believes I would use AI, they can stop reading me just like many have stopped reading blogs about AI... even the one in which no one is allowed to contradict the blogger. The opinion of that one doesn't allow anyone else to have one, although that person readily takes part in every other blog. I recall you telling me about the lovely Inn... glad you wrote about it. Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 10/6/2024 1:06:00 PM hugs, and thanks again, chick. Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 1:00:00 PM Thanks Lin, I must get back to the book work, spent too much time here today lol:-) so glad you got POTW! hugs Jan xx Lin Lane Date: 10/6/2024 12:56:00 PM Of course it was tongue in cheek. Levity seems to be needed around here lately. Who better to offer it than you? Jan Allison Date: 10/6/2024 12:53:00 PM It was a somewhat tongue in cheek comment Lin lol, the guest house was so amazing i had to do a tribute, it started off as one verse and grew and grew, only took about 8 mins to write from start to finish! hugs jan xx
