Homelands Bed and Breakfast

Proprietors Erik and Nikki Burger have previously owned and operated several small restaurants and hotels in the Cotswold area since the mid 1980’s and opened “Homelands” b&b in April 2010.

The concept of Homelands is:

• Comfortable and well-appointed en-suite bedrooms with
  luxurious accessories.
• Up-to-date technology such as free Wi-Fi access and flat-screen
  HD multi-channel FreeSat TV.
• Breakfast that is top-of-the range in choice, quality, provenance and
  responsibility to the environment and to our local suppliers.
• A home/business with “green” credentials such as reducing energy
  use and food miles, and using environmentally friendly products.

Nikki is an expert gardener and lovingly looks after the free-range chickens. She is learning how to keep honey bees, the honey of which you find on the breakfast table when available, later in the Summer of 2011. She is also a keen supporter of Racing, and a member of the Cheltenham Race Course and the Elite Owners Club.

Erik is a keen cook and fan of “real” food- in particular home-baked bread, dry-cured bacon and very tasty sausages. His interest is in nature and conservation, and foraging wild food.

Apart from producing some of our own food, we placed nesting boxes for birds, owls, bats and hedge-hocks; started planting indigenous trees in our mini-woodland; and created a small wildlife pond.
