Did someone say cream tea?

A short chat with our lovely resident, Joan Sherwood who also runs the clubhouse and the cosy café-shop on our most popular residential park – the Saltmarshe Castle Residential Park.

What made you choose Saltmarshe Castle Park?

I have lived in the Herefordshire since about 1990 with my husband and we just love the area and the park. The park has some amazing views and the location is excellent as well.

You run the clubhouse and shop/café in the park, what made you do that?

Well I realised I had a lot of spare time on my hands and I decided to start off with a small shop-café for the local park residents. Another reason was that it was a big park and I knew that if I ran my shop well, the residents would be more than happy to visit the shop for their daily needs.

And also there was this idea at the back of my mind that it would be really nice to have a place which could become the focal hub for the whole Saltmarshe community. Our Clubhouse/Café holds special events like Psychic evenings, Valentines party, various art & craft workshops and a monthly flower-decoration workshop. I must say that the events are very popular and we get amazing participation from the entire park community.

How is life in the park?

Life has been great, I never imagined running a clubhouse/café-shop but here I am and enjoying every moment of it. I love that everyone on the park are so caring and loving.

You won’t believe it, but I recently went on holiday and before going I had mentioned to a few friends around the park that I wanted to re-decorate the shop/café. You won’t believe it, when I came back – my lovely friends had re-decorated it completely!

Since I had lived on a caravan near the park, I had experienced the whole community aspect of it. So when we transitioned into a lovely Park Home, it was a very natural and also a very good decision. The homes are cosy and modern and extremely easy to clean and look after which is a blessing!

Anything else you would like to share with people who are thinking about park homes?

Well, I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It is a very good decision that we made and I am so glad that we made it.

I would invite anyone who is thinking about the move to come over for a cream tea and have a chat with us! And some of my home-baked bread pudding which is an absolute bestseller 🙂
