Estancia La Margarita, Honeymooners and the M25 in London

Sophie having a go at milking cows 

When I was in the UK in August this year to see my family I read in a paper an article about the different sorts of locations chosen for honeymoons. I am not sure which was the favorite location but  for me the strangest was a couple who had chosen to spend their honeymoon  driving around the M25. Now everyone to their own I say but lets face  it anyone who has been trapped on the M25 (  the motorway that circles London )  in a monster traffic jam would certainly have the M25 as a location for their honeymoon pretty low on their list of that I am sure.   Now although La Margarita didn’t get a mention in the list of places chosen by honeymooners I am pleased to say we do get our fair share of guests who come to stay on the estancia who are on their honeymoon. The latest couple that was recently on La Margarita as part of their honeymoon was Toby and Sophie from London. They came and stayed on La Margarita for five nights and by what they wrote in our guest’s commentary book its looks as though they were happy with their choice. I can’t say if they had a better time than the couple who chose the M25 as their preference for a honeymoon location as I am not sure if the M25 has a guests comments book but below this blog here’s what Toby and Sophie wrote in our guests comments book. Its looks as they had a good time and lets face they could have chosen the M25  as an  option !! but  I am very happy they didn’t.

Here’s what Toby and Sophie wrote

“Mariana ,Susana, Ignacio,Isabella, Francisca and Inaki
