Our stay at Well Cottage, Beckington

Review Submitted: November 24, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
From the moment we arrived we just knew we were going to have a wonderful holiday. The cottage was everything we could have wished for, and Jan had provided us with everything we needed, plus those little extras we were not expecting! Loved the ‘walled garden’ and surprisingly (after all, it was October) we had lovely sunny weather and no rain! So breakfast outside was the order of the day. Not far to walk to the garage/shop for papers and supplies (or took the car), and that was open 24 hours! What struck us too was how quiet and peaceful Beckington was. An ideal village, with a bypass to take all that heavy traffic away, yet only a short drive from several major towns. There was a lovely delicatessen/tea rooms a few yards away in the village, and a couple of pubs too. We like ‘chef cooked food’, and we found an abundance of restaurants both in Frome and Bradford-on-Avon, and numerous ‘gourmet pubs’ in the surrounding villages. There was plenty to do. A couple of Country Parks close by, with walks round lakes and in woods; and the canal not far away either. We even managed a boat trip on the canal. Very relaxing! And even managed a show at the Theatre in Frome. And then there was Bath with all its attractions right on our doorstep. So, lovely cottage, lovely countryside, and a quiet relaxing holiday!
Owner's Response: Wow..... what very kind words about Well Cottage and I am delighted that you enjoyed it so much. You certainly did so much during your stay and I think your review makes a very good advert. for the cottage, the village and the area as a whole! Many thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts and I very much hope we can welcome you again in the near future. Best wishes, Jan

A lovely, cosy home from home cottage.

Review Submitted: November 6, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
We spent the October half term in this beautiful cottage with our two young daughters. The moment we stepped in the door we felt relaxed, from the thoughtful welcome tray, to the ready set fire and, later that evening a courtesy call from the owner to check everything was ok. The cottage was beautifully decorated and contained everything we needed (and more!) It was ideally situated close to Longleat Safari Park, lots of National Trust properties, the beautiful towns of Frome and Bradford-on-Avon, and of course Bath itself. We would recommend this cottage to both family and friends and would definately consider visiting again! Thank you!

A lovely place to stay.

Review Submitted: November 1, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
We were much impressed by our stay at the cottage and would highly recommend it to anybody - provided you can climb stairs! The cottage had heaps of character, nice furnishings, lovely beds and a well equipped kitchen/meals area plus free wifi. We found it spotlessly clean and well maintained - great job Jan!! As a bonus, the village of Beckington turned out to be another surprise with lovely stone buildings, a very historic church (where we found a lovely local lady doing some cleaning) and one of the best pubs anywhere just a very short walk from Well Cottage. Put it on the list if you are visiting the Bath area.

Stunning

Review Submitted: September 10, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. Very comfortable living area and all top quality accesories (plates crockery towels etc) with lots of things like books and games to keep you amused if the weather is not great which in England, lets face it, it very rarely is. Well Cottage has lots of character and we will definitely be going back as it is ideally placed for a huge number of attractions within a short drive. The bottle of wine, loaf of bread milk and real butter (mmmmmm) were very much appreciated.

If there was one down side, and it really is a very small one as we have a 2 year old daughter, the stairs were a little steep and with no stair gate we had to watch her constantly while she was upstairs but that aside, it realy is a very welcoming cottage.

We cannot recommend it highly enough.
