We've been busy at weekends at Well House Manor this summer - a notable increase in business, and this weekend we have returning guests once again, which is always a good sign. But we're conscious that, as autumn comes, fewer people will be coming to the area for holidays and weddings and we should be shouting loud and long about some of the fantastic things that are going on that make us a year round destination. And to encourage
you to come and stay, we're offering a Winter and Christmas special - stay for two or more nights including a night outside the working week and we'll offer you - well - here's the
Special Deal Link!
So what things ARE going on?
The bus right outside Well House Manor takes you into Bath (don't bother with the Park and Ride - use US as the Park and Ride!). There's the
Bath Christmas Market - this year from 26th November to 6th December inclusive - with a wide variety of stalls from presents to food and drink, all in the grounds of Bath Abbey.
Also in Bath, why not go and watch
Bath Rugby? The ground is just across the river from the City Centre - so you can watch a fixture, shop, do some sightseeing ... stop for a meal and drink afterwards, and come back on the mid evening or the late bus!
Right through December,
Melksham's Christmas lights are perhaps one of the best display's you'll see anywhere - and that's less than half a mile from Well House Manor.
Father Christmas comes to Melksham too - this December, I understand he'll be in the town on Sunday, 6th December - travelling on the 17:15 train to Swindon and returning for 19:00. If you've got grandchildren in Melksham, why not stay with us that weekend and take them for a treat - to meet Santa - on Sunday evening?
Salisbury, Bath, Devizes, Lacock. Marlborough, Malmesbury and Melksham itself. Stonehenge and Avebury. There's plenty so see at each of these places - you'll find they're rewarding out of season - a chance to wander alone through the stones at Avebury, to eat in the "Red Lion" in Lacock when the friendly local atmosphere has come back, to visit the Abbey in Bath and the Cathedral in Salisbury.
We've got just five rooms - "probably the best hotel rooms in Melksham" according to some of our regulars - and we look forward to welcoming you this winter, whether you're here for one of the special events we've listed above, or for your own special break. Book online
here (enter the coupon code "Weekend") if you'll be with us for two nights over a weekend or Christmas and want the special rate!), see our hotel web site
here, or call us on 01225 709638 or 0800 043 8225, or email info@wellho.net.
