Well House Manor and Beechfield House, Hotels, Melksham
"We've gone from a flood to a famine of good accommodation in Melksham" - so we've been saying for the last year or two ... to the extent that we opened Well House Manor as our training centre and business hotel accommodation in October. We're already getting returning / regular Hotel guests, usually requesting "the same room I had last time".
So it's with some trepidation I noticed that Beechfield House, just under 4km from us and a long-established country house hotel, is under new ownership and undergoing development; not a surprise as Beechfield was an option we looked at. But after giving it thought, I think this is good news for the area and will have only marginal effect on our business; our course guests rarely chose Beechfield in the past even though it was included on our lists on an equal footing, siting pricing and location as deciding factors. Looking at the "new", it'll be great to have a really posh local hotel offering formal dining, beauty treatments, swimming pool, four poster beds, celebration party hosting, and even weddings.
We wish the new team at Beechfield all the best in their venture, and hope to be able to mutually refer enquirers where appropriate in the future.
