I'm happy to announce the release of our
online booking system for rooms at
Well House Manor - the hotel that we run alongside our training centre, catering also for other visitors to the area of West Wiltshire and Bath who are looking for larger, superior rooms, unlimited internet access, large screen TVs, etc, in a quiet environment close to the town centre.
Since we actually
teach the technology, we have written and are running our own booking system that's designed to suite the needs of our guests - and we've reduced the inputs you'll need to make to just three easy pages.
1. How many rooms do you want to book, for how many nights
2. Guest details, including preferences for twin or double, bath or shower, and estimated arrival time
3. Credit or debit card details and contact address, phone number and email to confirm booking.
And when you've completed the third form, the system will email you back to let you know you're in the system, and our internal availability pages will change to reflect your booking too. As easy as that.
Of course - it's designed to be easy for
you. WE have had to put a lot of thought into it, making it both friendly, secure, and easy for the newcomer to our site to use.

A straightforward front page asking for key data (dates and numbers of rooms) so that we can quickly confirm availability and prices.

A logical set of options, allowing our guests to let us who they are, when they'll be arriving, and any other notes they want to add.

And finally the page on which we collect card details to guarantee the booking (we don't take payment until the guest is with us). We also confirm the cancellation policy on this page, as ask for acceptance of our
hotel terms and conditions which are written in plain English and come up in a separate window!
