In an ideal world, business at
Well House Manor would be evenly spread through the day ... but it doesn't always work out that way. This morning, we were serving breakfast for two dozen in "The Wilts", for our hotel guests - NOT part of the two dozen - in "The Whitworth" - and we had a small group arriving for a catered meeting in "The Berks" from 9 O'clock.
Fortunately, we have plenty of parking and we designed our layout to allow people to park on the grass

from time to time - and this is what happened this morning. I counted some 26 cars, with space for another half dozen too.
Some of the "rules" we have applied to our parking:
a) There should be off-road parking for ALL visitors. We do not want people to park in neighbouring streets.
b) Cars should be able to park and leave in any order - no blocking in
c) No mud bath to get to your car
d) Staff cars are to be parked in the worst spaces - not the best ones right by the entrance!
