Who are our hotel customers at Well House Manor? We have several distinct groups, and the question comes "how do we arrange our advertising to suit them all?" ... we really don't want guests who are visiting Melksham to attend a wedding at the weekend or meet up with family to be put of by our "business hotel" approach, nor do we want our business guests to think that we're just a leisure destination.
The
Melksham Independent News is a well read local paper - distributed to many thousands of homes, and our advert in there (at least) can clearly tell the leisure visitors what we offer ... thus the advert above.
We're delighted to welcome people touring the area, coming to weddings in Wiltshire, visiting their relatives in town - there's absolutely no requirement for them to have any association with a local company. If you're looking for a quiet place, slightly luxurious rooms, freedom to come and go as you please without the feeling that you're putting the landlord out as you come back after midnight ...
we may be the place for you. If you're looking for somewhere you can retreat away from the hub-bub of kids (we have a minimum guest age of 14) and perhaps have a 'second honeymoon' ...
we may be the place for you. And if you don't usually sleep well when you're away from home - you want a soft bed, a spacious shower, and a library of books and DVDs ...
we may be the place for you.
