"When you're advertising your hotel, DON'T list out all the features such as the fact that all rooms are en-suite - people EXPECT that as standard these days" so came the recent advise from a marketing guru. He's probably right ... so I'm going to tell you today what's different about Well House Manor, and there IS plenty to tell you about.

Well House Manor is, without apology, a hotel for business travellers. Lisa and Graham Ellis, pictured either side of this text, have travelled a great deal on business, know what they need, and aim to provide it. They've also been running Well House Consultants - a business that welcomes many business visitors to Melksham each month - for a number of years, and have been listening to what their customers are looking for on top of the standard.


What's different at Well House Manor?

• All bedrooms have wired and wireless Internet access available without additional charge, and without bandwidth limits.

• A public access computer is available for use if you haven't brought your own laptop, and a monochrome laser network printer / copier is provided too.

• All bedrooms are equipped with large (26") flat screen TVs, with all freeview channels available. TVs have an SVGA adaptor fitted so that you can use the big screen on your laptop if you wish.

• As well as a hospitablity tray in each room, we provide a real coffee machine that's available for general use in the lounge, 24 hours a day. Press the button, and it grinds the beans ...

• Early breakfast is available - even at the weekend. If you need to catch the first train to London, we'll even offer you a complimentary lift to the station. We know how a full cooked breakfast is often too much for the businessman, so we've opted to provide a high quality continental breakfast instead.

• All bedrooms are provided with an empty mini-fridge and a laptop computer safe for you use during your stay.

• We ENCOURAGE our guests to eat out in Melksham in the evening, or to bring their own food in if they prefer from one of the many takeaways. A microwave over, knives and forks, plates and glasses are all provided for your use in our "Whitworth" dining room.

• Well House Manor is set in 3/4 acre of secluded grounds - it's intended to be a quiet "office away from the office" and "home from home" for our visitors. To help ensure a quiet environment we do not provide a bar, but you are very welcome to bring in your own drinks from the offlicense that's just 3 doors up the road.

• We include all the faciities we've listed in our room rate - there's no extras for this and extras for that, which means that you can pay on arrival and simply drop off your keycard when you leave.

If you like what you read and you want to stay, please email us (graham@wellho.net or lisa@wellho.net) or call us on 01225 709638. We're offering rooms at an introductory 60 pounds per night from our imminent opening through to the end of the year. On line booking will be available from January 2007.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
