Do I want to show people, proudly, all the works we've done on Well House Manor and how it's now such a different place? Of course I do. But at the same time I don't want to discourage visitors who happen upon our web site and see the old rather than the new.

So ... for those of you who are interested, we've put up a page of before AND after pictures - or rather a site of three pages. Start here with external picture and click through "add more pictures" until you end up here with internal, externals, before and afters!


These two pictures, samples from our 'renovation' site, are both taken of the room now known as bedroom 5. Dated decor, worn out plumbing, lighting and fixtures, fittings and electric has all been replaced by a quality modern look, and we're proud to have turned a B&B that was getting mixed reviews into a hotel that's already attracting return guests within the first weeks of opening.


Until 31st December, we're offering rooms at Well House Manor at 60 pounds a night (single occupancy) and 80 pounds (double occupancy) to include a continental breakfast. link - details. These are 'silly cheap' prices as we're in our settling in period and there are a few final touches to be added yet. We're also - until the end of the year - marketing only to our course delegates although we'll accept other general bookings too if you would care to get in touch. The main web site is in embryonic form at the moment .... but there'll be a booking system, room tours and more up there by the new year.
