Well House Manor - Open at Christmas
Well House Manor in Melksham will be open as usual over the Christmas and New Year period. It's in a quiet location just five minute walk from the town centre, and ideal for you if you're visiting family in Melksham or West Wiltshire, but don't want to overcrowd their home.
All rooms are en suite, all rooms feature a 26" TV with over 50 channels available, and we include unlimited internet access and continental breakfast in our room rate of £80.00 (single occupancy) and £95.00 (double occupancy). All rooms have double or twin beds - no squashed singles here!
Behind the scenes
We're primarily a business hotel, and although we only opened for general hotel guests earlier this year, we're already sometimes full during the week. At weekends and holidays, we've started to build up a customer base of people who visit friends and relatives in the town, and are looking for a quiet and slightly luxurious setting in which to stay rather than cramming "in with the kids". I'm delighted to report a growing repeat business - people voting with their feet, saying "this is the place in Melksham that I want to stay".
We had a choice for our first full Christmas - to close for the period and take a break ourselves, to lay on something special and charge a higher price for it, to discount our rooms and look to fill the place from Christmas Eve right through to the new year, or to continue offering the quiet, relaxed, no fuss service that has been growing at weekends. And that's what we have decided to do. If you have stayed with us during the year, or if you feel this is what you're looking for, please let us know and we can book a room or rooms for you. Email to Lisa.Ellis@wellho.net, or phone us on 01225 709638, or via our freephone number, which is 0800 043 8225. The Hotel's web site is at www.wellhousemanor.co.uk
