The Experience

The views stretch all the way to the Brecon Beacons on a clear day, but Bath is just five miles away and the park and ride a twenty-minute walk or five-minute car ride. You’ll feel happy when you walk in: all is light, bright and airy with rugs and a log burner to warm you on chilly evenings.

Cooks will be pleased with the niftily-equipped kitchen and a dresser filled with pretty china – step out for wonderful views from the balcony, eat out in the enclosed little courtyard. Sleep in a well-dressed bed unruffled by any noise; a warm bathroom has a big shower and thick towels. Friendly owner Jane, who lives down the road, is a keen and talented gardener – interested guests may arrange to visit her one and a half acres.

There are walks galore – 30 minutes to the pub, acres of woodland to explore and the Cotswold Way right on the doorstep but many guests just stay put.

Reviews

Helen, Horsham

We loved our stay at the Workshop, it was a very special find and a place we will definitely return to. I was won over instantly on arrival by the truly spectacular view and the Workshop was equally lovely. It’s such a comfortable, clean, cosy cottage, well equipped and really practical. Fabulous dog walking from the door. Access to Bath is simple and hassle free with the Park and Ride just down the road. It was so lovely to be able to effortlessly combine city visits with staying in such a tucked away, peaceful, fabulous location. Jane made us very welcome and her garden is simply amazing.

Just spent 5 nights at The Workshop, a very comfortable homely space perched on a hill with spectacular views over the countryside. Jane is a friendly hostess and we enjoyed a walk around her lovely garden. The Workshop has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and sofas. Pictures, books and colourful china add to the homely feel. It is in a very quiet location but within easy driving distance of Bath. The Cotswold Way is on the doorstep. I thoroughly recommend The Workshop for a comfortable stay in a lovely location.


Justin, London

Spent a lovely long weekend at The Workshop to celebrate my birthday. Such a beautiful spot with wonderful views and ideally located to visit Bath, Bristol and the surrounding areas. The Workshop itself is so cosy and comfortable, a real home from home with everything you could need and Jane made us feel very welcome. We hope to return soon!


Nikita, Hastings

Just back from a Lovely 3 night stay in the workshop - I took my Mum for a Christmas shopping trip in Bath and the accommodation was perfect for all our needs. The workshop itself is cozy and really comfortable (genuinely very comfortable!) with a fully stocked kitchen making self catering easy. The location however is what makes it - it is in the countryside tucked away with stunning views and easy access to lovely countryside walks which is amazing however it is also just down the road from the Bath park and ride making a day shopping hassle free!! This is my second visit ...


Geoff, Sheffield

A fabulous place to stay for our visit to Bath. Some beautiful walks from the door, including the Cotswold Way and the Lansdown Battlefield. The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well equipped, with all the special touches of a Special Place to Stay, including proper sharp kitchen knives!


Location

The neighbourhood

The Workshop is set in peaceful countryside and is heavenly for walkers. The nearest village, Upton Cheyney, is two miles away or 30 minutes’ walk down the hill - Upton Inn is great for a pint and does a good Sunday lunch. Dryham Park (NT) is a short drive for a lovely house, garden and café.

Local points of interest from Jane Morgan

  • The Workshop lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and right on the Cotswold Way. Lovely walks from the door, with outstanding views, for a stroll or longer hike.There are pubs to stop at and Bath racecourse is 20 minutes if you like the horses
  • The Georgian city of Bath is 10 minutes by car but better is the park and ride a mile away - a half hour stroll or a few minutes drive. Visit the Roman Baths, relax at the hot water Spa or wander round the World Heritage City itself.
  • In less than an hour by car you are deep within the Cotswolds . Visit bustlingTetbury for antiques and Cirencester a pretty Cotswold town. Bristol is 12 miles. Take a Banksy tour or stroll along the river via the Arnolfini to the SS Great Britain.
  • Walk in the National Arboretum at Westonbirt and visit any number of National Trust properties and gardens. Laycock with its abbey and gardens is delightful and nearby Dyrham Park is a must. It has gorgeous gardens, beautiful parkland and a good cafe !
  • You're a pretty 40 min walk from the local village of Upton Cheyney for lunch and a pint. Or to the Charlcombe Inn. 25 mins walk. There are two local pubs to drive to with good food. The Hare and Hounds and The Cross House. All welcome dogs
  • Or why not simply stay at home among the trees and the birdsong. We have a lovely garden and you're welcome to look round so do ask. And there is the Oak House, a romantic cabin for two in the woods-see Sawday's Canopy and Stars website for details.

Introducing

Jane Morgan

Jane and her husband live down the road in the main house; they moved here over 30 years ago, attracted by the space and astonishing views to the Welsh hills. The cabin was a workshop for making horse rugs for many years until they converted it into a holiday home. Jane’s abiding passion is her garden (she’s RHS trained), which she has created over the past three decades - it’s an informal riot of colour and scent on lots of different levels and blends seamlessly into mature trees and surrounding countryside.
