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

Bernie, London

Lovely place to stay on the outskirts of Bath. Very convenient for getting into the city using the park and ride. The Workshop is very comfortable and homely, with everything you could possibly need - although we didn’t actually get round to doing any cooking there! Jane is an excellent host and we are so glad to have found this place through Sawday’s.


Benjamin, Hexham

The Workshop was perfect for a very relaxing stay. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door directly on the picturesque trail on the Cotswold Way, and also made several trips into the lovely city of Bath, easily reached by car (and the nearby park & ride). The property was comfortable, well equipped and nicely furnished. Even with a 2 year old the stay was hassle-free. We will especially remember The Workshop for its beautiful view.


Pam, Galloway

Thank you for a lovely, comfortable stay at the Workshop. We appreciated the peace and quiet of the location yet such easy access to Bath. Lots to explore in the surrounding area and perfect to come 'home' to such a well equipped and relaxing base. I can't omit to mention the treat of finding that Derry Watkins' Special Plants Nursery is only a short hop away - a treasure trove for any gardening enthusiast and so lucky to catch one of Derry's inspiring talks. Many thanks for a super visit.


Pam, West Midlands

The Workshop s everything you need for a relaxing break, beautiful views a comfortable and cosy home from home with a verandah to suit on, listen to the bird song and watch the sunset. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend away to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thank you Jane, we will be returning soon. Pam & Brian,


Diane, CHESTER

What a beautiful place to stay! We had a lovely few days exploring the area but it was a delight to return to the comfort of The Workshop. Tastefully decorated and very well equipped with thoughtful extras such as toiletries and the herb and spice box. The kingsize bed with its lovely bedding was very comfortable and the giant fluffy towels were a treat. It is so peaceful and quiet with just the sound of the birds, including a night time owl. And finally the view! Thank you Jane for a memorable stay. We hope to return.


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.
