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

Lois, Ampthill

Peaceful, relaxing and comfortable, The Workshop is the cure for today's manic world!


lara, LONDON

The Workshop was not only larger than anticipated but more elegant, more stylish, more tasteful and more welcoming. Warm with the atmosphere of an intriguing history - the decor and furnishings are quirky and comfortably rustic but it's also practically equipped to an excellent standard. Utterly idyllic - and best - the tranquil bedroom with its huge, plush, snuggly, comfy bed. The sheets crisp and white, the walls and bedclothes a calm, reposeful shade of duck egg blue. Truly heavenly. Jane was helpful, kind, thoughtful and welcoming. The Workshop is at the top of my 'must return to' list!


Julia, Cambridge

We spent 4 nights in the workshop at the end of January whilst visiting Bath and the surrounding countryside. It was a delight to return back each day to the extremely comfortable workshop, with the cosy log burner and great facilities for self catering - in fact it proved hard to leave! Thanks to Jane for her great hospitality - we will be back in nicer weather to make the most of the views!


debbie, Truro

We stayed at The Workshop for 3 nights from 2nd December. The Workshop is quietly situated, comfortable, well equipped, thoughtfully decorated and provided a first class place to stay to enable us, primarily, to visit Bath Christmas Market. It was a swift journey to the park and ride thence to Bath itself via a 20 minute coach ride. In addition to Bath, there is so much to visit in the surrounding area, yet The Workshop provides a bolthole away from the bustle. We would recommend The Workshop to anyone who likes, peace, comfort and a superb view.


Rachel, Warwick

The Workshop is worth staying in just for the view! You will not be disappointed, even on a dull winter's day or after dark, when an illuminated Bristol holds its own beauty. The Workshop really is a peaceful and cosy retreat, with a well appointed kitchen and a comfy bed. Definitely choose this place if you would like to visit Bath and Bristol, but also want to escape to the country at the end of the day for some peace, and a good book by the fire.


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.
