Spa retreats
In addition to our in house, inclusive spa treatment options we can also arrange some pamper time at a local spa.

Horse Riding
Whether you’re a horse riding enthusiast or you’ve never had the opportunity of spending much time with these majestic animals before, horse riding is a wonderful activity for the whole family.
Soak up the magic of the morning or give yourself something to look forward to in the afternoon and get out and see the surrounding Countryside in the best way possible.
Climbing
There are some brilliant, natural climbing and abseiling spots around our local area in Somerset. Cheddar Gorge is a limestone gorge in the Mendip Hills. It’s famous for its caves. One of which, is where the oldest complete human skeleton, Cheddar Man, estimated to be 9,000 years old, was found in 1903. The climbing here is for both beginners and experts.
Hot Air Balloon Rides
Up, up, up and away! Take to the skies and enjoy a birds’-eye view of the wondrous marvels that the English countryside has to offer from a very different perspective, with the clouds passing by! This is a favourite experience for our guests who are looking for something extra special to enjoy with their partner.
Hiking/Rambling/ Countryside Walks
With there being so many gorgeous options of countryside walks and hikes close to Well Cottage, and also farther afield if you’re looking for more of an adventure, a vacation with us is the perfect choice for anyone wanting to stay active.
We can create with a personalised itinerary of varied walks and hikes especially for your stay. Choose between coastal, cliff, hilly, woodland walks or even a gentle meditative stroll. Walks can either be guided, or not – everything is your choice.
You also have the option of simply going on a whim and venturing out beyond the garden of Well Cottage. You’ll immediately be encountered by miles of magical forest and field pathways to explore in the surrounding countryside of your home away from home.

With the wind in your hair, you’ll feel free while exploring the quiet lane surrounding Well Cottage. All of our local cycle tracks are safe for all of the family, and although you’re welcome to enjoy this one by yourself, we would also be happy to guide you if you’d prefer to leave the map at home and enjoy the ride.
Fishing
The peace and patience of waiting to suddenly and unexpectedly be thrown into the rush of the disappearing bob, winding in your reel, tugging hard to excitedly see what the catch of the day could be, is just an experience quite unlike any other!
A day spent out by the water fishing with the family is a pleasure that is both peaceful and exhilarating. Whether you wish to spend your fishing trip out at sea as a day trip or at a nearby fishing lake, we have all the options.
Restaurant Experiences
If you’re able to tear yourself away from Laura’s cooking and you’re looking for a extra special dining experience out, we are happy to recommend some delicious brunch, lunch or dinner spots depending on what your tastebuds so desire.
Although eating out (if in addition to our inclusive dining out experience) is not included in our inclusive packages, we will organise all of the travel to and from restaurants and arrange your reservations for you so that your foodie experience away from Well Cottage goes smoothly, without any stress.

Well Cottage is close enough to spectacular theatres, hilarious comedy clubs, outstanding night clubs and brilliant bars all within driving distance. With your private driver and transport you won’t have to worry about getting home, who is designated driver or anyone missing out on any fun.

If you’d like to stay closer to home, we recommend visiting Salisbury to see its impressive English Gothic Cathedral with lovely boutiques and tea shops.
