Featured Excursion: Mystical Stonehenge
Embark on a journey to one of the world’s most enigmatic prehistoric monuments – Stonehenge. With English Cottage Vacation, you’ll experience this ancient wonder in unrivalled comfort and style.
Co-host and resident chauffeur Nathan will whisk you away to the Salisbury Plain, where these majestic stones have stood for over 5,000 years, shrouded in mystery and steeped in history.
At Stonehenge, marvel at the awe-inspiring structure of towering stones set against the vast open landscape.
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC, and it is aligned with the sunrise of the summer solstice, making it an astronomical masterpiece of its time. Its precise purpose still remains a topic of debate, adding to its allure and mystique.
For our guests, we endeavour to secure VIP tickets to Stonehenge whenever available, offering an exclusive experience in a small group setting. With these tickets, you’ll be part of a select group of no more than 20 visitors, led by a private guide who will take you on an intimate journey around the stones. This VIP tour allows you to get closer and more personal with these ancient monoliths than a regular tour. While VIP access is indeed special, we assure you that the standard tour also provides a remarkable and unforgettable experience, capturing the essence and mystery of Stonehenge in its full glory.
During your visit, enjoy a specially prepared picnic basket of gourmet delights courtesy of co-host Laura, our resident chef.
Savour these treats while basking in the historical and mystical atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As you journey back in the executive comfort of our Mercedes people-carrier, reflect on the enduring legacy of this timeless monument.
Don’t miss our next newsletter, where we will uncover the natural beauty and fascinating history of Cheddar Gorge & Caves, another must-visit destination on your English Cottage Vacation.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
As the ancient philosopher Seneca wisely observed, the arrival of a new year is not just a time of beginnings but also a continuation of our life’s journey. At Well Cottage, we cherish this philosophy, embracing each New Year as an opportunity to welcome fresh experiences and adventures.
The turn of the year is a time of reflection, a moment to appreciate the past while eagerly anticipating the future’s promise. We believe in the magic of new beginnings, the excitement that comes with exploring uncharted territories, and the joy of discovering hidden gems in the beautiful Dorset countryside.
As we step into the New Year, let us do so with open hearts and an adventurous spirit, ready to embrace the new experiences that await. May 2024 bring you closer to the moments that enrich your life, fill your days with laughter, and your heart with contentment.
From the serene countryside walks to the exhilarating excursions across historic landmarks, each day at Well Cottage is a chance to create unforgettable memories. Let’s make the year ahead a canvas of vibrant experiences, painting it with the colours of joy, discovery, and shared moments.
To all our cherished guests, past, present, and future, here’s to a 2024 brimming with new experiences, laughter, and joy. May each day be a step towards a journey filled with wonder and delight!
With excitement for the year ahead,
Nathan & Laura
