I stayed at white cottage with my son earlier this month. It was my third stay at white cottage since Mark and Lindsay opened their delightful home to the holidaying public, and it was as good as it has ever been, if not better! We stayed in room 1, the blue room, and I had the best nights sleep I've... More

The weekend of 1st June 2013 my sister got married at Athelhampton Hall. My parents arranged for myself and my partner to stay at The White Cottage. When at the wedding reception, we were told by another guest, who we didn't know but was also staying at the White Cottage, that there was a problem at the hotel. As such... More

We were not disappointed staying at this beautiful country cottage for 3 nights. The room was spotless and the unsuite shower was hugh and perfectly clean. The bed was really comfy with its spotless fluffy white pillows and duvet. So welcoming after a long busy day seeing the local attractions and picturesque villages and towns that were all easy to...

As B&B proprieters ourselves in NZ we know what to look for and expect. We weren't disappointed in any sense: value for money, spotless and comfortable room, peace and quiet. Our hosts were friendly and charming, and the breakfast all you could want to enjoy in such pleasing surroundings. Any negative review must be someone with an axe to grind:... More

We have just returned from a long weekend at the White Cottage B&B in Athelhampton. Stayed here when Mark and Lynsey first opened and had no hesitation in going back when we returned to the area. We found it even better than we remembered- Mark and Lynsey are wonderful hosts and are very happy to share their local knowledge which... More

I stayed here with my fiancee a few weeks ago, and we had a lovely time. The hosts were warm and welcoming, the situation idyllic and the bed more comfortable that I could imagine. Breakfast was fantastic. Big and hearty, and a lot supplied form the small freehold in the yard. Over all I can't recommend this highly enough!

I stayed with my partner in the 'blue room' for 3 nights. This is a exceptional B&B with perfect facilities including our very own lovely and hot rain shower. Mark and Lindsay were very welcoming and keen to help us plan two successful outings during our short stay. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice including fresh eggs from... More

The owners were quite new to B&B management - and it showed. We only met Mark - Lindsay kept out of the way rather than help welcome guests. Suite was was good but bathroom door could not be closed and the shower was cold, no matter how it was adjusted. Mentioned it to Mark who denied any problem, saying it... More

A lovely B & B run by a very friendly couple, Mark and Lindsay. The room was comfortable, with all amenities, even a hot water bottle! The breakfast was excellent, with vegetarians catered for very well, and Lindsay even offered to wrap up some hot cross buns for our onward journey. Highly recommended.
