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.

A pleasant b&b with beautiful views. Owners were very friendly. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Had a comfy nights sleep. Will most likely return on our next visit. Only bad points were stains on the bed throw & very lime scaley kettle. Overall though it was a lovely stay.

Beautiful Bedrooms. The pictures did not do the place justice. Spotlessly clean bedroom and bathroom, fresh and light, simple new furnishings. Lovely . Could not have asked for more. Breakfast Service was very good. The couple made every effort to be warm friendly and helpful. Excellent for those going to Athelhampton House. I personally did not feel comfortable anywhere downstairs,... More

This was our second visit and just as enjoyable as the first. The weather did not deter us and on the one day that it was too wet to venture out it was nice to relax, read, and generally chill out! It was great to have the suite as we were staying for 8 nights. As usual nothing was too... More

We had a lovely stay in the family suite. Mark and Lyndsey were great hosts. Beautiful home, spotlessly clean, great sized rooms, and in a great location.
