We would like to wish all our past and future guests at Roman Cottage a very happy New Year. Let's hope that it's brings us all good health, happiness and prosperity. 

The cottage has been open and offering holiday accomodation now for 7 years and during this time we have certainly learnt a great deal in terms of managing a business, listening to guest feedback and maintaining an old property. Certainly back in my school years (during the 80's), I wasn't given the opportunity to study business management or learn the DIY skills that are essential to running a successful holiday accomodation business. Thankfully, with the availability of the internet and the library of supportive information and videos, we are able to learn and improve the experience we are able to offer to our guests. We have ideas to improve the cottage accomodation further and we're look to share these during future blog updates. Rich

Its been over 6 months since my last update, which has primarily been due to an unexpected family illness, however Roman Cottage remains open and available for future guests to book their next break. The cottage is now ready for the winter period, with the log burner serviced and the chimney swept, of course if this feels like too much effort, the cottage does benefit from being fully centrally heated by a Worcester Combi boiler.

The Easter break has brought some lovely bright warm sunshine to Colerne. On my recent trip across to prepare the cottage for our next guests,  I took the opportunity to take our pet cockapoo for a walk around the village and towards Lucknam Park. Whether you enjoy a road walk or across open countryside, Colerne and its surrounding villages has the best of both worlds. Once you've completed your walk, the village of Colerne has two pubs open daily to relax and enjoy a well deserved refreshment or two.

We have been busy fielding a number of enquiries from potential guests over the past month or so, with a few guests looking to book the cottage for longer periods of time. We do offer a good discount for stays of around 28 days, so if you're looking for a property to use as a base for longer stays, then we look forward to hearing from you.
