Poldark films in Wells

Leave a reply

No sooner has filming for the prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman finished and we are ready to welcome more film crews.  The Wells Journal has reported that:

“POLDARK fans should get their binoculars at the ready as the series is set to film in Wells next month.  Filming of the second series of the hit show started in Cornwall on Monday but the crews are due to film scenes outside The Crown and in Wells Market Place in a few weeks’ time.”

Its really not surprising that the area is such a hit with film makers. With stunning architecture, and a long history, as well as outstanding natural beauty, it creates the perfect background for every period film.

Hopefully The White House will get to see some of the starts in action.

Sad news for foodies in Wells

Leave a reply

We were really disappointed to find that The Old Spot, our favorite restaurant in Wells, has closed until further notice.  Unsure why, as the place was always very full and the food was absolutely superb.

However, we shouldn’t be too despondent, there are still lots of great places to eat close by, and we have a new recommendation that we are keen to try out, at The Poachers Pocket in Chelynch, Shepton Mallet.

Hope for Justice

We have the privilege to be hosting members of the Hope for Justice team in The Old Barn at the moment, who are exhibiting at Summer 2015 New Wine at the Bath and West Showground.

This fantastic charity is doing superb work to end human trafficking and slavery – find out more about their work and how you can help them at http://hopeforjustice.org/

While showing further guests into their suite in The Loft, these lovely girls arrived back from their day at New Wine and were delighted and surprised to find our new guests were relatives they had not seen in some time.  Neither of the parties had any idea the others were staying.

Would you believe it….

 

Snow White and the Huntsman

Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt were out and abut in Wells this week, and some lucky locals saw cast and crew  in Ask and Coffee#1.  Unfortunately, none of us here at The White House Bed and Breakfast caught so much as a glimpse….

The sun doesn’t seem to have realised but the summer holidays are finally here.  There’s lots to see and do here in Wells and my own children are busy sharing their time between puppy watching and tennis club.

We are ready to welcome friends to The White House later next week which is something else to look forward to, so with our lovely bed and breakfast guests here too, there is no chance to be bored…..

A big welcome to Bob from The White House, Dulcote Wells

Leave a reply

Well, we finally brought Bob home on Friday evening and he is settling in really well.  Despite being warned that we may have a few sleepless nights, he has slept right through the night and, although we have had three very early mornings, my fears that he might disturb our guests crying, have been unfounded.  In fact – he is turning out to be a great hit!  A little jealous really, our guests comments now focus on how gorgeous Bob is………..  You can see from the photo what a little rascal he has turned out to be.

 

bob is home!
