Booked the course as a birthday present for mum and we went together. We had a brilliant day and came away with a heap of Boo Cottage goodies which we'd made ourselves! Really informative and creative course, the owners/tutors are very welcoming and friendly. We're absolutely going to recommend the course and products to our friends.
Response from Boo Cottage Botanicals:
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review. Really pleased you both enjoyed yourselves!Loved the full day workshop! Nic is fabulous, patient and generous with her knowledge and experience while not being prescriptive and really letting you try things out. Had the best fun and came away with loads of goodies I’m delighted to have crafted. If you haven’t been, go. If you’ve been before, go again!
PS. I’d go again just for the fantastic lunch. So yummy.
The workshop was well organised and it was amazing how much we learnt to make lovely soaps, creams, bath bombs, lip balms, bath bombs, bath truffles, body butter and body scrub in a day. Nic and Ben are great facilitators. I enjoyed it very much.
Many thanks

Response from Boo Cottage Botanicals:
Thank you Portia for your lovely review! We really enjoyed having you and hope you will be back :)One of the best classes that I attended in my life was with Boo cottage botanicals (Soap and Cosmetics Making).
Very informative and clear
Very well organized
A wonderful workshop charmed me with it smells and simplicity from first sight
Mrs Nichola the class captin and her partner Mr Ben did all what they can do to give us a nice experience and they were very generous with us.
The soap making is little bit dangerous
But Nichola teached us a simple and organized way to do it.
Every tool you need is there
Many selections of oils, butters, essential oils, natural colors and other materials are provided.
So just join the classes and unleash yours creativity .
They helped me in the transportation between the railstation and the workshop without any additional charge
They stayed with me after the class for an hour answering my questions
I came from London to taunton just to attend the class and it really worth all the costs and I really wished to stay longer
Did I say they have a light English lunch and a charming products in thier small shop?
Once again
thank you very much Nichola & Ben
