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:

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

I had a truly fantastic day at Boo Cottage Botanical on the soap and skincare full day course.
Really enjoyed making soap, bath truffles, body butters and more. The end products look great and smell amazing . So nice to be able to take home what you make on the day. The course is well planned and easy to follow. Ben and Nic are superb hosts and tutors who make learning fun.
Great value for money, lots packed in ,but never rushed and a lovely lunch included. Will be returning for another course for sure . Thanks for the warm welcome and teaching me a new skill I can use at home. Portia x
