Reviews for Boo Cottage Botanicals

This was such an interesting course and it was such a bonus to take home so many lovely items that I had made myself. Nic and Ben are lovely and very helpful. I highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed the hand, foot and face workshop. Due to my disability I was given some extra help which was much appreciated. The face cream is great and a little seems to be going a long way.

I came on Sunday 27th with my Mum, sister and 14 year old neice. Nic and Ben are warm and welcoming hosts and the setting/views were amazing!! This course is excellent for the seasoned crafter or (more like our group) a family group that wanted to spend time together, doing something fun with likeminded people! Hosts explain everything and are always on hand to advise. Fab course!!

We attended this course on Sunday, and didn't really know what to expect. Its safe to say that it exceeded all our expectations. Nic and Ben delivered a fun and informative course. Nic brilliantly explained the science behind soap making, which was fascinating and then they both led us through the process step by step, giving all of the group equal attention and guidance. Cannot recommend highly enough, we cant wait to go back.

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

Excellent course and great support from Nic and Ben. Both worked really hard to ensure we had an great time and learnt lots. Really looking forward to another course I've booked next month.

What a wonderful workshop, Nic and Ben couldn’t be more welcoming! The background to soap making was really interesting and a great start to the day. Then the whole soap making process was fantastic with clear instruction and plenty of resources to get creative. Fabulous soaps to take home, I’d definitely go again! Thank you.

The village hall worked very well as the venue for the soap making workshop in January. Nicolas’s intro talk was pitched well giving a reassuring scientific context to the process, just enough to make you feel they know what they are doing. Ben worked hard to keep the process moving for the 9 of us. It was a busy, enjoyable 3 hours. Went home pleased with my soap. I have now booked on to another of their workshops.

I decided to get some friends and family together to do this course for my birthday. It was such a perfect choice! Great relaxed atmosphere, Ben and Nic were the perfect teachers and to go home with some amazing treats was a real bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others and can’t wait for new courses next year!

Friendly atmosphere
Good range of ingredients
Supportive environment

I had a fantastic time learning about and making my own soap. It was fascinating to learn about blending scents and to see the alchemy of turning the base ingredients into deliciously scented soap. Nic explained both the science and the history of soap making and then supported and guided us all in making our soap. It was great to bring home and then use my very own soap. I would recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning a new skill that's a bit different.

Attended a day course making soaps and other beauty products at Boo cottage. I couldn’trecommend this workshop more! Had such a great time and went home with some many lovely goodies that have lasted months! Can’t wait to come back again for another workshop!

I attended both the soap making, and skin care workshops. Both were excellent, and I had a great time. I loved using the products when I got home. I also made soaps to give as gifts, which were gratefully received by family and friends.

This was a well structured and fun course. There were only 4 on the course which allowed for the tutor to give us all plenty of time and attention. The range of options for ingredients was excellent. I am now using my soap and it is a really nice product which smells delightful in the bathroom. I shall certainly go back to make some more when my stock runs low.

We booked a workshop to celebrate birthdays together. Our age range was from 18 to 85 and we had a brilliant time: really fun, very informative and lovely products to take away at the end. I would highly recommend this, either a session making one thing or a longer workshop trying a few different techniques.

We attended the ‘Natural Skincare Workshop’ and had a fantastic time. Nic and Ben were very welcoming, they gave us a memorable and fun experience whilst spending quality time with close friends. We had the freedom to create our own unique products from a large selection of natural ingredients and we were all very pleased with the finished items which we were able to take home. I would highly recommend this workshop.
