I first heard of Boo Cottage about 3 years ago when I did a soap and skincare workshop with Nic and Ben. It was a fantastic experience (lunch was fab too) and opened up my eyes as to how good quality skincare products are made. I have bought a number of products from Nic and Ben over the years but my favourite at the moment has to be the Berry cleanser which smells divine and is beautiful on my skin. I then follow it up with the Balance facial oil and give my face a really good calming massage. My husband uses the Woodsman beard oil, which he says has made a huge improvement to his skin and my son uses the Soothing Oatmeal bath truffles and Goats milk Oat and honey soap in the bath as he suffers from eczema, which helps soothes his skin amazingly before bed.
If any of my family have a birthday I always treat them to something from Boo and I love that I have found a local independent business who makes beautiful, handmade soap and skincare products based right here in Somerset. I will continue to support Boo Cottage Botanicals and look forward to the ever growing range that they fantastically make.

As usual it was a delight to do business with the crew at Boo cottage. The item was easy to find on the website, the buying process was like a dream without any nasty surprises that you can get on some sites, I was told that my purchase was on its way and low and behold there it was on the doorstep. It was only a small item however it was beautifully packaged and showed that they really cared about me as a customer.
Well done everyone and keep up the good work.

I love Boo Cottage Bocanicals so much. Their products feel so nourishing and natural on my skin and smell amazing.
I was also really impressed with the delivery service - even though I had ordered these for myself the packaging made me feel like I had received a gift of love from a friend.

I received some lavender bath truffles and some lip balm for Christmas from a friend. I fell in love with your products so much I had to buy some to share with some of my besties, who are both working super hard on the front line during this strange time. Once I am able to get them to them I’m sure they will fall in love as well while thoroughly relaxing in the bath. Amazing presentation and packaging Beautiful 🥰

I came to a fabulous soap making workshop and made some beautiful soap. It was very enjoyable to see the development from raw ingredients to finished product. I learnt so much. Thank you so much.

9 months after meeting Ben I finally got to do a workshop with my friend Kate. We did the whole day, natural soap and skin care and it was well worth the wait and 2 hour drive. We had a lovely day and got to take our handmade goodies home. Nic and Ben are amazing teachers and hosts and I would not hesitate to recommend the workshop. Ben makes an amazing lunch too ! Thank you for a lovely day, it was just what we both needed.

Just spent a fantastic Sunday morning with my sister and niece on Nic and Ben’s Natural Skincare Making workshop. A short introduction was followed by a sniffing, smelling and rubbing in session where we tried out the various ingredients to see which we preferred and then on to the making. This was hugely enjoyable and we were provided with all the instruction, equipment and ingredients to “cook up” our lip balms, bath bombs and scrubs amongst other things. The morning was rounded off with coffee and a chance to personalise and decorate our products. A lovely way to spend a morning and we have all come home with a box of deliciously yummy products. I can thoroughly recommend this course, Nic and Ben were very welcoming and the whole session was conducted in a warm, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere.

Had a great time at a Soap Making Workshop back in March and have now started using the soap. It is a lovely texture, smell and best of all I made it and know what went in it. I went to the work shop with a friend and we swapped a couple of soaps so shared our delights. I'd highly recommend this and will probably do it again but definitely will look at the moisturiser days too. Bridget

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for such a fantastic day today at your workshop. I've just sent a picture of all my goodies to my daughter in North Wales and she was really impressed with all my goodies.
You're both so patient and explain everything very clearly, it was certainly a great pleasure to be with you today.
I would love to come back later in the year with my daughter who would love it I'm sure. I'll keep an eye on your website.

I met Ben at the Shaftesbury Christmas fair last year and ended up buying soaps and bath bombs for my step daughter who suffers from eczema. Also some soap for myself and a friend. The soap leaves your hands feeling lovely and soft. I recently purchased some more bath bombs for myself , soap dishes which are great as they let your soap dry and you don’t end up with a slimy mess. I also bought some facial oil which I am now using instead of my well known face cream that I have been using for years. The oil makes my face feel so much softer . I am now going to book a days workshop to make some of my own. Thank you

I initially met Nichola at a Christmas Fayre and chatted to her about the options for Hen Do workshops. From beginning to end Nichola was so helpful in the organising of the Soap Workshop, happy to answer any questions I had.
The workshop itself was a brilliant Hen Do activity. Nichola and Ben were both really attentive, making it fun for everyone. We learnt about the chemistry of soap making without it being too in depth.
The whole group had a great time and it was really lovely that they got to take something physical (the soap) away from the weekend.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the workshop to anyone who is thinking of attending or planning a Hen Do.
Thanks again Nichola & Ben

Huge thanks to Nic and Ben for two such fun and interesting workshops. I really enjoyed my day and learned so much about natural skincare and soap-making - best of all, I made lots of gorgeous goodies to bring home with me. Great time - thoroughly recommended.

I had a superb day making soap, lip balms, bath and body goodies. It was fun as well as being informative. We were only a small group so got a lot of 1 to 1 help as well as being given time to mix and blend our own ideas. The raw ingredients were of excellent quality and the whole day passed so quickly!!
Nic and Ben make an impressive team with suggestions when we needed help and time to reflect when we made our own decisions. We had a lovely lunch and were able to take home what we had made. All in all a brilliant day.
Thank you.

I had a fantastic time at the Natural Skincare workshop. It was a small group, so we received loads of attention and advice. I learned so much! Nic and Ben have a wealth of knowledge and are such lovely people. The time just flew and I left feeling that I had been fully absorbed in every moment. It was such a treat to leave with lovely goodies that I'd made myself, and which I'm continuing to enjoy. I especially love my balm bar :) Thank you, Nic and Ben, and hope to see you again for Soap Making.

My daughter and I came along to a beginners' soapmaking workshop last week. Really enjoyed it, Nic & Ben are very welcoming, and are patient and helpful tutors. We were delighted with our soaps. Thank you both and hope to come again for another of your workshops.

I was given a Lemongrass Soap, and was really impressed by the fragrance (it really does make you feel wide awake in the morning) the quality and the beautiful packaging... so much so that I have now bought a Gorgeous Gift Box as a present for a relative.

I love my lipbalm- a quality product that has lasted for ages. Have ordered several bars of soap for Christmas presents and I'm sure my family will love them as much as I do!

Really loved the soap. Makes my bathroom smell divine! Looks great, feels so creamy, and lasts a long time.
I went to 2 Fayres last weekend, and other makes of soap were much more expensive, and smaller bars.
