Quiet location so if you’re looking for peace and quiet , this is for you . Nothing is more than a small trip away. Andrew & Penney were the best hosts , even fresh veggies for our supper ! Would totally stay again

We spent a lovely few days at The Studio.
We spent a lovely few days at The Studio. The accommodation was great, really comfortable and had everything we needed. The upstairs open plan area is lovely, so light and airy. We were lucky to have some good weather to enjoy some long walks across the fields straight from the front door. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. The local pub is 5 minutes away and serves good food with great service. We had a great time and hope to visit again. Thank you.

We had a very enjoyable week in The Studio.
We had a very enjoyable week in The Studio. A comfortable home from home in a lovely peaceful village. Penny & Andy are welcoming hosts & have been a big help in suggesting the best places to visit. Our dog settled immediately & was made very welcome. There are lots of lovely places to visit around & about, if you don’t mind a drive. But walks nearby too. A local pub serves good food, but only open Thursday - Sunday. Dog friendly too. We were spoiled by perfect weather, but would have been a lovely holiday whatever.
