The Studio has been a magical place to stayfrom watching birds on the patio with breakfast each morning to lazing in some much needed shade at 32 degrees! Having such a beautiful space to lay our heads has been rather fabulous, fitted to such a high quality with everything thought of (including gorgeous summer fruits on arrival- a lovely surpriseRead more when we opened the fridge), and the host is perfect, with great recommendations on places to go.
