The Garden Studio provides beautifully appointed and well equipped, boutique accommodation for two people wishing for an independent base from which to visit River Cottage or explore the Jurassic Coast.

Part of a converted barn, separate from the main house, the Studio is on the ground floor and is one of two apartments with its own parking and entrance. You have all you need to cater for yourselves, with kitchenette, dining areas inside and out. Now with newly extended, luxurious ensuite bathroom with his/hers bath, separate walk-in shower and mood lighting, sumptuous king-size sleigh bed in solid oak. Cosy lounge area with two comfortable armchairs, coffee table and TV and Wifi. The quality Ruark sound system enables you to listen to your own music via Bluetooth.

With large patio doors, The Studio overlooks our pretty, bright, courtyard garden and guests have exclusive use of an outdoor patio area in which you can sit and breakfast ‘al fresco’. Many of our guests talk about relaxing in the evening, with a glass of wine, listening to the birds and gentle running water of our fountain, the central focus of this walled garden.

The Garden Studio has its own front door adjacent to its private parking area. It is situated in a building separate to the main house, connected by a covered walkway, forming part of a picturesque courtyard garden.

We love to welcome our guests on arrival so that we can help with information about the local area or other queries you may have. Equally, we are happy to leave The Studio unlocked and for you to arrive at your leisure. If you need anything, you just need to message us, or come and knock on our front door, and we will do our best to help.

We live on site and are on hand to help you with information and recommendations about local sites and amenities. However, The Garden Studio has its own independent access and most of our guests choose to stay here because of the privacy and tranquility we offer.

The Garden Studio is fully equipped to cater for yourselves. Guests bring their own food although we leave some ingredients for a perfect, country breakfast - fresh eggs from our chickens, filter coffee, cereals, milk etc.

Although spacious, the Studio has low celings 6ft5 in height.

We have another studio let, Lofty Hayes, above The Garden Studio. We have installed top quality sound proofing to ensure our guests are not disturbed by loud music or talking. However, both properties form part of a barn conversion and occasionally you may be aware of movement from guests above you.
