About the host
Hosted by Timo Gleed

The Art Studio is one of 5 rental properties managed by our family -- a small holiday rental business which has been running for 40 years. Steven and Susanna own the Art Studio and Steven's son, Timo manages the days to day activities and will be the host and look after you during your stay. An Italian Chef Luigi, a close family friend, is available for Italian dining experience also!
Why they chose this property
The property is conveniently located outside of Ringwood on the edge of the New Forest and with quick access to beaches of Bournemouth. The property was built in 1905 as an Art Studio for my Great Grandmother who was an accomplished painter. The Art Studio's main living room was designed with roof high north facing windows which maximise natural light, which now provides beautiful views to the gardens and forest. Six generations of our family have lived in this family home, and has now been remodelled and refurnished as a holiday rental. The house layout is spacious and ideal for large family groups who love cooking and indoor / outdoor dining.
The house backs on to the Horton Road, which although gives some traffic noise, ensures very good access to Ringwood and Bournemouth, which is literally 12 mins drive from your front door!

What makes this property unique
The property is blend of the modern & traditional, with ample indoor and outdoor dining possibilities, equipped with a modern kitchen (2021), modern bathrooms, and large tables ideal for family dining and get-togethers. The property is on the edge of the Dorset/Hampshire border, backing on to Ringwood Forest, the western edge of the New Forest and is only 10 mins drive to the beaches of Bournemouth. The property has two log burning fire stoves giving you that cosy 'cottagey' experience in the winter months. We also have a WW2 Army Bunker on the edge of the Forest which we have converted into a modern Finnish Sauna & plunge pool, and is available for booking.
