Lovely little studio in an idyllic location

Had a 3 night stay in this very comfortable studio. Huge comfy bed, great shower, well equipped kitchen (microwave and air fryer for cooking) and all the extras you'll need in the kitchen and bathroom. All in a stunning courtyard setting with absolutely delightful hosts and an abundance of beautiful countryside in all directions.

A little gen

The Studio is a little gem, in a beautiful courtyard setting. Perfectly appointed and imaginatively fitted out with everything you could need. One small thing: it would be helpful if the recyling bags were put out where people can find them.

Wonderful studio property

A truly exceptional property set within a traditional walled garden with its own courtyard, cleverly hedged off to give privacy from the owners house whilst maintaining views of the main garden and all its rustic charm and character. A wonderfully peaceful setting.The property itself is full of charm and very tastefully appointed with such high quality and thoughtfully put together to provide every comfort you could possibly need for your stay. We were made to feel extremely welcome and Helen gave us great information on things to do and places to eat in the local area.A perfect short break. Very highly recommended.

Lovely property, our first visit to the area since 1996. Decent food at the pub and a great area to discover if you can cope with the hills. We had a comfortable stay and learnt how to use an air fryer. Thanks go to our hosts for making us welcome.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Wilson

Host profile image
My husband, Neil, and I renovated The Cart House and The Studio from derelict buildings in 2010. We loved the location and character of the buildings and walled courtyard. We have spent many happy years living in this beautiful area and are constantly exploring new walks to do in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean.

What makes this property unique

The Studio is located opposite the 12th century church and is a short stroll to St Briavels castle, the village pub and village shop. You have a pretty, well furnished patio in front of the studio overlooking the courtyard garden and water feature where you can relax and enjoy a bbq. We have made every effort to equip the studio with everything you would need for a comfortable and relaxing weekend
