We had a very comfortable stay at the Studio. Sarah and Jim were very welcoming and helpful. The property was warm, cosy and well equipped. It is also located close to Hay on Wye which is definitely worth a visit.

Sarah was an exceptional host. Really helpful with things to do around the area. Her two dogs, Diva (super friendly girl) and Stanley (a little nervous and barked but totally harmless) were both adorable and great with my little dog, Heidi. The studio is the perfect retreat, whether you just want to laze around all day or get out and about. It is tRead morehe perfect place and the gardens are extensive - where Heidi was allowed to roam around freely. Youneed a car to get out and explore the area. Hide
