We spent a lovely few days at The Studio. The accommodation was great, really comfortable and had everything we needed. The upstairs open plan area is lovely, so light and airy. We were lucky to have some good weather to enjoy some long walks across the fields straight from the front door. The owners were lovely and very welcoming. The local pub is 5 minutes away and serves good food with great service. We had a great time and hope to visit again. Thank you.

Had a fantastic few days ! The studio was lovely, clean and welcoming . Stunning views from the big window across Dorset landscape. Quiet location so if you’re looking for peace and quiet , this is for you . Nothing is more than a small trip away. Andrew & Penney were the best hosts , even fresh veggies for our supper ! Would totally stay again
