A lovely studio. Hosts Barbara & Steve very friendly and welcoming. The studio had everything that was needed for the stay. Plenty of information leaflets in the studio & plenty of local walks direct from the studio. Also very close to Vindolanda and Housteads for exploring all things Roman. Hexham close for an interesting day out visiting. Further afield a visit to Craglands well worth a visit. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
