An annex of the owner’s family home (be prepared to encounter the owners pet dogs outside the property during your stay!), and at one time a dairy, the studio’s interior brims with character and period features as oak beams, stone walls and flagstone floors bear witness to the passage of time. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to blend traditional and contemporary living. A large open kitchen and dining area, formerly the main farmhouse kitchen, offers space for those who enjoy culinary exploits; the bedroom/living room beyond is perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring.
