Absolutely gorgeous place, wonderful location (very close to the Serpentarium and St. Helens' main streets are just a 5min car ride away) and the gardens are fantastic! It's like a tiny little secret garden with the studio nestled in there; very private. The studio itself was much bigger than expected and had so many lovely, artistic touches to it. A range of breakfast things were provided, from cereals to sourdough and jams; there were also at least three different varieties of tea, plus hot chocolate. Everything i needed to either cook my own food or sit comfortably while eating takeaway was there.
If you get hayfever, like me, you'll definitely notice all the flowers in the garden; the water pressure in the shower also isn't great. These are minor quibbles; I took pills to offset the sneezing and just took a bit longer to wash my hair. This place is well worth the stay and is also very decently priced for the area.
