I'm a long staying guest at Sandy's lovely studio since February 2022; and I'm absolutely delighted I found this gem of a place and such gracious hosts in Sandy and Sheelagh! From the moment I arrived, I was thrilled to be in this exceptionally well-maintained, cosy, comfortable and well-equipped studio with everything in perfect condition. It's attached to the main house with a separate, secure and private entrance; and the back entrance leads into a beautiful garden where birds flutter and squirrels scurry about.
I was welcomed on arrival by Sandy and Sheelagh who are the absolute perfect hosts! They kept oranges on the kitchen table and milk in the fridge and coffee/tea at the ready. And they prepared a map of the surrounding areas complete with bus routes, restaurants and shopping areas, explaining everything.
The studio is situated in a quiet, safe and picturesque neighbourhood. The bedroom is spacious with a wide glass- topped work desk and white cupboards that are large enough for all your clothes and belongings. It's warm in winter with lots of light pouring in through the skylights. The oak floors of the bedroom and in the corridor outside the lovely bathroom makes the studio feel even more comfortable. There are lots of novels on the shelves, perfect for evening reading, and the linen and towels are changed once a week.
Both Sandy and Sheelagh are extremely responsive to any queries and communication is very easy. They're both very quick to find solutions and offer suggestions - places of interest, bus routes, theatres - and inform me of any travel or weather disruptions. I'd definitely stay here again!
