Ideal location, away from the world yet not too far. Very friendly host, even came to pick us up from the pub when we got rained out. Very nice to be able to use the swimming pool, comfortably heated.

Alison and B,

We had a great time in Kent. The accommodation was everything we'd expected. It was lovely to be able to relax, read, and rest at a home away from home! Nice to explore Kent instead of racing through to other places in the UK. We will definitely recommend you to others.

Martin & M,

We had an amazing time. The Studio ticks all the boxes. For a small place it packs a big punch. Everything catered for, loads of storage, lovely shower etc. Relaxed all day in the grounds by the pond with the sunshine. If you need relaxation and to unwind then you've already made a good choice.

Stephen and T,

Absolutely lovely week in the Studio. Weather was good and Debby kindly arranged for the pool to be available. Location so convenient for lots of lovely places to visit.
