It had a great equipped kitchen including the little thing's like a garlic crusher and cheese grater . When we arrived we had a lovely basket filled with wine and biscuits and we was left a folder which gave us great ideas of stuff we can do during our stay. The owners of this studio were lovely and were more than happy to help us if we had an issue . Overall, it was a lovely week away and would fully recommend this studio to anyone we will definitely be back thank you!

When re-visiting a venue you are often a little concerned it may not be as good as the first. No concerns here whatsoever. Beautifully presented and everything catered for. Location ideal for exploring both the peaks and dales.
