Welcome to the Studio, at Dappledown

 

The 2011/12 Quality inspection has again given us a very complimentary report and confirmation of our 4* rating. "Very good accommodation in a rural setting complemented by very good standards of customer care."

                    oOo

The Studio was built and furnished to very high standards which reflect the quality of the owner's Swedish House providing everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

We care deeply for the environment and our guests.  The welcome pack includes eggs from the very free range hens in the field behind the house(when available), my home made scones and Cider from the local cider makers.  We recycle and compost everything possible, have double and triple glazing and a whole house ventilation system.

This is England as it used to be with miles of country walks, wonderful bird life, and in the winter crunchy leaves under foot and the smell of woodfires in the grate.

Stop at the village pubs for a local pint and a good meal by a roaring fire, before returning to your triple glazed, centrally heated studio appartment for a lovely night's rest. The Butchers Arms has  been awarded a "Bib Gaumand" award for good food at moderate prices, in the 2010 Michellin guide and we recomend it highly. The Crown is just round the corner and serves really good pub food and takeaways.

It is a real pleasure to provide the base for a wonderful holiday in the heart of the unspoiled British countryside, close enough to enjoy the many Festivals and attractions in the Three Counties, but buried in the green woods and valleys where you can just relax and unwind, in the knowledge that there is an excellent eating pub within walking distance.

If you are planning a walking, canoeing or cycling holiday, we have secure storage in our garage for your equipment and bikes as well as drying facilities for your outdoor clothing and boots.  There is no extra charge for this. You also have access to washing maching and tumble dryer in the owner's utility room.

Should you not be able to escape from your emails, we now have wireless broadband, so bring the laptop.

We have found lovely comments in the Visitor's Book, but here are a few as a taster:-

"Many thanks for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.  The studio is a wonderful place to stay in a fantastic location, we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for your friendliness and hospitality."

"Perfect ... Walked, read, rested and good food at the local pub.  Studio is exceptional and the bird life was very entertaining.  Cider and scones very much appreciated ... see you in July!"

"The peaceful location and the high standard of comfort make it impossible not to 'chill out'. An ideal base from which to tour the country."

"We have stayed in a lot of Self Catering Accommodation, but the Studio exceeded all our expectations"

"Everything we hoped for - and then some"

"Accommodation excellent, greeting warm and hospitable, if this were mine I wouldn't let people like me stay in it!"

"A wonderful week in idyllic surroundings.  Loved watching the sheep with their new lambs!  Accommodation superb - could not be faulted.  Homemade scones on arrival a wonderful touch!!!

We like hill walking, cycling, peace and quiet and last but not least, a good drop of draught cider - so Woolhope was just the right place.
