  Lovely stay at the Studio.

  The property is spotlessly clean and everything you need is supplied (no need to bring anything). You can make a cup of tea when you arrive as Penny makes sure you have fresh milk, even fresh flowers on the table & if you are bringing a pet a supply of dog treats. On a separate note the shower did not have much pressure and wifi was very slow. Just my own personal opinion and is not meant as a criticism as the property is lovely and comfortable. We were visiting friends and know the area well but if you need any help Penny is there to assist. Would highly recommend this property and thank you Penny for a lovely stay.

  Location good with amazing views from the studio, well presented and equipped.

  Details on studio misleading as there is not any seating area downstairs apart from the kitchen chairs , settee upstairs which was very uncomfortable it needed padding out under the seats as sunk in the middle. Double doors needs draught proofing as could see daylight through the middle and bottom the cold wind was blowing through so unable to sit at kitchen table to have a meal. I took my dog and as they are not allowed upstairs which is understandable if it was just a bedroom but as its the main living quarters its a bit unfair for the dog to be left downstairs. otherwise a pleasant stay.

  The Studio is well equipped and as shown in the images.

  Had the weather been warmer, I'm sure we would have sat outside more, the yard is a sun trap in the afternoon. The Studio is also a good location for visiting a number of historic sites and the coast. We packed a lot into our week here. My only disappointment with the property was the traffic noise. I'd incorrectly assumed this would be a quiet location but the adjacent road turned out to be busy. This was my error, but I was glad that we hadn't taken our dog as I wouldn't have fancied walking along the road to get on to nearby public footpaths.

  Although the weather was extreme with Gales the property was very draughty.

  This probably wouldn’t be a problem the majority of the time, but if rented during the colder months when wind is more likely it may result in negative feed. We had to keep the curtains drawn and position cushions to help, so maybe the balcony window could have better insulation and fittings as the top lock kept popping open. Otherwise this was a very quaint property, perfect for two on a lower budget. Also a perfect location for exploring the coast and gardens nearby. Lulworth Cove and the national trust property at Stourhead are a must.

  The Studio was an ideal base for us and our dog, to discover Dorset.

  The property was very well presented, came stocked with everything you could ask for in a self catering property and the welcome table set for afternoon tea, with local biscuits, was very thoughtful. The upstairs view across the countryside was beautiful. The lounge area was a good space to relax in the evening and a super comfortable bed ensured a great night’s sleep too. NB. The car parking space is a bit tight, take care when parking . Many thanks to Penny and Nigel
