Thank you for taking the time to review our property. It was a pleasure to have you as guests and thank you for leaving the studio in such good order. We hope you may return in the future :)
Had a 3 night stay in this very comfortable studio. Huge comfy bed, great shower, well equipped kitchen (microwave and air fryer for cooking) and all the extras you'll need in the kitchen and bathroom. All in a stunning courtyard setting with absolutely delightful hosts and an abundance of beautiful countryside in all directions.

About the host
Hosted by Helen Wilson
My husband, Neil, and I renovated The Cart House and The Studio from derelict buildings in 2010. We loved the location and character of the buildings and walled courtyard. We have spent many happy years living in this beautiful area and are constantly exploring new walks to do in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean.
What makes this property unique
The Studio is located opposite the 12th century church and is a short stroll to St Briavels castle, the village pub and village shop. You have a pretty, well furnished patio in front of the studio overlooking the courtyard garden and water feature where you can relax and enjoy a bbq. We have made every effort to equip the studio with everything you would need for a comfortable and relaxing weekend
