    I had a perfect stay in this gorgeous studio. Very comfortable and relaxing with lovely views across the garden. The hosts were very welcoming and everything in the studio was immaculate. Lovely touches like some great lifestyle magazines which I enjoyed browsing in the evening. Lots of walks in beautiful countryside and a fab pub just down the road.

    What a beautiful place! We were welcomed with a warm smile, shown to our accommodation and made to feel right at home from the start. It had everything we needed, was cosy & just lovely. We would love to stay again...if you'll have us.

    We had a lovely stay here. It was the perfect location for our visit to Highclere Castle for the Battle Proms concert. The room was spotless and we appreciated the milk in the fridge on our arrival.

    The bed was a little soft for me, but my husband liked it!

    The property had everything that we needed and beautiful views in a peaceful location. The kitchenette had a fridge, toaster and crockery and cutlery so we could eat our own food- there was also the offer of a microwave or two-ring hob.

    Everything was lovely.

    I loved everything about the property. It’s in a lovely rural location with wonderful views but it’s also a short drive to Newbury town centre. Helena was very friendly. She had provided some lovely handwritten notes about the room. Everything was of such good quality. It’s quiet and comfortable and had everything I needed for my short stay. I was impressed with the generous array of Pukka (my favourite) teabags that were available. I was so glad I chose The Garden Studio. It really was a special place to stay.

    Not quite a kitchenette, but owner brought in a microwave which fixed that. Fridge with freezer was fine.

    Excellent stay. As clean and comfortable as could be. Giant bed with a lovely view of the garden. Friendly host. Village itself was very small but pretty and the pub looked very fine.

    We had a lovely stay in this delightful place. Having the terrace to sit out on was a delight. The bed was huge and very comfortable and we loved all the little extra touches, like milk in the fridge, biscuits etc.The hosts were very welcoming. It was a shame the pub was shut that night, but we had a nice al fresco dinner at the Dundas Arms at Kintbury instead.

    Thoughtful layout of breakfast things - coffee, muesli, milk and so forth. Helena showed us where we could leave our bikes outside, close by which was great - we were on a cycling 'tour' The Red House almost next door was a great place to eat and took about 2 minutes to get to on foot. Ideal.

    Pity about the weather!!

    The location was perfect, with a lovely view and dear little patio. We received a very good welcome. The decor of the room was delightful, the bed comfortable with good quality pillows. The shower was excellent and we had an extremely comfortable stay. It was good to have fresh milk for our drinks. It was very helpful to be only yards away from a very good pub where we had a delicious meal.

    The standard inside the cottage was exceptionally high and this peaceful retreat is the perfect place to relax. The close proximity to a lovely country pub and beautiful canal walks only added to that. The bed was so comfortable and the tea, biscuits and cereals were rather good. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending it as a super place to stay.
