The perfect retreat
Set in six acres and surrounded by paradisal countryside, Backbury House Studios truly can offer you the perfect retreat.
What’s more, the elevated location offers panoramic views over the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which features unspoilt woodlands and wildflower meadows.
Coupled with the fact that we also offer two fully equipped creative studios, there is no doubt that we can offer a tranquil escape.
Luxury Studio Spaces
Our fully equipped studios are located in a self-contained space with access to a kitchen, bathroom and well-stocked art store.
What’s more, there is guest seating on the surrounding spacious patio area from which you can take in and admire the glorious surrounding vistas.
Therefore, we can offer you the ideal base for your all of your creative endeavours where you will no doubt be inspired.
The Main Studio
The main studio is the larger of the two studio spaces offering 20 square metres and is situated on the ground floor.
In short, it is a cosy and practical space. Furthermore, it has a log burner for those cooler days housed within an old cider press. Therefore boasting practicality plus it’s own quirky charm!
What’s more, the space benefits from both north, east and southern aspect windows. A truly wonderful space to be creative in.
The Top Studio
This studio is located on the first floor and therefore also affords spectacular views over the Wye Valley.
Furthermore, it is a bright, airy and versatile space. For example, it can be used for a number of activities including: as an art studio, gallery, meeting room, photography studio, meditation space or treatment room.
Access
For your convenience, we offer free designated car parking for up to 8 vehicles located adjacent to our private road. The studio is then accessed by a short 2 minute walk along an uphill driveway.
As illustrated in the accompanying photograph, there are steps up to the studio from the driveway. However, it is possible to continue along the driveway and circumnavigate them, if required.
In addition, we also have additional parking for two cars located closer to the studios which also avoids the uphill walk and steps. These can be accessed by driving up to the top of driveway and parking next to the designated signage.
Please note that the studio bathroom facilities are located on the first floor accessed via a flight of stairs. We can offer ground floor bathroom facilities in our adjacent property, with prior notice. Please contact us in advance of your visit if these facilities are required. In addition, please note that neither facilities have full disabled access.
