Artisans on the Hill really is a wonderful retreat. We only wanted to check out the gallery and ended up staying two nights and doing two workshops.
Old silver tongue Pete talked us into creating something special, so my husband turned a wooden bowl, and Christine showed me how to make a stunning piece of pure silver jewellery.
Loved every minute of our stay here. We'll be back.HELEN & TOM CARTER | SEPTEMBER 2018
Wonderful hosts and spacious and comfortable accommodation. We also participated in the art workshops on offer with something to suit the talents of each member of the family. Thoroughly recommend this to other people seeking a refuge from the bustle of the city or an opportunity to indulge their creativity.

Alan Williams Workshop
This was a fantastic experience, Alan Williams was a patient and very generous teacher, I have enough notes to keep me going for months. I travelled 12 hrs to attend the workshop and will go again when it is available, I cannot recommend Artisans on the Hill highly enough. The Gallery, Accommodation, and Facilities were first class.
Peter and Christine the hosts made me feel very much at home, great people.
Beautiful views and situation very inspirational
Accommodation and facilities are absolutely first class.PETER JOHN | MAY 2019
A great place to use your hands productively!
I recently chose to use the great workshop at Artisans to make a special piece of furniture for one of my sons. The workshop that Peter and Christine have created at this place is a very special opportunity for people like me to get active. I had an idea of what I wanted to make, but little of the necessary equipment and experience to have a go. Well Peter in his quiet and very supportive way encouraged me to get into the project. He has a workshop with all the right gear; well set up and ready to go. It was a difficult job, but Peter's advice and help ensured I got what I wanted. We now have a bespoke family heirloom in my sons home!
Artisans is;
-a great workshop with a lot of expensive gear you don't have to buy!
-has the benefit of Peter's strong experience and creative problem solving support
-safe and comfortable (again; the right gear including personal safety gear and dust extraction gear on all equipment)
-is a beautiful place to hang out and get "lost" in a project
I am very happy to recommend anyone to develop an idea for a project and talk to Artisan's about getting it done.GRAHAM G | MAY 2019
A great place to stay
This is our fourth or fifth visit. We are always made feel welcome and comfortable by Peter and Christine. The breakfast is generous with plenty of options. A very, very pleasant place to stay.

智海 | FEBRUARY 2019
We had reason to be together as a family (10 of us over 3 generations) and Peter and Christine’s place was perfect. Plenty of room. Many bathrooms. A BBQ and veranda with lovely rural views. And a library of movies with something for everyone. We were even able to make a choice that we watched together. And Peter’s cheer and hospitality were welcome.

Great place to visit and stay
Our entire family enjoyed our visit and stay at Artisans. Peter and Christine are excellent hosts. Both are great with kids and all 4 of ours enjoyed the activities. Well worth a visit and a stay.TRENT | JULY 2019
A very beautiful and unusual Gallery
This place was very different from expected all of the craft on display was incredible. The makers are obviously artisans not hobbyists. Some of the pieces I couldn't figure out how they were made. Then to top it off Peter took us on a tour of the workshop to show how some of the work was made FascinatingRALPH | APRIL 2019
