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. Christine D 5/5 Alan Williams WorkshopThis 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 inspirationalAccommodation and facilities are absolutely first class. PeterJohn 5/5 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 projectI am very happy to recommend anyone to develop an idea for a project and talk to Artisan’s about getting it done.Graham G 5/5 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.Tracey B August 2019 5/5 Relaxing hideaway This is our second visit and the standard was fantastic again.
