The Studio

The Studio, Woolhope, is a spacious, open plan, first floor apartment, providing ideal accommodation for two people in a wing of the owner’s Swedish House.
Double and triple glazed windows, high levels of insulation, central heating and a whole house ventilation system ensure very comfortable, light and airy yet cosy accommodation in both summer and winter.

Dappledown is on the edge of the small and pretty village of Woolhope only 6 miles from Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Hereford, with two outstanding eating pubs within walking distance and surrounded by miles of beautiful walks in an AONB. The woods and common only a mile away from The Studio have SSSI status for butterflies, moths and wild flowers on the unique geology of the Woolhope Dome. Detailed maps of a selection of walks are provided for your use.

Facilities at The Studio include dining table with chairs, leather sofa and chair. Freeview TV with DVD and Wi-Fi. A comfortable double bed, lots of wardrobe and drawer space. The kitchen provides ceramic hob and electric oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, etc. The shower room has a spacious thermostatic shower, toilet and basin. There are binoculars and board games, plus a swap library of books.

Your raised, decked patio garden with table and chairs overlooks an open meadow with two magnificent oak trees and towards broadleaf woodland. A carpet of wild flowers in early summer gives way to grazing sheep in the autumn and provides home for buzzards, woodpeckers and many other species of birds. You will see woodpeckers, nuthatches and all sorts of small birds on the feeder outside your window.

This is England as it used to be. Buried in beautiful, tranquil countryside with very little traffic, but close enough to visit all the many festivals and attractions in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, including the 3 Counties Show and Garden Festivals in Malvern, Three Choirs Festival, Ledbury Poetry Festival and Hay on Wye Festival of Literature, to name but a few.

There is no grocery shop in Woolhope, but we do have a farm shop offering their own award winning, Pork and Elderflower sausages, along with beef, cheese, eggs, bread and vegetables in season.
