The Potters Retreat

Welcome to The Potters Retreat, a warm inviting space located in a beautifully converted stone church in the quaint village of Alton! The apartment with private entrance has been recently updated and features two spacious bedrooms, each with king-sized beds, large windows and one and a half bathrooms. The space The Potters Retreat offers the best of both worlds; enjoy the tranquility of our small village, while being just a short distance from local attractions. You will find everything you need for a comfortable stay: cozy Turkish cotton bedding, luxuriously soft and plush bath towels, handmade ceramic dishes and mugs for all your meals and coffees, custom locally made body products, included wifi access, a large smart TV for streaming movies and shows. We designed this space for artist retreats, but it is also perfect for couples and families looking for a little getaway The upper level of the church is a private ceramics studio. We run small group classes a few times a year. Should your stay happen at the same time as a class, we will do our best to let you know before booking. Private classes are available on request (subject to availability). Guest access Guests will have private access to the unit with parking for one car plus free street parking on the same street. Other things to note This unit is in the (walkout) lower level of a historic church with a pottery studio upstairs. You may hear some noise from studio activity during the week. It is mostly myself and one other potter working in there, I do host the occasional group workshop as well but there is very little noise transfer. The building has air conditioning and is controlled from the upstairs unit. Due to it being a stone building it stays between 67 and 72 degrees throughout the hottest months of the year and we have not had to worry about adding a separate unit for cooling. We have a new furnace that keeps it warm throughout the winter months.
