Hazel Studio in the beautiful Forest of Dean

Unwind, de-stress and relax in our light, airy, comfortable, self-contained, modern studio a few yards from our cottage in Hangerberry. Hazel studio is situated on the edge of the Wye Valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty and the North West edge of the Royal Forest of Dean. Stay includes self-serve breakfast. Easy to find and a perfect location for a long weekend or a longer stay to enjoy this beautiful part of the UK. Overlooked by nothing but trees, lie in bed and watch the stars. The space Our studio is open plan with a kitchen and separate shower room. Stay in and cook or visit one of our friendly local pubs for home-cooked food or the village Fish and Chip shop which is 3 minutes walk away. The kitchen area has a full size cooker/grill, a toaster, electric kettle and all the pots, pans and utensils you will need to cook light meals while you stay. The shower room also has a pedestal sink, toilet, heated towel rail, a hair dryer, toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, face soap and body wash) and constant on demand hot water. The sitting area has two comfortable chairs and is equipped with a flat screen TV and DVD player with a selection of movies. The heating system is separate to our cottage and at your control. We now have dedicated superfast fibre broadband and a desk, chair, work light and a surge powerlead in the studio. We will stock the studio with breakfast ingredients including a range of organic and herbal teas, freshly ground and instant coffee, a variety of cereals, organic milk, fruit, home-made bread, organic butter, spreadable butter, peanut butter, marmite, and a selection of jams and marmalades. The bed is an English double (4'6") size with a brand new hypoallergenic luxury spring mattress and organic cotton bedding. Please note that you need to be able to climb stairs as the studio is one flight up from the ground. There is a washing machine and dryer available downstairs for guests who have booked to stay longer than a week. We have storage for up to 3 bikes in our shed with a facility to lock them to a bolted on, internal fixing. We don't supply chains or padlocks and storage is at your own risk. The space is extremely clean (check out our reviews). All bedding and towels are washed at 60 degrees, bedding is always steam ironed and we clean and sanitize all surfaces between reservations. The studio has anti-bacterial spray and hand sanitiser for guest use. Guest access The studio is completely private. It is a separate building to our cottage and has it's own staircase leading up to it. Apart from a very small balcony with a bench, there is no other outdoor space included with this property. There is free on-street parking next to our little garden. Other things to note All potential guests please note: The studio has low ceilings in places. Our studio is a loft with velux windows. If it rains and you are a light sleeper, you may hear it on the glass....please bring earplugs :) Please make sure you check out our location in the Forest if you are thinking of booking the studio. It's very easy to get to lots of other places such as Coleford, Monmouth and Ross on Wye from here and I'm very happy to answer any queries you may have before you do so. We live next door so if there is anything you need or can't find, or any local information you want to know that we haven't provided, pop round and ask us, or give me a call. Everything that is listed on the advert is in the loft, so please look in the drawers to find the frying pans, hairdryer etc....:) There is no hot-tub, garden or outside space (apart from a bench on a very small balcony outside the studio door) included in this listing. We are in the Forest of Dean, so access to the countryside is a few minutes walk from the property. There are a lot of birds here. You definitely will hear birdsong, owls hooting etc....you may also be really lucky and see badgers, wild boar (do not approach them) and deer..... I am happy to offer a 10% discount for solo guests. Please enquire before you book so I can adjust the calendar prices. We have had and are very happy to have families with one to two children (max) however the open steps to the studio are a safety issue and we do not supply bedding or beds for children. It may be suitable for you if you are happy to monitor your child in and out of the space and are able to provide bedding and are happy to all be in one room. See previous family reviews and please enquire with your details before booking... (July 2024) Finally I have just lost my superhost status as the studio has been closed for most of this year due to ongoing family commitments, so sadly I have not met the number of bookings needed. I hope to be able to open it a bit more later in the autumn and next year. There is some improved furniture and I will be posting new photos soon.
