During the lockdown, myself and my wife Marilyn embarked on a project to create a unique boutique studio, to offer a sense of fun and glamour and recreate the Bond era. We sourced items from many sources including Pinewood studios and Christie's auction house. We live locally and are usually on hand to ensure that you have a very enjoyable stay. We also have an excellent housekeeper and a locally based maintenance manager.
