"Amazing place everything you could want."
Nice and Claire perfect hosts providing a fabulous welcome pack and their full support if needed. Cannot fault anything and Hope to return.
-
"Probably one of the best properties we’ve stayed in."
Didn’t want to leave it. A case of the photos not actually doing it justice! Beyond tasteful!
-
"All we can start with is what an absolutely stunning property, by far the best we have stayed in during our 8 years using Sykes."
Everything you would need for a relaxing peaceful stay, with many walks on your doorstep and places to visit. Thank you.
-
"Wow, what an amazing place to stay!"
The building is so different, with a huge living space divided into a living area and a studio on a mezzanine level. Down a few steps is a well equipped kitchen and library with a glass wall giving views of a bridge and waterway where we were able to watch a kingfisher. Everything was spotless, warm and imaginatively designed, making it a wonderful environment to unwind in. The hosts were the perfect combination of being helpful but unobtrusive.
-
"Great place to explore the surrounding countryside."
Lovely place to stay.
-
"We cannot rate this property highly enough."
It was absolutely stunning. Everyrhing was though of to make our holiday as special and relaxing as possible. Watching kingfishers flying past while you have breakfast was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back.
-
"The Pump House Art Studio is probably the best ‘cottage’ we have stayed in."
It is quite simply stunning, beautifully furnished and in a fantastic and peaceful location. It is incredibly clean and has everything you need for your stay. We were welcomed by Nic, one of the owners, who really cared that we had a lovely time. The generous welcome pack was very much appreciated by us. We would highly recommend this luxury accommodation and plan to return in the future.

"A beautiful building and surroundings, it makes you feel relaxed and well just being in that amazing space."
Well equipped & spacious, owners really friendly and welcoming.
-
"The Pump House is a fabulous character property, beautifully furnished by the owners with art works on the walls."
The location is wonderful , with plenty of walks right on the doorstep, and is a great place for nature lovers. We saw a kingfisher every day of our stay, on one occasion it was perched right outside the kitchen window as we ate our breakfast. Highly recommended !
-
"Our holiday was from July 6th to 13th."
The cottage is absolutely beautiful, in a lovely quiet, peaceful location. Fab hosts. Highly recommended. Lovely walks in gorgeous countryside. A really peaceful holiday.
-
"What a beautiful place the owners created here."
The renovation has been done to very high standard, with obvious thought & care and all the small touches that they've made really make the difference. Peaceful & tranquil. A hidden gem that will be revisited.
-
"We had been looking forward to staying at the Pump House for several months and can safely say that the property exceeded our expectations."
We stayed for three days and, aside from a few leisurely strolls, spent our time enjoying the space and tranquility. Every detail has been carefully considered creating the perfect environment for rest and relaxation. Thank you Nic and Clare for your warm welcome and for sharing this wonderful space.
-
"Fantastic property ran by fantastic hosts."
We were provided with really useful and informative details by Nic prior to arriving at The Pump House. Spotlessly clean and a lovely welcome pack to start us off. Everything you need has been catered for,and if you want a relaxing environment,this is the place to come to.Favourite room was the library,with a coffee and a good read! Lots of local places to visit,would recommend 100%,thank you so much.
-
"Absolutely stunning!"
Every last detail thought out, we really enjoyed our stay. The pictures of the property are fab but it's really more breathtaking in real life. A must stay and we will be booking again for next year.
-
"What a fabulous place!"
We so enjoyed our short break at the Pump House and feel sure we’ll return at some point. Everything was perfect, just everything. The studio facilities were superb - if the weather had been awful and we’d been stuck inside we still would have had a great time - we needed down time and it certainly gave us that. The local walks were glorious too - bird life for my wife and photographic opportunities for me. The icing on the cake was meeting your neighbours Neil & Alan who were just lovely. All in all a holiday to remember.
-
"PERFECT."
-
"We loved our stay in this outstanding property."
What an absolute gem. Special thanks to the very kind and thoughtful owners whose artistic vision and hard work made our stay so memorable.
-
"This is a stunning property in a wonderful peaceful location with good walks direct from the door."
We hadn't been to this area before so spent quite a lot of time driving to the many places to visit highlighted by Nic and Claire in the information books. The roads were significantly quieter that we are used to in Sussex which made the visit more pleasurable. We could easily have stayed in the property in peace just looking at the wonderful scenes outside the windows. A top notch place to stay!
-
"Wow! What can we say, a truly stunning property in a lovely location."
Warm, comfortable, with everything you would need for a truly relaxing break. The decor and finish keep your interest throughout the stay. We walked daily from the Pump House, along the River idle in different directions. Plenty of walks to choose from. We ate at a couple of the restaurants,bistros that the hosts Nic & Claire had recommended. Thank you to Nic & Claire for all the information they provide, the lovely welcome pack on arrival and just their warm, friendly but not intrusive help if required. Absolutely no doubt we will be returning and recommending the Pump House Studio to others.

"This property is first class in every way 5 stars plus"

"Places like this are rare."
Amazing and rare. If only all holiday accommodations where so well thought out, so well hosted and delivered the relaxing calmness of our stays in the Pump House Art Studio. Touring the UK in the last few years we’ve stayed in a lot of holiday cottages, the Pump House Art Studio is still one of the best and most outstanding accommodations we’ve experienced. Revisiting a property is rare for us, but the mix of hosting, accommodation and facilities works very well and this visit was our third. The property always feels special and an honour to experience. It’s well maintained, perfectly clean, always a delight. A space to breathe and calm, reset the soul. For us, a place to read, cook, yoga or walk. The views from the property are heart calming and the walks on the doorstep easy and flat, river side and canal side – although perhaps a little muddy, but the Pump House Art Studio hosts do provide wellies if required. The kitchen design allows it to be flexible to be social or a pastry cooks delight and it is spotlessly clean. A large granite worktop/long island accessed from all sides, suitable for food preparation, baking, socialising, or eating at (although there is also a lovely eating space in the main room or outside in warmer weather). The bathroom still feels and looks new. It offers a lovely comfortable bath with good water depth for a proper long soak and hot water is plentiful. Although a shower over a bath isn’t my preference, here the clever shower screen folding back so as to not inhibit the bath’s side at all is fantastic and changes the whole experience. And equally, as a shower, it’s great. It’s these small details that give this place the edge. Although the property has no fixed blinds or curtains, within the bedrooms dark conditions for sleep can be achieved with cleverly designed removable window coverings that sit within the window at night and are then hung up to the side, in the day time. And we found these could be positioned to allow for some ventilation if the windows to be opened. This décor decision allowing the full majesty of the windows within the building, as well as the views beyond, to be enjoyed. And on many occasions of our stays, a golden sun-rise to be experienced fully through the large window at the back of the property. Although skipping downstairs first thing in the morning it’s useful to know that the stairs’ window looks over the river idle and a quiet footpath; I’ve never yet surprised or been surprised by an early morning walker, but it’s something to note – perhaps ensure you take something to throw on for making that early morning cup of tea! The Pump House Art Studio hosts have got it just right. Their pre-arrival email informative, essentials at the beginning and then things to do locally and further afield – all of which they have done so they know what they’re recommending. And their information packs on arrival are equally impressive – easy to use and beautifully presented. And if you have a question or concern, they are speedy to answer and helpful in response – yet not intrusive in any way. Again a perfect balance. The property itself, is like staying in a museum of taste, art and space. An ode to our industrial past, made into the space that is comfortable, tasteful, educational and outrageously spacious. With original art works on the wall, classic furniture pieces, space, happy green living plants, a heritage printing press in the large entrance, welly pegs and heritage coat hooks made from nails manufactured on site during its industrial past – and its comfortably done allowing visitors to relax and find that holiday bliss. All this sitting in a delightful nature setting with views of water, sky and nature. Once again, I can only highly recommend this place and give it a 5 star plus review on all counts.

"Lovely, quirky, clean and spacious accommodation with the added interest of the adjacent river and country walks."
Misterton is not that far away either. Despite it's size, the Pumphouse was warm, comfortable and well appointed. We loved it!
-
"I visited from Greece for a week to stay with friends and had the pleasure of staying in The Pumphouse."
I thoroughly enjoyed my time and I can only describe my time there as perfect. There was nothing better than sat in the library with a nice cup of coffee reading my favourite books. We’re struggling to somewhere as unique for our next winter break!
-
"I spent a week in the property on my own before being joined by friends and family over the Christmas period."
For the duration of our stay, everything was fantastic. Nothing was too much for our hosts Nic and Claire. All the little extras made our stay even better! No other word can be used other than outstanding! Thank you for a great stay, we’re already looking forward to returning.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in these superb surroundings."
Our host Nic was very welcoming, friendly and informative. The Pump House was fascinating, and very well appointed. We loved the whole experience of staying there.
-
"What an amazing place!"
We loved every minute of our two week stay at The Pump House. The property is very comfortable and well equipped. We could have easily spent the whole holiday without leaving the property, discovering its quirks, enjoying the artwork, the library, the stunning views from every window. Watching the kingfisher, stoat, deer and other wildlife outside was a delight, as was listening to the owls after dark. We did force ourselves to leave the Pump House though, and discovered nice walks along the beautiful River Idle and Chesterfield Canal nearby. Misterton is a pleasant village with a well stocked supermarket, excellent butcher and a great chippy. The Pump House is also a great base for exploring the many attractions of the region, including historic Lincoln, National Trust and other grand estates, and many nature reserves across Notts, Lincs and Yorks. It was a privilege to spend time at The Pump House. Nic and Claire are fantastic hosts and wonderful custodians of this incredible property; we thank them very much for an unforgettable holiday.

"We thoroughly enjoyed a very relaxing stay in these amazing surroundings."
Our hosts were welcoming and really friendly, without being at all intrusive. The house was fascinating, and very well appointed. We loved it!
-
"“Ada” was everything I had anticipated…… I revel in quirky abodes with castles and towers and railway carriages and treehouses amongst my portfolio of previous stays."
And to be on an SSSI site was simply perfect to feed my interest in natural history. Utterly wonderful…..my sincere thanks to Nic and Claire for allowing me to enjoy what they have created at The Pump House.
-
"Our first stay at The Pump House Art Studio – and already booked to return!"
I don’t usually write reviews but I felt compelled to on this occasion. The pre-arrival information from the hosts was well thought out and helpful. On arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Nic and Claire. When we entered the studio, it definitely has the ‘wow’ factor. It is spacious, full of natural light, spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. You cannot fail to be impressed. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. We’ve been lucky to stay in a lot of holiday properties, but the experience at this one beats them all. There’s plenty to do in the area including Gainsborough Old Hall and Bawtry. There are a couple of pubs a short stroll away but the Art Studio is so great you don’t want to be away from it for long. We really didn’t want to leave this unique property and can’t wait for our next visit. Thanks Nic and Claire.

"We are so pleased we found this amazing property."
We've already booked our third visit. Summer time offers two great out door spaces, one at the front and a larger one at the back. Winter offered a well heated beautiful building with many different places to sit and read, or just watch the views, wildlife and sun rise/set. The design detail in this property is outstanding. Nic and Claire, the hosts, have thought of everything. The property in "the real" was even more fabulous than the images. Nothing prepared me for the space, height and tranquillity. The landscape and town beyond offer great gentle walking, on dykes, riverside or by canal. The butchers (with banter) and coop offered us everything we needed for self catering - both within walking distance. And on days we wanted to treat ourselves there was the outstanding 80/20 Pantry deli/cafe (daytime) for some outstanding food, as well as a takeaway/eat in fish and chip shop. Again both within walking distance. We didn't eat in the pubs but we did walk to one which served food, it was busy with customers eating. We enjoyed a shandy outside watching the river. This holiday venue is fab especially if you're looking for easy going luxury offering time to leave the car parked and want to enjoy nature, good food and reading. Although saying that if you want to drive, there is also much on offer.
-
"The property was not only unique but presented perfectly for our stay."
Every detail had been thought through and executed fabulously including the very generous hamper of lovely local produce supplied by the wonderful owners. We have stayed in a lot of excellent properties over the years but this had the wow factor for sure. The history of the property is very interesting and added a different dimension to our stay and the views and general location were beautiful. I’m sure in nicer weather it would be even more stunning. We were just interested in a relaxing time but all the local facilities were excellent and you are not far from all manner of civilisation if that’s what you want. I can’t recommend this property highly enough and I’m sure we will stay here again.
-
"This property was a delight, every detail was gorgeous."
It was so light and airy, such a large space and yet so welcoming and comfortable. It felt like you'd been invited as friends rather than guests to share in the unique art and design reflective of the owners lives, passions and careers. I was blown away by the care and detail of all the beautiful and practical features. Thank you for sharing your property and art.
-
"Yet another wonderful stay at The Pump House."
How to convey how much we love this place? Apart from being superbly comfortable, immaculately clean, very spacious and well equipped, unique in style and history, it has an unmatched quality of peace and tranquillity. In our view Nic and Claire are the consummate hosts. Whilst they are never intrusive, they always respond immediately and generously to our needs, always greet us warmly, and in so many ways make us feel incredibly welcome. We love watching all the wildlife, the deer, fox, mink, kingfisher, moorhens and more. What could be more pleasant than sitting with a coffee or a glass of wine, on the sunny terrace, watching the brilliant kingfisher repeatedly diving for his dinner! This is a fantastic place which we cannot recommend highly enough, and to which we cannot wait to return!
-
"We had a wonderful week at The Pump House Art Studio."
The house is spacious, bright and comfortable. There are some great spots around the house that give different views of the water and the interesting wildlife that lives on it. We enjoyed watching the moor hens and their chicks and spotted a woodpecker, a kingfisher and a mink. Outside has a comfortable table, chairs and umbrella and a nice grassy area. There are fantastic walks either way along the River Idle and the Chesterfield Canal is close and pleasant for a stroll. Nic and Claire were welcoming and helpful. We would recommend a stay here without hesitation.
-
"We really enjoyed staying here."
This building itself is unlike any we've stayed in before. The restoration has been done really well, with lots of thoughtful and interesting touches. Lovely, quiet location. Friendly & helpful hosts. Loads of info on what to see & do in the surrounding area e.g. Hemswell Antiques Centre, Welbeck Abbey, etc. Very much looking forward to a return visit.
-
"Amazing place to get away for a few days."
Nic and Claire were welcoming and warm. A wonderful hello from them to complement a great building and grounds. We would not hesitate at all to recommend it or the walks to go on when there.
-
"What an amazing place to stay."
A beautiful secluded location, fantastic property and amazing design. Everything we hoped for an more. Thank you Nic and Claire.
-
"We had a lovely, restful break at the Pump House, the setting is wonderful and the conversion of the building is fantastic with enormous attention to detail."
It was like a home from home, everything we needed to feel comfortable was provided, especially in the kitchen. Nic was also very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Pump House.
-
"The Pump House is simply stunning!"
Right from the start this property did not fail to impress. The open plan living space was so comfortable, the kitchen had every item you could think of, the library an added bonus and a beautiful room to take morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, the bed was so, so comfortable, the rainfall shower just divine.... I could go on and on! The attention to detail was amazing, from the artwork available to buy to the little touches like paintbrushes, frames and oils scattered around. We were very lucky with the weather and went on some beautiful walks, there are pubs in both directions around 20 minutes walk. And finally thank you to the owners Nic & Claire who were very informative and even left us a welcome hamper! Perfection :)
-
"What a fabulous place!"
We had a March booking so we were a little worried it might be a bit cool given the size of the rooms, but not a bit of it - in fact we were turning the heating down ! Nic and Clair were great hosts and must be complemented on the fantastic job they have done with this property. The interior design and artwork is top notch whilst the property is also really comfortable to stay in and spotlessly clean. Our only complaint...... having to leave.
-
"Nic & Claire have created something quite special; the Pump House is a very comfortable place to stay."
It is unique in design and you want for nothing when you arrive it’s very pleasing to the eye with all the facilities you need. You are surrounded by nature and there are lots of good walks to explore the area during your stay. Nic & Claire are great hosts, very friendly and knowledgeable about things to see and do during your stay. It felt special to be able to stay at the Pump House. Thank you.
-
"The Pump House is an amazing place to stay, whether to appreciate the abundant wildlife from every window and from the sun trapping waterside terrace, or the wonderful detail throughout the stunning structure with its fascinating history, or simply to enjoy the peace, privacy and tranquility of this unique place."
Nic and Claire are incredibly thoughtful and gracious hosts, who are providing an immaculate, perfectly equipped home with crisply dressed, comfortable beds and interesting touches at every turn. We absolutely love it here hence this is our second stay here this winter, and definitely won’t be our last!
-
"We spent three nights at the pump house to see in the new year and all four of us agreed it was the best holiday rental we’d never stayed in."
Firstly, Nic and Claire were brilliant hosts. Welcoming but not overbearing in any way. They also left some welcome goodies in the kitchen which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Secondly, the pump house is a seriously stylish place to stay. Every single item’s positioning has been carefully considered and it’s that attention to detail which makes the Pump House Art Studio so special. Nic and Claire have thought of absolutely everything you might want when you’re away from home. Board games, books, wellies, bluetooth speaker…you name it and Nic and Claire have thought of it. Thirdly, if you’re after a good night’s sleep you’ll definitely get it here too. The black out shutters are amazing ensure you’re in absolute darkness. The linen on the bed was beautifully crisp and the beds were super comfy. There’s also a couple of pubs nearby and within walking distance, but you won’t want to leave the pump house for too long because it really is a very special place to stay. We honestly wouldn’t have changed a single thing and would go back in an instant

"What a place this is."
5* From the moment we arrived we were made welcome by Nic and Claire. There is surprise around every corner at The Pump House. Attention to detail is fantastic. Every stone turned at The Pump House tells a little story. Information provided is endless. The scenery is fantastic from every position (internally and externally). The walks are endless and can be done in any direction. The artwork is stunning, and in every corner of The Pump House. As said before, every corner tells a story whether though artistic impression or attention to detail on a really sympathetic restoration. Staying at The Pump house caused quite a stir with friends from the local area who (as children) had played in the ruins. Everybody had a tale to tell about this place, and in turn only added to the drama of our stay. We were fortunate enough to have stayed over Christmas and this added to what I can only describe as a truly magical stay at The Pump House. Thank you Nic and Claire. Ooh forgot to mention the Kingfisher were also absolutely stunning. Thanks again. Glynn & Lisa.

"What a totally stunning and beautiful property, both inside and out."
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Felt like we were living in a dream it really was idyllic, cannot praise enough and have to mention the lovely owners too. Would love to go back and would definitely recommend.
-
"We were greeted by Nic and Claire and made to feel very welcome."
They had ensured that the accommodation was excellent with lots of interesting touches. The location was very good with plenty of walks and interesting places to visit. What made it really special was the building and its history. It was fascinating discovering bits of architecture and engineering from it's past.
-
"What a perfect break away in the UK."
Visited a part of the country we had never been to and it was awesome. The Pumphouse is everything you could wish for a complete get away in the country, away from traffic, alongside the river and within walking distance of pubs, grocery store, post office, butcher etc. The building is superb, we actually cooked in every night of our 7 night stay as we just loved being there; we would have tea in the library in the morning and watch the wildlife; I'd do yoga in the garden (idyllic); we would read lying on the chaise lounge on the mezzanine; have dinner on the patio watching the sun go down - absolutely could not fault. Nic & Claire (the owners) were so lovely, and allowed us free use of their fresh herbs they grew (which we did). Would highly recommend this accommodation and look forward to going back in the future.
-
"We had a wonderful week in the Pump Room, Misterton with our two boys (12 and 14)."
The accommodation was stunning and so immaculately clean. The views of the water out of nearly every window were wonderfully relaxing and communication with the owners was faultless. We would definitely like to go back soon. Thank you so much.
-
"The art studio catered for all you could possibly need."
It was a beautiful place to stay and extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Pump House and all we can say is what a wonderful place!"
Great location for the surrounding area with some beautiful walks along the canals and easy access to local attractions and quirky villages and towns. The place itself was so very relaxing with great light throughout and filled with inspiring art. We have come to end of our holiday feeling especially refreshed!
-
"Great property."
Old building with contemporary interior which has been completed to a high standard. Bedding was super comfy we had a trouble getting up in the mornings. The accommodation has everything you need. Great location for walking or cycling as it’s flat. We visited Lincoln city which is definitely worth the drive. Hosts Nic and Claire are really friendly. On hand should you need anything but not intrusive in any way. Saw lots of wildlife including kingfishers. Probably one if the best places we have stayed in
-
"What can i say!"
.... everything about this holiday was perfect, from start to finish. Nic and Claire were wonderful hosts and had thought of absolutely everything. Nothing was ever too much trouble, communication was great throughout. The Pumphouse was stunning, such a joy to chill out in, so different to any other holiday let we've stayed in. From the great artwork scattered around the place to the amazing views from different windows. Lots of wildlife to be seen and something new to spot everyday.. rabbits, foxes and beautiful birds. The area is fab too, nice and quiet, and only a short walk to the village shop (and butcher which was great) or to a few local pubs. We walked along the canal and rivers most days enjoying the all scenic views. All in all, if you'd like somewhere to fall in love with..The Pumphouse is the place to go for sure! We would definitely return to this beauty!!
-
"Amazing property."
I've recommended it to so many people. If you're looking for something unique this is it. We're going through a really stressful time at the moment and this place had such a calming effect. It is like living in an Art studio/museum but in a really great way. You feel comfortable staying there and its been very well thought out. I'd love to see it in the various seasons, I'm not artistic at all but I've been raving about the light at different times of day. The owners are in the other part of the property but this isn't intrusive in any way. You might see them to wave across the water but that was all. We've rarely gone back to the same property twice but i absolutely would here.
-
"What a lovely place to stay."
The Pump House is an impressive, quiet, picturesque and interesting place to stay. I stayed for 10 days and could not fault it. Misterton and the area is also lovely with a number of pubs and eating places opening up and only a short walk. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed it so much we have already booked for a second visit. Thank you

The property
Originally built over 160 years ago, The Pump House Art Studio is a special and unique, Grade II* listed property.
Formerly a working pump house, used to drain excess water from the The Mother Drain, dug in 1790, into The River Idle, it has been transformed into a stunning, contemporary art studio and holiday let.
Settled in the village of Misterton in northern Nottinghamshire, The Pump House Art Studio is one of two identical buildings, named by the Victorians Kate and Ada, one being the owners' home, each with dramatic chimney stacks and connected by a beautiful glass walkway over the water.
Follow the rural country lane up to the property and admire the scenic surroundings before parking up and entering into the beautiful living space - be impressed by huge windows flooding the area with light, dramatic high ceilings and an array of stylish furniture to relax on, surrounded by fantastic artwork by the owners and other local artists.
Enjoy watching TV, quirkily propped up by an easel, whilst lounging on the long sofa, or sit at the impressive dining table as you plan your next adventures.
The property is full of interesting items and furnishings, as well as a vintage press sitting beneath the mezzanine.
Discover a wonderfully styled kitchen with grey subway tiling where you can get creative with the array of cooking appliances, with a unique breakfast bar island to perch at and pop open a bottle of fizz to toast to your fabulous escape.
Enjoy peaceful moments in the library, with two plush seats to relax in and a large window offering views over the water.
A further tranquil living space can be found up on the first-floor mezzanine, featuring rustic timber beams, an original arched window and further beautiful seating.
Settle down in one of two double bedrooms where the décor continues to impress, both served by a sleek and fully tiled bathroom.
Enjoy spending time out in the well-kept garden, whether alfresco dining at the outdoor patio furniture or sunbathing on the lawn.
Take a stroll down into the village of Misterton to discover all you need for your self-catered stay, including a Co-op, several takeaways, a great fish and chip shop and a pub, or amble off road along The River Idle to The Haxey Inn for the Sunday carvery.
The surrounding area is a wonderful haven for walkers with lots of countryside to explore and walks along The Idle and The Chesterfield Canal.
Yards away from your front door is The River Idle and its surrounds with an abundance of great British wildlife including kingfishers, buzzards, owls, heron, woodpecker, moorhen and numerous birds!
The Art Studio is sited directly on a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) - Head down to Idle Valley Nature Reserve to admire the striking wetland scenery.
Head for the medieval city of Lincoln to see the incredible cathedral and adjacent castle, or perhaps visit The International Bomber Command Centre and memorial if you are interested in WWII history.
Or for excitement there's the big cats at The Yorkshire Wildlife Park or Doncaster Races, home of The St.Leger Festival.
Delight in peaceful afternoons on the green at Thornock Park golf course, attend a riding class at the local equestrian centre, or stay closer to home and spend time fishing on the stretch of the River Idle which the owners have rights to.
Enjoy the wonderful countryside surroundings on your relaxing escape to the historic, Grade II* listed wonder that is The Pump House Art Studio.
