Itâs also a great location for visiting the area and Fulbourne has good amenities. The owner Jeff is very friendly. However, the shower room/wc is tiny and the shower itself is the smallest we have ever come across. Upstairs, the sloping roof means that there is very little space to stand up straight without constantly banging your head. The upstairs living area in general is a bit tired and could do with a refresh. The outside space is nice but a little overgrown. Itâs an old building so keeping it clean is always going to be difficult but there were a lot of cobwebs everywhere particularly over the bed and in the shower room. All in all, we wouldnât return.

The village was lovely with access to everything you could need for your stay and great walks. Local pubs are dog friendly. The Studio is in a lovely location and is so peaceful. There are lots of really amazing places to visit close by. It is warm and has all the equipment you need. However,the ceilings upstairs are low and sloped and the shower room is small and could do with a more powerful shower. Saying that, we did enjoy our stay.
