The perfect painting holiday, with award winning artists.
Enjoy a residential art weekend with expert tuition for all levels in the heart of the magical Blackdown Hills AONB.
Sitting on the border of Somerset and Devon, our landscape was immortalised by The Camden Town Group of post impressionists, who a century ago were drawn to paint the area’s extraordinary natural beauty, much of which is unchanged to this day.
Let the outside in
Surrounded by 32 acres of mesmerising woodland, meadows and a clear babbling brook, the retreat is a truly beautiful place to indulge your artistic nature.
Learn from the best
Enjoy small art classes of just 6 to 8 people as our visiting professional artists guide you through the 2 day weekend courses, to suit all levels from beginner to the more accomplished.
Choose from four comfortably and stylishly appointed double rooms in the main farmhouse, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served using the freshest local ingredients, prepared by chef Marc Jerem.
