WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED:
Flights to and from the UK.
Holiday insurance.
*Four guests travelling together: Unfortunately, although the studio is large enough for 4 guests, the sleeping accommodation isn’t. If you are a group of 4 friends travelling together, we can help you find suitable accommodation locally, but you would need to hire a car in this instance – there isn’t adequate public transport and our (current) car is too small for 4 guests. In order to make this option both affordable for you, and feasible for us, there is a reduced price for these sewing holidays. The studio would be available from 10am until 5pm for 4 days, and I would still be available for tuition as/when needed according to the holiday chosen/description. You’d still have use of the guest sitting room/kitchen on those studio days, plus of course a shower-room for the wc and use of shower etc. The garden/pool and sitting room/kitchen/bathroom is available during the day (10am – 8pm) for the whole week of your holiday, not just on the studio days.
