I have only recently started offering the studio out as holiday accomodation, and have been delighted and thrilled at the fleeting connections with the guests I have hosted.
I wish your stay at the Empty Nest studio to be comfortable and relaxing. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to ask; I will do what I can to meet your needs.
Geraldine has such a lot to offer, from boutique independent shops, a cinema, theatre and great places to eat.
Home of Barker's chutneys, jams and so much more, there is also a great Cheese manufacturer, Geraldine Cheese and even a gin distillery!
Geraldine has excellent biking and walking tracks, and is just a great place to be!
