**A perfect little coastal escape – 10/10!**We had a wonderful long-weekend stay at Jan and Jim’s studio on the beautiful Sapphire Coast. It was the perfect little retreat, thoughtfully designed, exceptionally comfortable and full of lovely personal touches.Jan’s communication was absolutely first-class from beginning to end. She was such a thoughtful and welcoming host, even sharing some delicious homemade ginger cake with us — a lovely gesture that made our stay feel extra special.The studio itself was immaculate, with a gleaming bathroom, a comfortable bed and a well-equipped kitchenette with all the essentials, including utensils and wine glasses. The temperature was perfect throughout our stay, and we didn’t even need the heater, although Jan had kindly left an extra blanket should we need one.Despite being situated beneath the main house, the studio was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Access from the street was easy, with good lighting and plenty of on-street parking in the quiet residential street.One of the unexpected highlights was the beautiful green valley setting, along with the purpose-built garden planted with native species that attracted an abundance of beautiful birdlife. It was such a pleasure to sit back, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.With the beach and coastal walks so close by, the location is ideal for a relaxing Sapphire Coast getaway. Every detail has been considered, and Jan’s genuine hospitality makes the experience all the mo
