The hour before dark on the terrace, and the water is exactly where it needs to be. 🌿✨

You lit the wood-fired heater about an hour ago. The string lights are on. The lantern on the dining table holds a single flame. The hot tub sits there, unhurried, fed by a fire you built yourselves with a match and a stack of dry logs.

This is what carbon-neutral luxury actually feels like at The Studio. It is slower than an app. It asks you to notice the smell of woodsmoke, the shift in the light, the quiet that settles over Draycott when the day lets go.

The overcast sky above the Mendip Hills holds the heat in. Cheddar Gorge is five minutes down the road, but from this terrace, you are not going anywhere.

Most self-catering places recirculate the same tired air all weekend. The Studio doesn't.

The door to the terrace is open, and the air moving through the room is the same air moving through the Somerset fields outside. Even when it's closed, a quiet ventilation system keeps drawing fresh air in, gently, continuously. What you breathe inside is genuinely clean.

Add the skylights, that soft overhead light warming the room without a radiator working for it, and something shifts. Shoulders drop. Sleep goes deeper. You wake up clearer without quite knowing why.

Guests tell us this all the time. They don't always have the words for it. They just say the place feels different. Lighter. Easier to be in.

That's the design doing its quiet work. No stale air, no humidity, just a room that knows how to breathe with you 🌿

Ashley called it "just such a wonderful place." We think the terrace had something to do with it.

From above, you can see the whole scene at once. The wood-fired hot tub steaming gently. The alfresco table set for two. String lights threaded overhead, a chiminea ready for later, and a private garden wrapped around it all.

This is where Ashley spent a few summer evenings listening to the birds, soaking under the Somerset sky, with Cheddar Gorge a short stroll away. A romantic getaway in the truest sense. Quiet, unhurried, entirely your own.

We built this corner of The Studio for exactly these moments. Nobody overhearing your conversation. No schedule but your own. Warm water, warm light, and the kind of stillness that's harder to find than it should be.

If summer is asking for a proper pause, the terrace is waiting 🌿

Come soak up an evening of your own. Book direct at www.thestudiocheddar.com ✨

At around 8am, the skylights do something to this room that no lamp ever could.

The light pours straight down through the roof, catching the grain of the floor, washing across the dark sofa, settling around the pendant like it belongs there. You can't fake this with styling. It only happens because the building was designed to let it in.

This is what Scandinavian design actually means to us. Nothing unnecessary. Everything in its right place. The geometry of the pendant, the warmth of the timber, the quiet weight of the sofa anchoring the room - none of it was added later. It was built this way from the ground up.

We didn't dress The Studio for a photoshoot. We designed it to feel like this every morning, whether anyone's watching or not. You feel it the moment you walk in, and again with your first coffee, when the room is doing all the work and asking nothing of you 🌿

Most guests arrive planning to spend the whole stay in the gorge. We get it. It's spectacular.

But the best moments we hear about over breakfast usually happen elsewhere.

The Strawberry Line, a flat, traffic-free railway path through Somerset hedgerows, starts just down the road. Cave-aged cheese at the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company tastes nothing like the supermarket version, and you can only buy it there. And Root in Wells, fifteen minutes away, holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason — vegetable-led, seasonal, quietly brilliant.

Three small detours that turn a good Somerset trip into a memorable one 🌿

"The hot tub at night with the stars out, nothing like it."

That's what Sarah and Tom wrote after their stay. From above, you can see exactly what they meant.

The wood-fired tub steaming under string lights. The dining table set for two, candles flickering. Quietly around it all, the Somerset countryside.

We designed the terrace this way on purpose. Everything sits within easy reach and stays tucked away from view. The fences keep the neighbours out of sight, there are no passing cars, and the only soundtrack is the wood crackling and whatever you brought with you.

Summer evenings here have a particular rhythm. Long light, slow dinner, late soak. The kind of night that ends with you looking up and realising you haven't checked your phone in hours 🌿

Light does the work, if you let it.

The skylight pulls daylight deep into the rooms, so the lights stay off until dusk. South-facing glass warms the space in winter. Our solar panels make more power than we use, and the surplus quietly powers somewhere else in Somerset while you soak, sleep, and slow down.

Out here in Draycott, just five minutes from Cheddar Gorge, our wood-fired tub climbs to 39°C without touching the grid for heating.

We didn't chase features to make the Studio greener. We stripped things back until only what mattered was left 🌿

Luxury and low-impact live as one decision here, made well.

"Comfy bed, quiet at night, stylish and clean."

That's how Edward described his stay, and it's the kind of review we love most. Not loud. Not over the top. Just the quiet truth of what a proper rest feels like.

The king bedroom was designed for exactly this. Hotel-quality linen. Soft skylight glow. Scandinavian stillness that lets your shoulders drop the moment you walk in.

Edward also mentioned the hot tub became a favourite part of his evenings, which tracks. There's something about wood-fired warmth under a Somerset sky that turns a good stay into one you remember.

Thank you Edward, for the kind words and the five stars 🌿

Natural light flooding in. A deep sofa. Nowhere you need to be until tomorrow.

This is the part of the holiday no one photographs. The book that slips sideways. The slow blink. The moment you stop checking your phone without deciding to.

We designed our space Scandinavian-inspired and softly lit, built for the kind of August afternoon that turns into evening without you noticing.

Cheddar Gorge is a five-minute drive. Our wood-fired hot tub is waiting on the terrace. But first, the sofa 🌿

Dusk settles over the gorge, the string lights flick on, and the wood-fired hot tub starts to crackle. That's the moment our guests tell us they finally exhale.

Edward summed it up after his recent stay:

"Lovely apartment with everything you need, plus extra luxuries. The hot tub was a great addition to our evenings. Very convenient for exploring Cheddar Gorge and Wells." ★★★★★

This is what we design for. An eco-built retreat that doesn't ask you to choose between sustainability and comfort. Scandinavian lines, warm timber, soft light, and a hot tub heated the slow way, by wood and patience.

Days spent wandering Cheddar Gorge and Wells. Evenings spent doing nothing at all, beautifully 🌿
