Y August 2023

“A completely incredible hidden gem of a haven where you arrive and instantly feel more than at home.”

So peaceful and tranquil. 10* immaculately and faultlessly clean. We found so much love and thought has gone into creating this incredible space and place for the absolute perfect break away. No wide-angle lenses used when photographing both inside and out. The views are breath-taking, absolutely stunning – there are no words to begin to describe this! Beautiful fresh clean bed linen. The kitchen has an immaculate counter size fridge with a small built in freezer area, two hob electric cooker and oven below, microwave, toaster, kettle (all absolutely pristine), and every utensil you may ever need! A really lovely welcome hamper of ground coffee, sugar, tea, cookies, cheese biscuits, dog treats, milk in the fridge, a bottle of vintage cider, and beautiful fresh flowers. In the bathroom there’s a nice clean shower (sink and toilet of course!). Again this space was immaculately clean and really nice, there’s an ironing board, washing machine, clothes airer, hoover etc. A super super comfortable sofa, TV, selection of DVDs, board games, really good wifi. The grounds/garden around the studio are full of mature trees and beautiful plants. The place is set back away enough from the owners house for you to enjoy your own personal space and break away. Area wise, loads to explore - travel any direction from the studio and you will find fantastic food, natural beauty, history, walks and just wonderful really genuinely friendly people (just as the owners). Thank you so much for sharing this amazing space and all the thought and hard work that has gone into creating the haven you have. We had such a wonderful break away and cannot wait for our next break away with you. 10 stars from us, with kindest regards Lee and Eve and Rosie sends much love x

“We very much enjoyed our holiday at the Studio, it was so relaxing and peaceful with lovely views.”

The studio had everything we needed and was comfortable and welcoming. It was a great location for exploring and there was lots of information for the local area. Although we didn't meet as the owners were away Jane was very friendly and helpful on the phone and we had a delightful stay.

“A lovely property which we have now visited twice.”

Jane was very friendly and welcoming, and went above and beyond her duty of care when I had left my mobile phone behind. She managed to contact my wife and we were able to turn around and return to retrieve it. We were very grateful. The property is a lovely, quirky, cosy place and we very much enjoyed our stay, and would recommend it highly. Thank you, Jane.

Annabel & Zak Aug 2022

“We have had an amazing week here at the Studio.”

We felt very welcomed and enjoyed the welcome treats, we thought the fresh garden flowers were a lovely touch. It’s been a lovely home from home where we’ve felt comfortable and relaxed. We have been blessed with the sun shining all the week, making the views beyond the garden and our days out all the more spectacular. We would love to return in the near future and will definitely recommend a stay here to friends and family. Thank you so much!

Christie October 2021

“We had an absolutely lovely cosy week away.”

The treats on arrival were absolutely lovely. The studio is well equipped, very cosy and welcoming. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They met us on arrival with some information about the studio (despite our horrific journey and being so much later then we originally advised we would be). Lovely little village and close to a few different national trust sites.

- Christie, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Kenneth October 2021

“The studio is a lovely accomodation for two, set in very rural Somerset.”

Comfortable, clean and well equipped, it's the ideal bolt hole to chill and relax after a day touring this beautiful area. Many attractions within 20 milesany direction of the studio. We had a lovely stay.

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Maxine August 2021

“Enjoyable stay at Trister studio, although must say we had a few bruises getting used to the apex beams.”

Views were stunning but would benefit from a glass balcony to appreciate these when sat down. Studio is well equipped with everything you would need despite being compact. Not sure about the abundance of fluffy cushions for hygiene reasons, and recycling bins meant a trek down every day to fill 5 different ones as no space upstairs. However the place & surrounding areas were delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

- Maxine, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the views. We do mention the low beams in the description and in the booking confirmation box. We'll make sure to forward your recommendations to the owner and looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner
Ben July 2021

“The studio gave us exactly what we needed, a week away from everything to relax and recover from a hectic few weeks.”

perfectly situated away from the world, it was amazing to just relax. the weather stopped us from going outside too much but still a nice relaxing time was had.

- Ben, July 2021

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. Property Owner
Russell July 2021

“We came to Somerset for a chill out week with our dog and by staying here we certainly managed that.”

Jane, out host, was welcoming and went beyond what she needed to do to make sure our stay was one we would remember. The apartment was exactly what we needed and once we had got used to the perils of living in a loft conversion, we had everything w needed but it was the people of Somerset that made our stay and Jane epitomised that’ in every way

- Russell, July 2021

Thank you so much for such wonderful feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay and the people of Somerset (Jane included!) made your time there so memorable. You're always welcome to return to Trister Studio in the future. Property Owner

Abigail April 2021

“Trister Studio, is a little gem, nestled in a quiet valley, with beautiful vistas from the balcony during the day and an ocean of stars at night.”

You will find everything you require for your stay, with a huge cushion laden sofa to chill out on after a day of adventures. Your welcome will be warm and helpful, I enjoyed the wonderful welcome basket of goodies. It is a beautiful place, so if you can trot up the stairs to the loft & remember the eaves above the comfy bed, you will have a delightful stay in an area that offers plenty of walking and historic areas to visit. I had a wonderful, peaceful stay, so enjoy !

- Abigail, April 2021

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Trister Studio. Its wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed staying at the Studio. We will pass on your comments to the owner and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

“Jane was a wonderful host and the property and grounds were lovely.”

Beautiful views, quiet and full use of the gardens. Easy to do a Covid secure handover too.

- Eleanor, April 2021
Karl April 2021

“Location and accommodation are great and as we needed a pleasant break we were very impressed .”

Close to 303 for day trips and the accommodation veranda was good for peaceful evenings in. Wanted for nothing at the studio and Jane was attentive to check we had everything we needed. Will definitely book again.

- Karl, April 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely comments on Trister Studio. We look forward to you returning to the studio in the near future. Property Owner
Sharon October 2020

“The cottage was lovely and as described.”

The owner gave a covid friendly welcome and was reassuring when I rang her prior to the visit to check what covid cleaning regime she followed. Fantastic views and walks from the cottage. Wincanton was close by and had everything we required. The settee looked comfortable but was actually really uncomfortable. Anyone taller than 5”10 will need to mind their heads as the beams are low at the sides. All in all a lovely break in a high standard cottage.

- Sharon, October 2020

Thank you for your lovely feedback on Trister Studio. We are glad you enjoyed the views and walks from the property. Of all the reviews on the Hideaways website the issues you have raised have never been flagged up as a problem. However, we will pass your comments on to the owner. There is also a section of the sofa that backs on to the kitchen area, as shown in the pictures. This is well away from the beams and there is more than enough room for two people to sit in comfort. Hideaways Property Owner
Sarah October 2020

“A very warm welcome from the owner.”

Lovely studio apartment. Very well thought out with everything you could need for a short break. Beautiful views and gardens. Lies within easy reach of Glastonbury, Salisbury, Wells etc Not within walking distance of local amenities but they are only a short drive away.

“One of the most comprehensively stocked holiday lets it's possible to find.”

The lovely owner, Jane, has thought of absolutely everything possible to make guests happy and comfortable. Stunning views from the balcony and plenty to do and see in the area. Don't miss Stourhead with all the beautiful autumn colours.

The owner will be delighted to read your comments and we hope you visit again soon. Property Owner
Alan J October 2020

“We had a lovely stay at this property despite the weather being pretty awful.”

It has all you need for a comfortable stay. It is compact but definitely cosy. The view over the surrounding countryside is fabulous. The owner is very friendly and made us feel welcome on our arrival and supplied us with some milk, tea and coffee but also biscuits and some flowers - all very much appreciated.

- Alan J, October 2020

We are glad the weather did not spoil your stay at the cosy Trister Studio. Property Owner
Paul September 2020

“It’s a lovely location and a short drive to local pubs and walks.”

The accommodation is clean and cosy with beautiful views of the valley. We made use of the balcony for breakfast and lunch. It’s a great for quiet romantic getaway.

- Paul, September 2020

It sounds as though you had a wonderful stay at Trister Studio, thank you for you lovely comments. Property Owner
Michael September 2020

“Lovely owners with unique holiday home.”

On the downside had to take our car everywhere as the lanes around Trister are very narrow with no footpaths so not suitable for walking with dogs. Owner does let you use their extensive lawned garden for dogs to play in which ours loved.

- Michael, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback we are happy to hear you had a lovely stay at Trister Studio. We are so sorry you weren't able to discover the many lovely walks available right on the doorstep of the cottage that are accessible without the need to go onto the lanes. Property Owner

Lynn November 2019

“We really enjoyed, our stay at Stoke Trister, the views are just absolutely beautiful.”

It is perfect to chill, walk the dog and there are lots of nearby places to visit. My mobility is poor so we never go to far, but as the flat was comfortable and warm it was a pleasure to come back after a short trip out. The owner Jane was, so welcoming and kind, the whole week was perfect. Our dog Luther adored it with lots of walks my husband could enjoy with him. Although the kitchen area is small it is very well equipped. The surprise treats were a real delight! Thank you for a most enjoyable stay.

There are plenty of places to visit all within about an hour or so drive-time, whether travelling North, South, East or West. Alternatively you can sit and soak up the sun and relax the time away at the Trister Studio. Had great weather while we were there and enjoyed the holiday and look forward to returning there in the near future.

Nicola May 2019

“This was a fantastic property; peaceful, pretty and close to many local places to visit; the garden was beautiful with outstanding views from the little balcony.”

We were able to sit out and read in the sun and listen to the birds and sheep. The lodge was lovely and cosy with freebies of cider and other goodies. It is positioned up a narrow lane - but close enough to get to the A303 for travel. Jane is a lovely host and we felt comfortable being in their grounds.

- Nicola, May 2019
Simon May 2019

“The studio was lovely.”

Very clean, cosy, with a well stocked kitchen. It is easy to find, and looks over stunning grounds and fields. My only two negative points, the first is that the listing indicated free wi-fi, which was one of my search filters and important, and when I arrived it was noted that whilst there was wifi, we were polityly being asked not to stream anything, or download large files. I went there to do some writing and research, which required listening to podcasts, YouTube. I also stream music, and my preference is to watch netflix rather than terrestrial tv. The weather was pretty grotty, fortunately, I had the work I wanted to do, but other wise, I could have been stuck with things to do. So I think free wifi on the listing was misleading, and maybe limited wi-fi should be noted. Jane the owner was very nice about it. She did increase the quota of data on her contact (because I'd used so much with pod casts & youtube) and I then upgraded by phone contract to include more data. Neither was really ideal, when the listing could have included these details from the get go. This is more of an issue with the listing on the website, rather than anything negative about the property or the landlady Jane who was lovely. The only element to do with the property which I didn't get on with very well was the shower, which had a very poor power/flow; so not enough water came out it to properly cover you, or to wash your hair easily, so I was cold in the shower. It could do with a more modern version of the Mira units maybe, my parents have one and it is just like a power shower.

- Simon, May 2019

Many thanks for your feedback. Trister Studio is very popular and has a lovely owner, Jane who always goes out of her way to ensure her guests are happy and enjoying their stay, thus resulting in continuous positive feedback. As it states on the website, there is “TV with freeview, DVD, WIFI”. Although WiFi is available it is not unlimited and there is a polite notice which refers to this in the Studio. However, with an average use of the internet this limit should not be an issue. If a guest wishes to stream large files, download podcasts, YouTube, stream music, Netflix etc. then it is advisable to check with the owner first as this would be considered more than recreational use. Despite using up almost over half of the monthly allowance in 2 days, the owner straight away upgraded her allowance to accommodate despite never having had any issues in the past. Had the WiFi been unlimited, a realistic usage is to be expected unless otherwise requested by the guest. Due to the unusual high usage in a very short period of time which resulted in urgent alerts from the provider to the owner, it was only really queried with the guest as the network is unsecured and as this had never happened before, the owner just wanted to ensure that the system wasn’t being used unauthorised by an outside user. Regarding the shower, this will of course be looked into, however, as this is a Studio which is situated away from the main house where the water is supplied from, the pressure will always be less. However, this issue has never once been raised by any of the many previous guests. This owner always does a meet and greet and always encourages all of her guest to let her know of any issues and requests to ensure the best possible experience. Property Owner

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We have just got back from 4 days at The Studio.”

It is truly spectacular with absolutely incredible views. We took our 2 whippet dogs with us and did lots of long walks, right from door of The Studio - there are so many footpaths to explore within 5 minutes walking distance of the property. It was wonderful to come back to after a day out in the fresh air in the surrounding landscape, sit down on the sofa with a cup of tea and look out across the beautiful scenery. It is a magical place to stay. The owners are lovely and more than happy to do anything for you. Everything you'll need is provided in The Studio. If you have the opportunity to stay here, please do, you won't regret it. We're certainly going to be returning!

“Wow, what a lovely place, we wore ourselves out.”

The kind owners said we could use their garden to play ball and run around. They also kindly left us some doggie chews and our owners some cider and biscuits. We visited lots of lovely places and did lots of walking and playing. Our dad owner was on the verandah nearly all the time. All in all a lovely place to stay with views to die for. Wonderful places to visit and lovely welcoming people. Thank you so much.

We''ll be highly recommending you to family and friends and will be sure to leave a glowing review on the Hideaways site.

The views from the balcony are exceptional, the owners are very pleasant and The Studio is very comfortable. Above all, the welcome that Somerset provides is something that I will treasure!

“I had a wonderful time here and the weather was very good to me.”

If you're a cider drinker, walk down to the Unicorn pub; he has won adwards. Jane is a very special lady and my dogs enjoyed the company of some visiting doggies. Thank you. Will return.

“Booking the accommodation was very easy and the directions clear and precise.”

Our welcome gifts were very much appreciated and the view is awesome. Property owner was very lovely and we will most certainly be returning for another quick break. Property was spotless and cosy. We had a really nice time.

“We liked actually everything in and around this lovely barn.”

We felt immediately at home. The view from the terrace is beautiful. Dorset and Somerset are very nice. We consider certainly to return.

“Me and my partner stayed here in June last year.”

The views were beautiful, and it is very close to some amazing restaurants and shops. Plus only an hour away from amazing places to visit. The apartment was very clean, and we both loved the way they left some goodies for us for when we arrive. Was very thoughtful. We both will definitely be back. Thank you.

The property

Wake up to a view that will simply take your breath away!

Located in the rolling Somerset countryside, Trister Studio is a gorgeous, romantic bolt hole that offers a 'proper' escape from the hustle and bustle.

Detached and away from the owners' home this wood clad barn conversion is a sweet,simple and comfortable home from home, which the owners have revived and improved into a very pretty country hideaway.

From your elevated position you can delight in the fine views over Blackmore Vale and once you've donned your walking boots (with your dog if you have one!) you can head into the surrounding countryside for some truly memorable walks.

Inside your accommodation is an open plan space, furnished attractively, and though compact, it is just perfect for peace, tranquility and relaxation.

Outside you can roam around in large gardens where you will hardly see another soul!

The Studio offers a comfortable and stylish 'hideaway' in very attractive surroundings, perfect for a brief escape, or longer to an interesting area.

Although situated in the grounds of a larger house, it is far enough away to ensure complete privacy for its guests.

Absolute bliss! Note: Bed situated under eves of studio, as per picture.

Please be careful of the low beams.
