Lesley Homer reviewed: Country House Crafting Retreats in rural Hertfordshire

"Brilliant weekend. Great venue, delicious food. So good to lay out all your bits and leave them there all weekend. The best part, though is the company. Lots of like minded ladies, all willing to share their expertise. Linda is a lovely person who makes it all happen and shares our love of crafting of all kinds."

"Such a lovely weekend, first time I’d been with my friend and it was clear that this was a regular retreat for some ladies - they made us feel so welcome, great value for money, accommodation was clean and tidy (and you hardly spend any time in your room when you have 24hr access to your projects). Food was tasty and lots of it (loved the homemade cakes on offer all day), beautiful grounds to walk in, I’ve not found anything quite like it that gives you the freedom and space to do your own projects you’ve brought with you, we’ll definitely be back!"

"Just back from four days here, my first longer stay. Had a wonderful time, relaxed, shared and learned skills& made friends. It’s a lovely place to stay, good food and pleasant grounds to wander in. I managed to complete a lot of scrapbooking, my favourite craft. Having room to spread everything out and interrupted time to work is great. Highly recommended. I have booked two weekends for next year and may try to squeeze in another."

"Great value for money, lovely atmosphere and well organised. Linda takes care of the details so you can devote your time and attention to your crafting. This is my second visit and my only slight negative this time is that the lighting is poor in the main craft room when daylight fades. As Linda suggests, you must take your own table top lighting."

"One of the highlights of my year !!! I share a room with my mum, which is fun in itself ! From start to finish it’s full on fun and crafting... we try and stay up as late as possible to get as much done. Crafting rooms are huge with plenty of space to spread out. The food is excellent and plentiful!! You can have a go at different workshops and learn something new. I love the page challenges, the page swaps and the evening game/quiz . All set in beautiful grounds and run by the very lovely Linda. What’s not to like??"

"It was my first workshop on Scrapbooking and I absolutely loved it! Linda is superb as an organiser, always helpful and efficient. I had lots of opportunities to do my own thing, learn new techniques and get really good tips. The people in my group were fantastic - generous with advice and tips, their crafting stuff and so very friendly and warm. It was a welcoming, supportive and most of all, fun environment. I would absolutely love to go back - I've already signed up for the next two workshops! My only advice would be - be quick to apply! Places get filled fast, which is no surprise, given how wonderful and experience it is."

"This was my 3rd year at Memories& Photos & as usual was a very relaxing & enjoyable weekend. If you want the opportunity for 2 days of uninterrupted crafting, good wholesome food prepared for you 3 times a day, unlimited tea/coffe & biscuits, a clean comfortable room & a huge craft space then this is the venue for you. Add to that a beautiful old house with attractive grounds & the chance to meet many like-minded people. Perfect!!"

Lyn Norman reviewed: Country House Crafting Retreats in rural Hertfordshire

"A really relaxing weekend with a lovely location. The freedom to do as much or as little as you wanted to join in. This enabled me to go for a couple of really beautiful walks in the grounds. Lovely food and clean, fresh room. The timetable of events was clearly laid out and the optional 'breakout' sessions so that you were not always sitting in the same location were a great idea. Very friendly folk who were happy to share ideas. I'm already booked on the next available one! thanks for a brilliant time , Linda!"
