Reviews for Quirky Workshops at Greystoke Craft Garden (formerly Cycle Cafe)

Thank you for another wonderful course! I am thrilled to bits with the beautiful jewellery I made, it was such an enjoyable couple of days. Melinda was a great tutor. Thank you so much and see you at leather making workshops in July!

Very many thanks, Simon, for the inspiring and immensely practical course. I had wanted to try stonecarving for years.

You will see me again at one of your future course if I am lucky!

Gill said she felt all of her 84 years as we staggered back to the car with our lumps of stone - and my muscles this morning tell me which ones I used yesterday.- but we had such a wonderful time.

Thank you again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Silver Jewellery workshop. The tutor was excellent and very patient and encouraging. I was delighted with my results and it has certainly inspired me to get more tuition in the art of silver smithing. The Greystoke cafe certainly looked after us with a lovely lunch and superb refreshments. It was certainly one of the best workshops I have been on

Staggered at what I was able to make on the course. Really enjoyed the whole experience from the venue, home baking to the support provided on the course. Thank you so much, will definitely come again.

Melinda was lovely and absolutely brilliant at her craft. She was very patient and positive. She always complimented our work but at same time gave advice and guidance. Annie was also really lovely and made everyone feel right at home. The lunches and cream teas were gorgeous and the property is absolutely beautiful set in an idyllic village. I would highly recommend the whole experience.

Welcoming,rural setting with tasty,nutritious food.
Facilities are in renovated Cumbrian farm cottage and outbuildings -comfortable and spacious.
The venue is run very well by Annie.
Simon is an attentive tutor,whose skills in Stonecarving are amazing.
He is friendly and supportive - and manages to produce good works from his pupils by attentive and directed instruction. He makes the course very enjoyable and successful for all on this introduction to Stone carving.

A really excellent and inspiring course.

Really enjoyed the day ... thank you so much for your patience and help to ensure we all came away with a lovely herdy. Will be back!

I have had a fantastic day. Annie was wonderful and I can't wait to come again for the hare workshop!

Dear Annie ... I wanted to thank you for organising such a great stone carving course last week. It was perfect in so many ways. Simon was inspirational and great fun, the folk on the course were friendly and fun too and as always the catering, venue and attention you gave were exemplary. Have planted the land cress too! Thank you so much for everything - kind regards Anna.

The most fantastic day at the Quirky Workshop and to round off the great company, lunch and coffee with a super herdy doorstop. Annie you have been amazing, thank you so much.

Excellent day - good atmosphere - good food - good workshop - thank you to all involved.

Very enjoyable and relaxing day. Many thanks.

Fabulous day, fabulous food. What more can I say?!

Great workshop, lovely lunch and teas. Brilliant teacher - thank you.

Brilliant course - my second time. So easy to do and yet the results are so impressive. Plus you get to take so much home. Excellent value for money. Dave is an excellent teacher. Annie's hosting is a joy as always and the food is yummy!

Great day. Interesting and well worth the money. Another value. Nice food again.
