Stayed at the Vinegar Hill Pottery B&B when attending their 3 day pottery course at the weekend. The course was fantastic. As an absolute beginning I couldn't believe how much I learnt. The Raku firing was amazing and I came home with some stunning pots with more on their way after firing. Others on my course were a mix of abilities but all stressed how good the course was. The B&B was charming and the family atmosphere was great. Looking to go again in the future.

Having treated ourselves for a day out, my friend and I went down to do a beginners day course. What a great day it was. Everyone was so friendly. Dave who was having to put up with us for the day, could not have been more warm and welcoming. His energy and patience was unending with everyone, constantly helping, explaining and encouraging. Concentration levels, were quite high but they had organised well timed coffee and lunch breaks with homely food and drinks, a complete treat. Dave’s instruction’s were always well paced and clear with his aim to get everyone to achieve their masterful creation’s whilst having fun. I achieved much more than I thought was possible, pots, bowls, and plates and what I loved even more, was that they are made from stoneware which is totally versatile and can even be put in the dishwasher, so they aren’t just ornamental. Due to the nature of pottery, we weren’t able to glaze and fire so the studio will do that for us and will be ready for collection in a few weeks and although they will deliver them, I will be using it as an excuse to revisit them. I did find myself filing down my nails during the lunch break to make things easier, so maybe gels might not be your friend! I came back home completely pumped and will definitely be looking to do the three day course. Thank you Dave and Lucy.

My wife and I went to VHP for a one day pottery course and had a fantastic time. A big thank you to #demodave for brilliant instruction and a fun day out. Can’t recommend enough, although be warned they are so popular that the book up well in advance!

Dave and Lucy are the perfect hosts. Accomodation is quiet and perfectly furnished. Breakfast is served in the room tasty large croissants, cereal, fruit & yoghurt fresh orange choice of tea, coffee (decaf or normal/ instant or fresh) or chocolate so relaxing. Pottery lesson delivered with patience. Loved every 2nd of our stay. Village only 8min walk has a rang of restaurants and pubs amazingly homely & welcoming.

Fabulous pottery class. Dave was a very good teacher and patient. Class of 9 so he had plenty of time to help all of us. Elevenses!! Yummy homemade cake and lunch was delicious. A great day and left feeling good and improved on my pottery skills. Well worth a visit

Amazing day on a pottery lesson .... Dave is amazingly talented and very patient .. 9 people all novices, and he did us all proud .. the lunch was amazing as was the brownies and coffee for elevensies...!! Highly recommend a visit, I will return

Such a lovely day course taught by Dave. I was so shocked at how we all managed to master the wheel and create so many of our own pots in a single day. Thank you for the experience - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We did not stay here as my husband became unwell with Covid and was hospitalised. The hosts were unfriendly and not understanding to this but still insisted we honoured our booking. We WOULD NOT recommend due to the unfriendliness from our experience.
