 THE STABLE SUITE

Shack up in the countryside with a bathtub in the bedroom and squashy sofas beside the log burner for late night wine, plus David Spiller's LOVE print to drop even more hints...

+ brownie points: Share a quintessentially English afternoon tea and champagne in the cosy pub for the perfect treat for two...

THE GRAND SUITE

Sometimes it really IS about the grand gestures. The Grand Suite ticks all the boxes with four poster bed, enormous bathtub, fluffy robes and plenty of lounging space for lazy mornings.

+ brownie points: Sip on a 'French Kiss' or 'Jack & Rose' cocktail in our candlelit cocktail bar.

LAST CHANCE TO BOOK!

Stay with us before February 13th 2020 to get 3 nights for 2 on the Cornish coast. Think blustery beach walks, cosy pubs and toasty open fires...the perfect antidote to those January blues.

With a range of lovely dog friendly rooms to choose from and plenty of rolling coastal walks to explore, why not bring your pooch along for the ride? The Cornish Barn also welcomes your pups, so they can help you sample all of the delicious Cornish goods we have to offer. 

FANCY A LAST MINUTE CITY BREAK?

Once upon a time we were swept off our feet by the quintessentially English charm of a little thatched farmhouse-turned-pub just a few miles from Oxford...The Mason Arms. With a colourful past and a fair few stories to tell, the derelict building instantly sparked our curiosity and we knew that taking Artist Residence to the depths of the countryside was our next big dream!

A far cry from our other places in London, Penzance and Brighton, the pub is tucked away in the quiet hamlet of South Leigh...but that's not to say it's all pipe and slippers! With neon signs by Andy Doig, a felt grocery cabinet by Lucy Sparrow, vibrant street art by Ben Eine, floral wallpaper, comfy sofas and frilly lampshades...stepping through the doors is a bit like stepping into a wacky friends place - the fire is lit, the atmosphere jolly and the armchairs squashy. 

We'd like to think that once you sit down, you might just stay all day...

Of course it wouldn't be an inn without some sustenance. Our chefs let the local Oxfordshire produce do the talking with their chophouse menu - high quality meat from local farms and root veggies pulled up from the kitchen garden, charred on our Robata grill and served simply, without fuss. All followed by proper puddings like your nan used to do - sticky toffee pudding anyone?

With a warm, cosy and indulgent night of eating, drinking and making merry out of the way, there's not much left to do but head upstairs and bed down. Maybe take a bath. Read a book. Have a cuppa. It's a slower pace of life in these parts, so take some time to get into the groove.

Want to take your Sunday roast to the next level?  

You need some super sides!  

Here's a favourite from The Mason Arms kitchen...

We've teamed up with our faves, Anthropologie, to celebrate the opening of their new store down the road in Oxford. One lucky winner will receive a midweek stay at Artist Residence Oxfordshire with cocktails and breakfast included PLUS an immersive beauty experience with LA-EVA, the organic skincare specialists.  

Sounds pretty dreamy right?!

It''s been a long 3 months since we closed our doors, and it hasn''t been the same without you! We are so excited to finally be able to announce that bookings are now OPEN for the following dates:

Penzance: Friday 10th July

Brighton: Friday 17th July

London: Saturday 25th July

Oxford: Friday 7th August

We will of course be making some changes and adhering to the necessary safety measures and precautions in order to keep our guests and teams safe, but this won''t change the experience of staying at Artist Residence. It''ll be safe, but also as fun, friendly and homely as ever.

We can''t wait to see you again soon!

With the first blossom appearing on the streets of London town, it feels like we might finally have Spring in our sights...and there''s no better time to visit London than when the pretty streets are lined with pink blossom and lilac wisteria. 

To mark the arrival of a long awaited end to the Winter blues, we''ve put together a list of some of our favourite floral spots in the capital to explore this Spring...

What better place to start your Springtime adventure than with a trip to Columbia Road. Get a real taste of London culture with a wander through this renowned market full of blooms galore, plus quaint cafes, boutiques and London pubs aplenty.

AR tip: be sure to head down early to avoid the crowds!

Take a stroll around the grounds to take in the amazing collection of flowers, trees and greenery. Kew are currently running their annual Orchid Festival, and this year they''re celebrating the beautiful florals from Indonesia - even more reason to head out West for a dose of natural beauty. 

AR tip: Head upstairs in the Temperate House for the best views and Insta shots!

The iconic Chelsea Flower Show returns this Summer from 19th - 23rd May, and with AR London just around the corner, what better excuse to book your stay?! With designers this year focussing their displays on climate change, enjoy quintessentially British day out this Spring.

AR tip: Pop into Cambridge Street for brunch first to fuel you up for the day!

2020...what a strange and unsettling year it''s been so far. We''ve stayed at home, tuned in for daily press briefings, clapped for our carers, baked A LOT of banana bread & sourdough, done pretty much anything and everything via Zoom and REALLY got to know our own four walls. A lot has happened, and a lot hasn''t happened, with weddings, parties, celebrations and holidays cancelled and postponed.

But all is not lost!

We''ll be opening our doors in Penzance on Friday 10th July, and whilst we will of course have all the necessary precautions in place, we''ll still provide the fun & friendly atmosphere of staying at Artist Residence, with a hearty, homely menu of fresh Cornish produce served in the Clubhouse and Summer tipples flowing in our sunny terrace garden. 

It''s not too late to enjoy the Summer!

Now that we can slowly start to see glimmers of ''normal'' life returning, we thought we''d shine a light on the things we can do a little closer to home this year. So here''s a mini guide to our little corner of Cornwall, where everything revolves around the sea, and life is more than a little bit laid back...the breath of fresh sea air we could all use right now.

Why not avoid those ''please don''t leave me'' puppy dog eyes and take your furry friend with you on your next springtime adventure? We have dog friendly rooms in Brighton, Oxfordshire and Penzance, and for every pooch that comes to stay, we''ll have a cosy dog bed, bowls and some Lily''s Kitchen organic treats ready and waiting for them.

Dear Friends of Artist Residence,

As you will know, hospitality businesses have now been asked to close their doors due to the ever-changing COVID_19 situation, and so it is with heavy hearts that we will be doing something we never imagined we''d do, and will be closing all of our hotels from Monday 23rd March until Thursday 30th April.

Our reservations team are working to get in touch with all guests who have reservations within this time to reschedule, arrange credit or refund bookings, please bear with us if you''ve not yet heard anything as we will be in touch as soon as we can. You can also email the team and they will be on hand to respond from 10am - 2pm from Monday - Friday.

We really hope to be back up and running as soon as possible, so if you have a booking with us and you''re in a position to do so we would be incredibly grateful if you could reschedule your visit or keep credit on your account and give us the chance to welcome you to Artist Residence later in the year.

We will of course keep our current amended 24hr cancellation terms in place for bookings made or rescheduled during this period, so you will still be able to cancel at a later date should you need to - we know this is an ever-changing situation and will do whatever we can to ensure you have nothing to worry about when placing a booking with us.

We really are incredibly grateful for anything you can do to support us at this time - whether that''s by rescheduling your visit, making a booking for later in the year, or even purchasing a gift voucher. It truly will make all the difference to our teams and the business.

We hope you are all keeping well, and staying safe, and we look forward to seeing you once the dust has settled a little.

Justin & Charlie
