I had the best time at Basford. No word of a lie, I could spend every day for a year shooting here and I’d find something different and unique every time. The natural light is beautiful, the house is immaculate, the surrounding grounds gave such amazing opportunities. I seriously underestimated the amount of time I’d need to get the most from this location.

Miss C was a fabulous host and model, always ready with a cuppa and absolutely nailing it in front of the camera.

I already have my plans to come back for more and I cannot wait!

My second visit with the whole day booked for an AM shoot with resident model, MISS C, in the morning, and then a duo shoot in the afternoon.

Once again made to feel very welcome on arrival with no rush getting packed up at the end of the day.

I absolutely love this cottage, it has so much potential and opportunities to get creative throughout the property. I love the huge windows and altho it was overcast, I used it to create more silhouette and moody style images in the morning, along with plenty of other sets including boudoir.

The afternoon was filled with fun cosplay sets, taking advantage of the drawing room, chaise lounge, dining table and the fireplaces, with Miss C kindly shooting some behind the scenes for us.

I cannot recommend Basford enough, it is an outstanding photography location where I can't wait to visit again, sentiments echoed by both models.

For me, this is a must visit location for any enthusiastic or creative model or photographer, and I promise you will not be disappointed!

Had a shoot here yesterday with the lovely mick & jody.

What a beautiful place.

Every inch is stunning.

Well laid out & presented for endless possibilities, I could of spent all day here shooting.

Loved the personal touch in the dressing room too, a little welcome note personalised.

The owners are lovely & made us feel so welcome.

Thank you for a lovely experience and hope to be back soon.

Highly recommend coming here.

Sunday was my third visit to Basford Hurst Cottage.

It is a most wonderful place, full of character and oozing natural light. There are of course also many options to creat your own light too.

The owners, Miss_C and her partner are the ultimate hosts and they're if you need help but vanish discretely when you don't.

It has become my go to destination when funds allow and it's great that it is nearby so that last minute opportunities can be grabbed.

Well done for bringing this wonderful location to life and sharing with us creatives.

If you haven't discovered it yet I strongly advise you check it out soon.

Thanks again for another wonderful day

This was my first visit and I hope I will get back there again. I attended a lighting workshop with Owen Lloyd and Nicole Rayner, and having seen lots of images of the house it lived up to expectations ample space, lots of options, and a generally great space to work in.

Looking forward to returning soon, and would definitely recommend for a greta location shoot.

What can I say about Basford Hurst Cottage Studio, which hasn’t been said by others!

All my shoots here have been great, you always receive a warm friendly reception, all the rooms are magnificent. I can highly recommend this Studio.

This was the fourth time I had visited Basford Hurst although the first when my model and I were the only people shooting. As everyone here will be aware, Basford Hurst is a superb location and in this instance made more so by our being the only ones there. When solo shooting there the choices of locations within, and without the house are many and varied. Needless to say my model and I took full advantage of this, although we only scratched to surface of what is possible.

As you will no doubt have guessed I am a huge fan of Basford Hurst, and this time my model and I stayed over.(Separate rooms of course.) The friendliness and hospitality shown to us by Leanne and Simon was wonderful and added to what was an amazing shooting experience. I can heartily recommend staying overnight should you need acommodation, as well as photographing, there. It really is a magical location and I have already booked again for next year to explore more of the gorgeous and unique shooting opportunities available.

Highly and enthusiastically recommended.

Visiting Basford Hurst for the first time, I had high expectations and these were more than surpassed during my time there. The studio is immaculate, with a wide variety of sets indoors and beautiful grounds to shoot in. To add to the charm of the house, Basford Hurst has a fabulously equipped dressing room.

During our two night stay myself and the photographer were able to experience the incredible hospitality of Leanne and Simon. They kindly accommodated every aspect of our stay, with personal touches that showed Leanne's dedication to giving guests the best experience and undoubtedly improved the quality of our work while we were there. Leanne entrusted me with her gorgeous corn snake Noodle and made us feel like valued members of house throughout our visit.

I cannot recommend Basford Hurst highly enough and greatly look forward to returning.

Another perfect shoot at this incredible venue. Leanne was the perfect host as always. Every part of the venue is spotless and beautifully set out. Without doubt one of the best venues I've shot at. Highly recommended. Thank you so much 🙏

It’s a long drive from my home to Basford Hurst Cottage, but well worth the effort. This was my second visit, this time to shoot with Cariad Celis. The external landscaping had been finished since my previous visit and looks great.

As before, Leanne, the studio owner, greeted me with a cup of tea and a warm welcome. Whilst leaving us to get on with our shoot she was always available when we needed something, none more so than when the heavens opened whilst we were outside, and we needed towels to dry off.

I wanted to use natural light inside the house even though the weather was poor, and it was quite dark. Nonetheless, we found places where there was a lovely soft light making for some great images.

I hope to return soon on a bright day.

This was my second shoot at this prestigious photographic location although I have been there on several other occasions. Since my last visit the gardens renovations are now complete and wow what a fantastic place it is. As always the place was immaculate in every way.

After a welcoming chat with the owners I was able to set up my equipment and had the whole house and gardens at my disposal.

My shoot was with Kitty on her sold out studio day. We shot indoors and outdoors in several areas and it was most enjoyable.

I cannot recommend Basford Hurst Cottage (definitely a 5 star ⭐️ location) highly enough as it has everything you need as a photographer or model both indoors and outdoors.

Many thanks Leanne and Simon for your kind hospitality and I look forward to visiting you again in the very near future.

My third visit to the studio, and I'll still definitely be back for more.

An amazing place to shoot, whether that be in one of the many unique mareas inside the house, or in one of the many varied areas outside in the woods or outbuildings.

6 hours shooting there and I've only scratched the surface of what is available - and as the light moves around the house and grounds it provides an ever changing feast of opportunities.

Add to that the great models that are being booked there, the very competitive price given what you get, and that Leanne/Simon are excellent hosts then it really really is somewhere you should be looking to go to shoot.

Incredibly highly recommended.....

Had a quick return to Basford on Saturday, this time a couple of Hours with Kitty Dawson, the location is irresistible, the sun moves around the house giving you a different look each visit, wide open rooms lending themselves to dramatic shots, then went out to the wonderful woodland area which gives no clue its so near the house, had a fun day out there and lots of great images to take away, highly recommend going to Basford, thanks Leanne!

I had a great studio day at Basford Hurst cottage :)

They are very professional, the location is insanely amazing and I definitely want to come back already!

I am sure I will be in touch over the late autumn or early winter regarding some spring dates since I am moderately local to it! :)

Highly recommended!!!

A few days back, I had my first remote session at Basford Hurst cottage. Working with Cariad Celis, we took advantage of (just a few of) the very many lovely settings there, from interiors to exteriors.

There were so many options in addition to the ones I'd planned that it was difficult to pick a favorite. I do wish it were closer, but I anticipate I'll be using the location again--too many great options were skipped due to not-enough-hours-in-a-day.

Highly recommended!

Had the pleasure of another great shoot at Basford today, just great seeing Leanne and Simon again just lovely super people, several great indoor locations take a wide zoom and make them even bigger, the light moves around the house so you have a different look each visit, amazing bit of woodland in the garden, you could be in a remote forest somewhere but actually your car is just a few meters away. Its great having this kind of home studio opportunity. I was lucky enough to catch Cariad Cellis and came away with lovely images, planning on returning soon thanks!

This was my first time shooting at Basford Hurst Cottage with Paul, and I absolutely loved it. What an amazing location!

There are so many different spaces within the Cottage that are perfect for shooting (including a star wars room which I was overjoyed to of found!), along with a quiet outdoor spaces surrounded by a woodland.

Leanne was kind, generous and helpful, making cups of tea and offering her help. When I arrived I was taken straight to the model room and greeted with a 'Welcome to Basford Hurst Cottage Emma' sign and a tin of snacks, making me feel extremely welcome!

I am definitely coming back to use that big window!

Had another shoot at Basford and as always Leanne was a great host and gave me a warm welcome. As usual I came up the night before and had a good nights rest in a very comfortable bed so was fresh for the long shoot the next day.

The weather was great so I shot a lot outside under the trees and alongside the new pond.

As usual I got some great images and look forward to my next vist. I am sure any photograper would also make some great images there so I am happy to recommend it to other photograpers and as important models
