What a lovely setting, this place is. Leanne, was very welcoming, the rooms were warm, and the, stable, for my horse, plus pack mule, was ideal, for, Donald and Geoff. Would shoot there again, definitely.

What a beautiful location and wonderful hosts too. I had a short 2 hour shoot here yesterday - the space is stunning and lovely changing area too. Thank you for being wonderfully accommodating. It was lovely to have a touch of luxury in my short time with you xx

It was a fabulous experience modelling at Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday for the first time :-)

The studio owners was remarkably kind, friendly, and helpful. Leanne offered me and the photographers drinks and gave me a tour around her fantastic studio.

First and foremost, the studio features a Model fabulous changing room with an extensive selection of jewellery, and everything a model might need, including a large mirror with excellent lighting and various hygiene items. There is a vast array of beautiful furniture and props, all decorated with impeccable taste, creating a gorgeous atmosphere. You can find various techniques, including lighting and gels, at your disposal. The studio also provides parking, a comfortable toilet, and even a shower and beautiful vintage bath to shoot in! 😻

Furthermore, Leanne is always ready to help with anything you may need. She is not only helpful but also an interesting and friendly person, making for great conversations.

Thank you so much for having me in your studio! It was a fantastic day, and I was very happy to meet you and work in your fantastic space! I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in 2024

Warmest regards

Another fabulous shoot at Basford Hurst, this time with Rebecca Perry for a maternity shoot. Basford is such a friendly place to shoot. Leanne’s so easy and fun to talk with plus always tea/coffee on hand.

Highly recommended

Had my second half day shoot at Basford working with @irida. Leanne was on hand for anything I required including cups of tea :) We used a few of the available rooms and also did sone shots outdid in the gardens and grounds. I was fortunate with a lot of sunshine which made using natural light very easy - although I did use some of the studio lights as well.

A great place to shoot with so many options and possibilities . Highly recommended :)

Shot at Basford once again, and it only gets better!

There's a huge range of environs and backdrops, with many rooms offering excellent natural light.

Leanne is also an excellent host - every want and need catered for.

Hugely recommend you shoot at Basford, an experience not to be missed! - And hope to do so myself again soon!!

My 2nd visit to Bashfordhurst cottage studios, this time shooting with ownwr Miss_C (no pressure).

I was made to feel so welcome from the moment I arrived until i left, with chocolate biscuit in hand.

It is a truly remarkable place with so many different options for shooting. The natural light is stunning and I love all the nooks and crannies and secret stairwells and various staircases.

I got some amazing shots and still working through them.

All in all a fantastic place to shoot and i am already planning my next shoot with Miss C.

Thank you so much xx

Back to Basford for my 5th shoot now. As always a friendly welcome and cup of tea from Leanne on arrival. It's a great credit to Basford that I can keep coming back and finding things I want to try and shoot.

Will be back again next year !

Exceptional 'studio' with limitless options in situ and an amazing local area full of incredible locations to compliment it. Unfortunately, the weather was not conducive to any outdoor or location work for my shoot with Miss_C yesterday (but that has the bonus of making a return visit an imperative).

Despite very dull weather I was able to shoot almost exclusively with natural light

Already looking for another opportunity to work here and with Miss_C as soon as possible.

Very, very highly recommended. One not to be missed!

I had my second shoot at Basford with the wonderful Anna Chum at the weekend. I can only really repeat what everyone else is saying.

Leanne is wonderful, super welcoming and always on hand to help out if needed. The location is stunning and the natural light is beautiful.

If you haven't shot at Basford yet you definitely should.

I've been here before, but had to return, and things were as wonderful as ever.

More space than a 'Cottage' has any right to have, and styling in every single room (of which there are many...)

Not to mention admin and organisation that are (as they say) always 'on point'.

If you haven't been yet, you need to go soon. There's a queue forming.

I had my first visit to Basford Hurst Cottage yesterday to shoot with the lovely Misuzu. A lovely warm and friendly greeting from Leanne followed by a tour of the house/studio and a very welcome cup of tea. Leanne was a perfect host and was on hand to assist with anything we required during our stay.

Reading some of the many wonderful references that have already been written I noticed the word Wow appears quite often. Wow is definitely a serious understatement. As soon as you arrive at the property it’s obvious that this is a very special location. Set in beautiful surroundings, the House (I know it’s called a cottage but it’s much bigger than any cottage I’ve ever seen) Is fabulous (another understatement :-)) The weather wasn’t suitable for shooting outside so we only shot within the main building but even so we were spoilt for choice. So many beautifully decorated and furnished rooms and settings to choose from and all with amazing natural light or the opportunity to use lighting if desired.

Leanne and Simon have created something very special here and I hope to return and explore even more of its beautiful and unique shooting opportunities.

Needless to say, an unreserved 100%+ recommendation to all photographers and models. Book a shoot here as soon as you can, you’ll be very happy that you did.

I had my second shoot today at the outstanding Basford Hurst Cottage Studio. What can I say about this most beautiful of photographic studios that hasn't already been said by so many models and photographers? Well, all I can add is that you should try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I was shooting with the gorgeous Tatiana, we'd booked a four hour slot for the morning. We were greeted by lovely Leanne, the owner, and given a very warm welcome. She spent some time showing us around and answering questions before letting us get on with our shoot.

I'm super pleased with the images created today at this fantastic cottage and would be very happy to shoot there again and again and again :)

Highly recommended.

Thanks Leanne :)

I had a fantastic experience working here for a first time. The studio is located in a beautiful house, boasting a variety of shooting sets that provided a unique backdrop for my shoot.

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to pose with various beautiful necklaces available in changing room for models to use, adding a touch of elegance and charm to the photos. The studio's attention to detail was evident, and I appreciated the clean and organized setup, which allowed for a seamless and enjoyable photoshoot.

The two gorgeous bedrooms, along with the drawing room featuring a fireplace and large windows, provided a diverse range of settings for capturing different moods and styles. The abundance of natural light streaming through the windows added a soft and flattering glow to the photographs, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

I cannot praise Leanne, the studio owner, enough for her friendly and welcoming attitude. She made the entire experience truly delightful.

In summary, my experience at Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location was amazing. The combination of the picturesque location, versatile shooting sets, and Leanne's hospitality created a memorable and enjoyable photoshoot. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a comfortable and creative environment to capture beautiful moments.
