A superb photo location with more options than you could possibly use in one session. The hosts are very welcoming and accommodating and nothing is ever too much trouble. THere is a good range of lighting available but many of the rooms benefit from amazing natural light.

Had another amazing shoot at Basford again and have a 3rd booked in June :D

This locations is an absolute MUST for all models and photographers. It is stunning and has so many incredible possibilities to create wonderful images.

Leanne and her partner are so very friendly and I love having a little chat to them before and after shooting at their extravagant cottage.

The time will fly when you are here because of the many areas you will want to shoot ideas at! So I suggest booking extra hours to truly appreciate and enjoy each scene and setting.

Highly recommend!

Thanks Leanne!

I was very happy to be invited to shoot at one of my favourite locations ever, Basford Hurst.

Honestly, the opportunities here are truly endless - we managed to get some incredible shots in a relatively short amount of time because this place just has so much to offer!

Leanne is always so welcoming and she is absolutely one of the reasons this place is so wonderful to shoot at!

I tell every body about this space and I can't wait to be back for more!

Thank you so much for having me!

Amazing location, the house is light and airy and offers so many possibilities. I didn't have enough time to shoot in all the available spaces, will definitely be back, its worth the 4 hours drive each way from Glasgow. Hosts are amazing and very knowledgeable and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.

Highly recommended

I ADORE working at Basford Hurst Cottage.

Leanne is so gloriously welcoming and space is beautiful. I was VERY smiley upon seeing a little personalised welcome message in the beautiful dressing room too.

Whilst my work there was very much non-stop, I DID manage to nab one of the choccy biscuits from the lovely little biscuit tin in the model dressing room.

Thank you so much for hosting myself and the photographers! I can't wait to return (hopefully soooon)!

Highly highly HIGHLY recommend Basford Hurst as a venue to shoot at! There are so many beautiful rooms, nooks n crannies to shoot in, it’s almost like the more you look around the more you uncover its potential! Not only this, but it was absolutely immaculate. It was so beautifully clean and spotless, it is really clear to see how much pride Leanne takes with her property.

Not only this but as a model I could really tell that it was a location another model runs due to the attention to detail and lengths taken to ensure everything needed is available, the dressing room is a private, warm room with all the necessities such as a clothes steamer, lint roller, sanitary products, choccies & the cutest little welcome sign just as a beautiful little touch.

Thank you so much Leanne I’m definitely going to be recommending this location to shoot at and hope to be back 🖤

WOW. Probably the best place I have shot in. Simply beautiful.

Leanne is super friendly and Well organised.

Once inside the space is incredible. Area after area of places to shoot. I used a few areas but so much more to explore. Lots of natural light, lots of wood, lots of amazing features.

It was warm, extremely clean.

There is also incredible outdoor space which I can't wait to use in the summer.

If you've not shot here, you are missing out.

It's a good drive to get there for me but I'll definitely be returning. A very easy 10 out of 10

This is a second shoot at this great venue, Basford Hurst is extremely versatile as a location shoot and Leanne is an extremely professional model and caring trainer with exceptional patience...

Highly recommended...

Simply stunning.

Leanne and her other half were instantly welcoming and she showed me round everywhere. For a location shoot, it has endless possibilities, which in hindsight I did not make full use off (oh well, excuse for another shoot). The house and grounds are beautiful, if you don’t get excited when you see it, you have no imagination.

I cannot recommend it enough as a location.

Its been just over year since Nicole Rayner and I did our shoot at Basford in with the snow on the ground outside and the sunlight streaming in, I wanted to do an anniversary shoot but the weather couldn't of been much different. We got some great images just using the natural light as usual some times it was quite dark, I quite like moody feel it gives.

Leanne was on hand to offer coffee and biscuits. Highly recommend by me.A return visit in the planning.

I was lucky enough for Steve/ bogwoppett to take me cross country to this beautiful location, that is Basfordhurst cottage!

An overdue reference on my part, (only down to not using this platform very frequently).

Where can I start with this lovely place!? The weather was against us but the indoor made for the most atmospheric backdrop to our wedding themed photos and the light was perfect.

Leanne is such a dream, I don't know where I've been all my life not having encountered her before but I am glad that I got the chance to.

I felt so instantly welcomed and at ease to be 100% myself.

My welcome sign with my name was such cute attention to detail!

He who must not be reviewed is also such a gentleman and makes the best tea and coffee ;)

Highly recommended photography environment from me and I hope to visit again in the near future :)

I can't wait to explore outside!

Had my 3rd shoot at Basford yesterday, it is a truly stunning location. Big windows everywhere, beautiful light to work with and every room in this remarkable cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished. Leanne and Simon are perfect hosts and there’s always a friendly welcome and a nice cup of tea or coffee when you arrive.

Can’t recommend it highly enough, don’t take my word for it, read some of the other reviews and then book yourself a shoot. You’ll be very happy that you did.

Anther great shoot at Basford, running out of things to say! The house is spectacular, Leanne is lovely and very friendly and chatty, makes a lovely cup of tea, the perfect host!

I had the chance to finally work at Basford Cottage, I was not disappointed, The place is fantastic to shoot at! Leanne was a superb hostess, Showed us around the place and was on hand for any help needed, Polite and very professional and makes a lovely brew as well

The place itself is fantastic and i hope to be back again soon, So many set ups and places to shoot and what feels like never enough time to do it all, A place that stands out from other studios in uniqueness and standards

Many thanks for having us there

Oh my gosh where do I start?!

So Leanne was amazingly helpful from the get go with preshoot communications and advertising my studio day which is so appreciated! She kept in constant contact and let me know when people she knew booked in and when people I'd directed to her had booked in with her. Honestly, organising a day at Basford was 60% less stress than so many other places!

Upon arrival, Leanna showed me round and made an absolutely banging cuppa! The location is stunning and so well equipped with lighting as the sun wasn't quite on our side. I didn't have time to shoot everywhere I would have liked to but it is the perfect excuse to come back which I most certainly will!

Highly recommended!

This was my first visit to Basford Hurst. Straight away was made very welcome and offered a drink, which having driven through the speed camera capital of the world was very nice.

I was given a tour of the various rooms that were available and lighting.

The rooms were all spotless and well laid out, in fact did not need to move anything. Was left alone to do the shoot but there was always someone to go to if there were any issues.

I will definitely go back again and hopefully with better weather as there are some great areas outside.

If you have not been here yet give it a go, you wont be disappointed.

Thanks

Steve

I had my first model day last weekend at the charming Basford Hurst Cottage. Leanne was fantastic with pre communication and with helping me where she could with promoting my day. Simon was a great host and made me feel very welcome.

The location itself is absolutely stunning, such a classy place with lots of natual light and was very well thought of as a model location. I will most definitely be going back in the summer so I can shoot outside.

Highly recommended by me

Thanks again guys 😀

Another great visit to the amazing Basford Hurst Cottage, this time for SimoneH's studio day.

The building is stunning with big windows and lovely natural light, new opportunities just present themselves every time you turn around! The only problem is having enough time to use them all. Combined with a warm welcome, endless KitKats and a mean brew it's pretty much perfection.

A great location, if you haven't already been, get yourself booked in, you won't be disappointed!
