Pottery Experience

Vinegar Hill Pottery offers hands-on pottery classes taught by master potter David Rogers. The on-site studio crafted the handmade basins featured on Channel 4's 'The Great Pottery Throwdown'. Guests learn to throw clay in small group workshops and take home their own creations.

Lodging options include a luxury gypsy wagon, a family suite, and a deluxe double room accessed by an external spiral staircase. The family suite provides a spacious, self-contained three-bedroom stay with a private bathroom. Each room is furnished with an electric kettle and a TV, and features pottery made on-site as part of the decor.

Dining & Breakfast

A continental breakfast is served each morning on handmade pottery from the studio. Meals include freshly baked croissants, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, and good coffee. Chef-prepared dinners using local ingredients are available upon request and presented on the same handcrafted tableware.
