Self Contained accommodation for long distance students


The Apollo Studio Accommodation is having a new heating unit fitted today, ready for our first guests of the year. The preliminary work was completed several months ago when the outdoor unit was fitted to a wall. While the studio is empty it's an ideal time to get cracking with the job. The new heating is a remote controlled air conditioning unit and it's very energy efficient. We had similar units fitted into our kitchen, dining room and lounge back in August, well before the cold weather hit us and they've been a godsend. We've noticed the difference on our heating bills too. For each kilowatt of electricity used you get back 3 kilowatts of heat, so that can't be bad. This means I can remove the floor standing electric woodburner-type heater, giving a little more floor space. Once installed we gave it a little test run; it turned from chilly ice-box to cosy toastie in under 5 minutes. Of course, the other bonus is the units double up as coolers. If ever it gets too hot for you (I wish!!!), a flick of the switch will have it blowing cool air into the room. I have used the cooler in the kitchen - you can imagine when I'm having a baking session how hot it can get - ideal for keeping chef (and pastry) at a moderate temperature.

No rest for the wicked........

AyoubArt was straight back to business on January 2nd. With a guest flying into Stanstead airport for a stay in the Apollo Studio - http://www.apollostudio.co.uk/ I had some shopping to do and an apartment to prepare.

The Apollo Studio is an on-site accommodation, self contained from just £35 per night. It's really handy for long distance students. This snug apartment has a wet room, fitted and equiped kitchen, relaxation area with TV/DVD/Stereo and bedroom. To date we've had guests from Norway, France, Spain, Portugal, US, Ireland and all over England, Scotland and Wales. Some guests have been from just up the road, simply wanting to make a long weekend of it.
Whether you chose to stay just the one night, a weekend or a week - the village has just about everything you could wish for, including some really nice woodland strolls. For just £10 a welcome pack can be ready for your arrival, containing essentials like milk, bread, butter, coffee, tea, sugar, eggs, juice, biscuits and marmalade. If you want to be really lavish, we can arrange for champagne and belgium chocolates to be chilling in your fridge - just incase you were celebrating something special.
