Vinegar Hill Pottery

What an amazing day and if the B/B is as good as this one day course, no complaints. Group of 9 with Dave a professional and very personable instructor. By the end of the day we achieved throwing pots and making plates a feat that I never expected. Included refreshments and a delicious lunch, it was such a professional and fun run course. Would thoroughly recommend it and for me personally it was such a wonderful gift.

I did the 3 day pottery course with 8 other people, who I only met when I arrived. Dave, the host and potter ran an excellent course helping lots of us beginners with a great deal of patience!! We had a lot of fun. We were provided with coffee and cake as well a delicious lunch made by Miranda, a local lady. My accommodation was in Rosie, the gypsy wagon. It was delightful and private. I had good WiFi when I needed it. I made good friends who I explored the local area with. It’s a lovely village by the sea with plenty of good places to eat . Will be recommending it to my friends.

Pros: Nice room, lots of room. Very clean. The staff are super friendly. Cons: When we arrived there was no one to greet us, no key, we had to call to have someone come to give us the key. The owner wanted to charge us £15 for a "child" fee after we paid for 2 adults and 1 child at the agreed rate. We refused, but this was a bit annoying. The noise was very loud from the guests staying above our bedroom. The flooring is very thin and there are even signs warning the guests on the top and bottom floor to keep the noise down. This was particularly hard to deal with even when wearing earplugs. The heat turned off at 9am and did not turn on again until about 9pm. We had to ask for the heat to be left on. Breakfast is continental style, no hot breakfast served.

Lovely place to stay, minutes from some great eateries and drinking holes, and the beach of course. Beds really comfortable, Garden room warm and spacious, continental breakfast par excellence. What's not to like. Would be a dream in the summer months as the room comes with patio area and seating shared with the Gypsy wagon.

Brilliant day learning how to make pots, plates and bowls at Vinegar Hill. Dave is knowledgeable, patient and seems to enjoy teaching absolute beginners how to create from clay. The lunch was excellent and the brownies in the morning delicious. Whole day was calm, relaxed and enjoyable. Thank you to everyone at Vinegar Hill for a memorable day.

Fabulous weekend in gorgeous accomodation. Delicious continental breakfast delivered to room. Friendly welcome, easy parking and great location. Stylish amd characterful accomodation. Would love to return.

We had a fantastic 3 days with Dave and great bunch of other wannabe potters. Dave is very skilled and very patient with us all. The three days was good as it took us through the whole process of potting and we came away with some pots. we are now awaiting the bowls and dishes we made which they will finish off for us. Milford on Sea is also a foody paradise with plenty of choice to eat and relax in the evening. A truly great 3 days and would highly recommend.

Thanks to the owners Lucy & Dave for our lovely stay in the garden room. Especially grateful for the cool sheets on the hottest day of the year. Peace, quiet and nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait until next time.

This place is absolutely fantastic! Thoroughly recommend it. We stayed a night in the hay loft - super clean, comfy and great decor. Wish we could've stayed longer. The breakfast brought to our room was such a treat - freshly baked croissants, freshly squeezed orange juice, fruit, yoghurt, bread and cereal. All served in gorgeous pottery! Great location - really peaceful and 5 mins walk from Milford where there is a great selection of restaurants. Will be recommending it to all my friends!
