Testimonials for Rose Farm Painting Holidays

Painting Holidays UK Cornwall and Greece

I had no idea what to expect never having been on a painting holiday, I was subsequently astonished and delighted by the most comprehensive and enjoyable time. I have learned a huge amount from Tim who is truly an excellent teacher. I have been on holidays to Naxos and Cornwall and would recommend them heartily, I go regularly! Tim and Henrietta are an exceptionally gifted couple and a delight to work with.
