With the beautiful surroundings of the lower Wye Valley, artists will find plenty of inspiration within a short distance of the Sloop Inn, Llandogo. Everywhere you look there is something worthy of painting, drawing or photographing, from majestic vistas to the detail of tiny flowers and insects.

The Village of Llandogo in particular, offers idyllic surroundings for artists, providing the setting for inspiration and relaxation. The Sloop Inn's four poster bedroom with patio offers our guests a great location and view from which to paint. Within easy walking distance there are a multitude of locations to capture beautiful landscapes and historical buildings.

We are lucky to have as our neighour local professional artist Pat Yallup. Within her Llandogo studio you can see local exhibitions or improve your technique at one of the many painting courses and workshops that Pat leads. Therre are many different workshops suitable for novice and expert alike, with the emphasis on different techniques, so you can choose the one that suits your style best.

What better way to spend a few days than staying at The Sloop Inn while you attend one of her courses? Take a visit to her web site for more information: www.patyallup.com
