Hook End Manor is a 16th Century Elizabethan house, set in the Oxfordshire countryside in 250 acres of private gardens and woodland, easily accessible from London, yet sufficiently isolated to provide the ideal recording getaway.
The fully re-furbished studio offers both Analogue and Digital recording facilities with an extensive selection of both modern and vintage outboard. The Control Room, one of the largest in the country offers a range of monitoring, including Quested and Pmc.
The house itself offers individually styled rooms, several of which are en-suite, all mod cons provided.
Hook End is regarded as the best residential recording facility in the country and is truly a place were Artists can find inspiration. We offer flexible pricing which ranges from basic studio rate, right up to fully inclusive. We are also available for location photo shoots and residential rehearsals.
