Escape the excitement and enjoy an intimate escape in the snug, where you can delve into the pages of a captivating book at the glow of the electric fire gently warms the room. End each day in style with an indulgent soak in the bubbling hot tub for an evening under the stars or retreat indoors to the orangery where you can finish up evening drinks whilst still enjoying the unspoilt countryside views. When sleep calls, you're spoilt for choice between six well-presented bedrooms, the first of which is accessed via a set of stairs leading from the orangery, where you'll find a sumptuous king-size with the benefit of its own en-suite bathroom, perfect for beating the morning queues!
