.Inside, bedrooms, with crisp linen and pretty fabrics have views over the gardens -all three rooms feel inviting and calm, and they share a smart bathroom. Sporting fluffy towels and masses of space, the bathroom is sleek and the shower is vast. The spotless, smartly fitted kitchen has all the gear you need. Next-door is a convivial dining room and there's plenty of space to stretch out after a hearty meal on comfy seating in the living room. Or spend light filled evenings with wine and enjoy the fresh air with the living room doors to the patio open. A light-filled conservatory is the perfect spot for morning coffee for a slow start. In the warmer months the gardens explode with rhododendrons and azaleas and birdsong erupts to keep you company.
