Perché piace così tanto
- Incredible 'garden-to-table' breakfast included in the rate
- Rare air-conditioning in every room (a unicorn in rural UK)
- Adults-only policy ensures total peace and quiet
In sintesi: It’s technically a B&B, but the heated floors and Nespresso machines make it feel like a boutique hotel that just happens to be on a farm.
Recensito da @ablondetourist: I fell in love with this lounge instantly. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in so much light, and sitting by the fire with a view of the garden was the highlight of my stay. It’s pure peace.
