Looking for a place to get together amid velvet sofas and herringbone floors? With space to congregate and spaces to separate? You’ve two bountiful and beautiful reception rooms here, plus another cosy area in the lodge, including a drawing room with an inglenook fireplace that’s ready and raring to roar away.

Pick from two kitchens: the kitchen/diner in the main house and a smaller affair in the lodge suitable for snacking. Binge on the breakfast hamper.
