Over the past four years, it has been lovingly renovated to the best modern standards and completely redecorated and refurbished. Insulated from the street by deep stone walls, both the light and spacious bedrooms look onto our broad south-facing garden, with its lawn, rose-walk, box hedges and seductive ‘sitouteries’. This is a perfect setting for events such as weddings and anniversaries, or just for resting and de-stressing. Guests love the house for its comfort and elegance. Antiques, books, paintings and rugs add interest to each room and there is a small gallery of contemporary work by local artists. The bedrooms are beautifully appointed, with excellent beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, towelling robes, and toiletries. Both have private bathrooms and are equipped with radios, hair-dryers, information files and generous hospitality trays. The guest sitting-room, where breakfast is served, opens onto the sun terrace and there’s a log fire for cool evenings, as well as a digital TV, DVDs, puzzles, magazines and maps.
