Our favourite rooms
Treat yourselves with a stay in the Seddon room, named after the architect who supervised the house’s extension in the late 1800s. It’s a bold pear green space, with aubergine purple cushions and a matching plump throw, overshadowed by a sculpted headboard that looks as if it’s been carved from the finest quality dark chocolate. All hail the bed: it’s a looming, majestic super king four poster, with bedposts carved in the same glossy cocoa wood that look like almighty, Lindt-coated asparagus tips. The bathroom has a deep double-ended tub and a romantic fireplace; a dangerous combo designed for sinfully seductive soaping. For a more modest option, go for the Blue Room (which comes with an aqua and mother-of-pearl colour palette, as well as a king-size bed and views over the sweeping lawn) or the Henry Master Suite (a chocolate and raspberry coloured confection, with silk curtains, Asian lacquered artwork and traditional wooden furniture). Lovage in Herb Cottage is just one of the rooms designed by Martin Hulbert. As well as stylish interiors, vaulted ceilings and a roll-top bath tub, this spacious garden suite boasts a large lounge area with comfy sofas and a wood-burning fireplace for slow-starting mornings and romantic nights in: French doors open out onto a south-facing private terrace with outside seating.
Packing tips
Swimwear for the beach; walking boots for traipsing around forests and castles; some old classics to read in front of the fire; bedsocks or slippers for optimum cosiness.
Also
The hotel is filled with artwork by local artist, Gillian McDonald; if you particularly like the look of a certain piece, ask at reception about bringing it home.

Sustainability efforts
The hotel has one universal and two Tesla charging points for electric cars, solar panels on the cottage roofs, a biomass boiler and they recycle their water through an on-site spring. They also have their own vegetable and herb garden, and what isn't home-grown on site is sourced from nearby – if you're concerned about food mileage simply check the menu which tells you how far food has travelled between pasture and plate.
