As unusual as it is unique, you can tell a designer has been working their magic at this exquisite Wiltshire retreat, set on a working family farm on the edge of historic Avebury.

Splashes of bright colours, rich textiles, and statement ceramics make this country bolt hole anything but twee. And thanks to its high vaulted ceiling, it’s a home flooded with natural daylight. Hunker down on the very-sinkable sofa with a good book. Get together for a hearty cook-up breakfast at the dining table –⁠ your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. Or sneak back to the king-sized bed with tea and toast – the welcome hamper delivers all the goods.

When the charming shared landscaped terrace finally lures you outside, you’ll be in for a treat. There are plenty of sunny spots to relax in or step up the pace with a bracing walk around the unspoiled countryside – you’re right in the heart of a World Heritage site with paths leading from the farm. And no visit here would be complete without a pilgrimage to Avebury’s Neolithic stone circle (a three-minute drive away or twenty-five-minute stroll) – with a pitstop to the local inn afterward, naturally.

You've got the best of Wiltshire at your feet with a stay at this charming hideaway, nestled on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury. Standing within a World Heritage site, its quaint shops, traditional inn, and the legendary stone circle delivers all the country charm and heritage you're chasing and is just a three-minute drive away.

Back at the farm, you couldn't dream up a more welcoming retreat. Once a former stable, the space has been beautifully reimagined into a collection of stylish cottages standing side-by-side overlooking a landscaped shared courtyard.

Inside, we love the elegant English interiors with bright textiles and artwork adding a dash of playful modernity. And the whole space feels light and lofty, thanks to the vaulted ceilings. In the small but perfectly formed kitchen, there's a welcome hamper with essentials and homemade goodies to help settle you in – or for something more substantial, your host can deliver farm produce straight to your barn door. And when the sun shines, the beautifully landscaped courtyard is the perfect spot to relax with a book and sundowners. Then fire up the barbecue and firepit to keep the night flowing beneath a blanket of stars.

Alice's Farm

Security System

Set on a working livestock farm, this little ray of sunshine can be found nestled among the converted stables. Small but perfectly formed, it's a romantic home with calming, delicate shades and tasteful decor. Perfect for a couple or a solo holiday, it offers easy access to country walks and the beautiful village of Avesbury – the stone circle is just a three-minute drive. With great local pubs and restaurants (one just a short walk from your door) and Britain's best neolithic sites nearby, it's the perfect spot to explore the Wiltshire countryside.

Recently converted, this exclusive collection of cottages sit side-by-side with the host's main farming business, and the land has been passed down from generation to generation since 1922. Set within the Avebury World Heritage site, it's a UNESCO-protected landscape unlike any other part of the country. 

If you're lucky enough to be here during fine weather, make the most of the beautifully-landscaped courtyard – with plenty of outdoor seating space for each of the stables. Or book more than one home and socialise outside with friends and family. You can even hold weddings and events here.

Little Sedum

Air Conditioning

Nestled within a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury (a World Heritage site, don't you know), this is the countryside hideaway you've been chasing.

While the former stable dwelling may have old bones (check out those lofty oak beams), there's nothing twee about its interiors inside. Every inch of the home is beautifully reimagined for pure modern luxury with statement lighting, vibrant textiles, and curated artwork bringing a touch of refreshing and playful modernity.

After banking a peaceful night's sleep in the stylish bedrooms, get together around the dining table overlooking the shared courtyard for lazy breakfasts – the welcome hamper's sourdough loaf is the best thing since sliced bread. Or, if you'd after a big cook-up, your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. 

When bellies are full and it's time to set off exploring, you won't have far to go. Just head into the local village of Avebury (a three-minute drive or half-an-stroll stroll) – it's an afternoon well spent with its traditional inn, charming shops, and of course, the Neolithic stone circle. Just be sure to make it home in time for some stargazing around the fire pit on the beautifully landscaped terrace that you'll share with the barn's other cottages. On a balmy evening, there's no finer place to be.

Inside, the traditional features and elegant styling fill this cottage with warmth and comfort. It’s an intimate space perfect for families and friends to share quality time together. From cosy mornings in the kitchen to lazy afternoons curled up on the sofa, it’s easy to embrace the slow and gentle pace of village life. 

Stroll into Wilcot or weave your way through the beautiful Pewsey Vale – there are some wonderful walks along the Kennet and Avon canal. Or make the short drive to the historic market town of Marlborough where you’ll find great local shops and restaurants including Rick Stein’s – only ten–minutes away. 

As the day draws to a close, this cottage is the perfect place to relax with a candlelit dinner. Gather around the table and celebrate the joy of countryside living.

Umbrellas

Nestled within the heart of the Wiltshire countryside on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury, this home is the perfect country getaway for those looking to escape the humdrum of urban living. Split into six separate buildings (or mews, if you will), there is plenty of space and privacy for all guests, and the communal gardens are ideal for gathering in the evening with a bottle of wine by the roaring fire pit, or getting together in the mornings for lazy breakfasts – the sourdough loaf in the welcome hamper is phenomenal. Or, if you're after a big cook-up, your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door. 

When bellies are full and the road calls, you won't have far to go for an adventure. Take a three-minute drive or half-hour's stroll into the local village of Avebury – it's an afternoon well spent with its traditional inns and charming shops, while the neolithic spectacle that is Stonehenge is a scenic forty-minute drive from home. Of course, for those looking to reconnect with nature, you won't have to look far as the Wiltshire countryside can be reached from your very doorstep and promises days of enthusiastic strolls, wildlife-spotting rambles, and relaxed meanders.

The Mews

Situated in the picturesque North Wessex Downs and just a five-minute from Marlborough's bustling High Street, this Grade II-listed cottage is an absolute charmer. Your hosts have recently refreshed the interior, going beyond the usual lick of paint and new carpets, going as far as to kit it out with a brand new bespoke kitchen complete with a stunning range – perfect for the home cooks out there.

That said, Marlborough is blessed with plenty of options when it comes to dining out. Top picks include Rick Stein, which serves up modern British fare – Dan's at the Crown offers elevated versions of the classics, plus the Michelin Guide recommended The Bell at West Overton, where you'll tuck into Mediterranean-inspired dishes just a four-mile drive out of town.

Continue a few minutes further along the road, and it won't be long before you end up in Avebury, home to Europe's largest neolithic stone circle. If that whets your appetite, then it's a forty-minute drive south to Stonehenge, the world's most famous and sophisticated stone circle. 

For a day trip to a historic location with a less mysterious past, the charming city of Bath is an hour away. With beautiful Georgian architecture, contemporary culture and astonishingly well-preserved Roman baths, there's a reason it's regarded as an obligatory stop on so many itineraries.

Awake Sweet England

What was once a machinery shed has now been converted into a gorgeous house on a farm. With wooden beams throughout the living space as well as feature brick walls, this is a fantastic place to reside when dreaming of an escape to rurality. Whether you prefer to dine alfresco or tuck into a meal indoors, you've got the choice of either during your stay here. For those warm evenings, enjoy a homecooked meal under the sunset, washed down with a sumptuous glass of red. Snuggle up on the sofa together to watch a movie on the TV while the children play – they'll love the adventurous mini climbing wall that takes them to the bed deck. 

Those who love to go on hikes will thrive here thanks to the luscious farmland and greenery that surrounds the area. If you've been craving some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of a busy daily life, you'll love it here. A short drive takes you to the Avebury World Heritage Site with the cosy National Trust Cafe and the gorgeous period Avebury Manor House, including a charming Victorian kitchen garden. While exploring the area, you'll come across the National Trust Museum, which is a fantastic place for history buffs to spend an afternoon together.

Slow down for a while at this rural Wiltshire hideaway for two or a solo traveller, nestled within the lands of a working family farm and yet just a three-minute drive from the charming village of Avesbury.

With some of the country's most important Neolithic sites a short drive away and local pubs for upper-crust grub even closer, you've got the best of Wiltshire to explore. Get off to a flying start with inspiring country walks leading straight from your door - set within the Avebury World Heritage site, its UNESCO-protected landscapes won't disappoint.

And when it's finally time to head back to the farm, the charms of this elegant retreat are hard to resist. Once a humble stable, the space has been beautifully elevated into a collection of stylish cottages standing side-by-side overlooking a landscaped shared courtyard – the spot for sundowners or an evening barbecue.

Inside, you'll find a small but perfectly formed kitchen and living space for curling up with a cuppa and toast - there's homemade sourdough in the welcome hamper at the ready. Then climb the mezzanine steps to discover a beautiful bedroom with a king-sized bed adorned with plump cushions, vibrant textiles, and flanked by statement lighting to ramp up the cosy factor for a dreamy night's sleep.

The Old Chapel is a beautifully renovated home set in one of the area’s prettiest villages. It’s perfect for couples looking for a quiet, romantic retreat or young families with one or two small children. There are plenty of great walks along the Kennet & Avon Canal, just minutes from your door, as well as the Ridgeway and Savernake Forest, just a thirteen-minute drive away. The Wootton Rivers village is within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so you’ll really be spoilt for choice with so much to see and do. Evenings are best spent with a glass of wine by the fire or sitting in the garden watching out for the barn owl that often swoops by the Chapel – and it's certainly big enough for a dog too. Original features include a solid oak arch door, arch windows and an exterior wall clock, which give this home oodles of character and charm, meaning you'll enjoy cosy nights in at this home feeling the bucolic calm. But if you feel like stretching your legs, the village has a 16th-century thatched pub that you'll be able to walk to in around three minutes. For foodies there is a wide choice of excellent restaurants in the local area – we’d especially recommend Stein’s or Dan's at the Crown, both located a ten-minute drive away. And for those ticking things off their bucket list, the world-famous Stonehenge is a forty-minute drive from your comfy home.

Tucked away amid the countryside surrounding the village of Wroughton, this delightful home makes for a memorable base for visits to Wiltshire. It’s been in the owner’s family for over a hundred years, and the love that’s been poured into it is evident. 

The vast gardens are beautiful, a wonderful setting-off point for walks and bike rides in the area. Explore the countryside safe in the knowledge that on your return you can warm up by a roaring fire – no visit to the English countryside can guarantee dry weather, after all. The Aga in the traditional farmhouse kitchen keeps things cosy too. The kitchen is a lovely spot for lively family breakfasts, all seated around the huge dining table tucking into local sausages and eggs. 

Should you choose to dine out, you have your pick of country pubs in the area, as well as restaurants and cafes in nearby Marlborough. There’s something for everyone in this charming corner of the UK. 

Adventure-seekers will enjoy the Cotswold Water Park, which is a twenty-three-minute drive. There’s an assortment of lakes with activities ranging from paddleboarding to wild swimming – that’s if you’ve not had your fill in the swimming pool back at the house. The Basset Down Golf Course is just ten minutes away, providing fun for those that prefer to keep their feet dry. 


Round & Round The Garden

Lift Access

This apartment makes for an excellent base in Swindon. It’s bright and comfortable, equally well suited to visits for work as to family breaks. It’s petite but well furnished with everything you might need for a short stay.

After a hectic day seeing the sights, you’ll be glad to have a cosy lounge to curl up in. Watch movies while dinner is cooking, then sit down at the table to dine together. If you don’t fancy cooking, you’re in luck, as the apartment is on a street bustling with bars, restaurants and independent shops. You’ll have plenty to choose from when it comes to dining out. 

The apartment is in the heart of Swindon’s Old Town, which is fitting given the nod to retro styling in this home. You’ll still have all the modern amenities you’ll need though, whether it’s wi-fi or a desk to work at. 


A Home In The City

Staying in this charming Cotswolds cottage can make you feel like you’re a character from a Jane Austen novel. Located in a wonderfully secluded part of Wiltshire and surrounded by sprawling fields and farm animals, this home is a rural sanctuary of calm. French doors merge the comfortable living room with the natural light and country air of the outdoors – it's the perfect spot for relaxing with a good book, playing games or rustling up a home-cooked meal while socialising with friends and family. Grab a glass of your favourite and sit out on the garden patio, which overlooks picturesque views of the verdant valley. In the mood for exploring? This location gives you easy access to countless walking trails, and when you’re not wandering the fields or following footpaths, there’s a host of traditional pubs and local restaurants to take your fancy. While you’re here, it’s worth visiting the nearby towns of Malmesbury and Tetbury – and check your calendar, maybe your stay overlaps with the famed Badmiton Horse Trials or Tetbury Woolsack Race. 

Penny-Farthing

Whisk your loved one away to this rural retreat on the outskirts of Hungerford, Berkshire. The countryside surroundings are idyllic, especially from the heated pool – it’s exclusively yours to use between June and September. Guests don’t have access to the gardens, though. Inside, there is a lot of room for just two people, but the living area is still cosy with plush sofas. Bear in mind that it’s not suitable for children, including babies. Location wise, Hungerford’s antique shops, unique boutiques, and friendly pubs are just 6 miles away. 

Rolling Rest

Glamping never looked so good than at this charming cabin nestled within a wild-flower meadow of a 2500-acre family-owned farm estate. Don't be fooled by its unassuming aluminum exterior. Inside, the cabin is surprisingly spacious and lovingly converted by your hosts to provide all the creature comforts. Expect spotless interiors with a well-equipped traditional kitchen complete with a Belfast sink, a neat en-suite shower, and luxurious Egyptian linens on the king-sized bed and bunk beds for the kids. A welcome hamper brimming with local goodies, including milk, eggs, freshly baked bread, and marshmallows for those obligatory s'mores, will help to settle you in. And you'll bank a blissful night's sleep here – your only neighbours are the occasional peacock or deer strutting by. While away your days watching nature unfold outside on the terraces - the private elevated balcony looking out into surrounding woodland (a great spot for den building) is a beautiful place for a cuppa. Or don your hiking boots for a country walk – perhaps with a pit stop at the welcoming local pub (within walking distance) for a swift pint. Just be sure to make it home for dusk as the sun sets over the surrounding countryside. Placed in one of the UK's largest 'dark-sky' areas, there's much stargazing to be done while getting toasty beside the firepit.

From the moment you see the grand stone exterior and cobbled courtyard, you’ll know that this ever-so-charming home is steeped in history. It's a former malthouse that’s over 300 years old and filled with traditional features. When you step into the entrance hall, you’re entering through the large oak door onto the original cart-way, and as you start trying to choose which bedroom you want to lay claim to, you’ll be winding your way up a turret stairway with rope bannisters, surrounded by wooden beams and original fireplaces. The interior has been fully renovated, with a modern handmade kitchen, squishy sofas, and cute-as-a-button bedrooms. Sip your afternoon tea perched on the sunny window seat with a good book in hand (there's an extensive collection to choose from), while gazing at the expansive green views of the playing fields and village church in the backdrop. Elsewhere, the large 14-seater pine dining table will be the perfect spot to savour a slow dinner with the entire group. Although in the garden you'll notice a patio, complete with outdoor furniture, that’s ideal for wine and cheese nights – there's a large lawn and a range of outdoor games available too (including table tennis) for hours of early evening fun. You don’t have to go far to continue the historical theme, as the pub next door is one of the oldest in the country and has been the resting place for many a monarch visiting the area since the 15th century. The surrounding county town, Frome, just a fifteen-minute drive away, was voted one of the best places to live in the UK - explore the rich history, shop at independent boutiques, buy fresh produce at the local market or dine at one of the many eateries dotted around nearby.

Malter’s Rest

Fancy staying in a seventeenth-century dovecote on a thousand year-old farm mentioned in the Domesday Book? We thought you might. This stone cottage in deepest Wiltshire is the ultimate countryside retreat. With original features maintained beautifully alongside modern comforts, you have all you need for a carefree stay.

Within the thick stone walls you’ll find exposed beams in abundance, complemented by a delightful mix of contemporary furnishings and fittings. Start your day in style with breakfast on the plush velvet dining chairs or wind down for the night with a soak in the freestanding bathtub.

During the summer months, the real star of the show is the heated saltwater swimming pool. Once you've spent all morning splashing about, you can head over to the terrace where you'll find a barbecue, firepit and ample seating. 

Back inside and up the stairs a fifty-inch Smart TV and sound system await you, with a bit of mood lighting to boot.

When you’re ready to venture out again, embark upon one of many walking routes through Dinton Park, a National Trust site just fifteen-minutes away by foot. And after a long ramble, nourishment awaits at The Wyndham Arms, a mere five-minutes from your door.

Dove's Rest

DVD Library

This home is beyond characterful, inside and out. Dating back to 1880, the cottage is not only filled with historic charm but it packs a serious punch with its style and design. Once you've taken in the glorious facade, settle into a vibrant, warm, and artfully eclectic lounge. The kitchen has a contemporary farmhouse feel, and the rustic dining table is a stylish space to serve all your meals. The bedrooms are rich and luxe, and practically come with their own art galleries - filled with pictures and paintings. You'll be based on the outskirts of the Mendip Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Pack your walking boots and a few good books for stunning hikes and picnics in the countryside. This striking home is a truly unique space in Somerset. Whether you're relaxing in the home or exploring the grounds, the view will be a knockout.

Want to recreate a passionate escape à la Bridgerton - just on a much smaller scale? Then we think you'll fall in love with this home in a 400-year-old former gatehouse lodge. Part of the glorious 5,500-acre St Giles House estate, it's been personally and immaculately renovated by the estate's owner (real-life nobility Lady Shaftesbury) to stunning effect. The natural and historical character - original lead windows, log burner and dove grey stone slabs - pack a punch, but it's her Ladyship's keen eye for style that has elevated this home into a truly romantic stay. We're talking about bold splashes of colour (a vibrant coral in the living room and soothing forest green in the bedroom) plus beautiful illustrated artwork and the highest quality Egyptian cotton sheets. This rural location is the perfect place to hide away from the rest of the world, but if you tire of each other's company, the beaches of the Jurassic Coast, the New Forest and the classic British seaside resorts of Poole and Bournemouth are all within a short drive away.

Tangerine Lodge

This beautiful home sits within the grounds of a historic stately manor. It’s between Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, so you’ll be perfectly positioned to explore the Brecon Beacons and the area’s delightful towns and villages. French doors open to the terrace and garden, where you can play croquet and admire the deer park just beyond the estate’s gardens. Inside, the wood-burning stove keeps things cosy. It's a stylish and tranquil home that’s been meticulously renovated. We love the elegant tiling in the en-suite bathrooms. 

The Summer Lodge

Fenced Garden

Fenced Property

This characterful cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway. Set among 80 acres of vineyards, woodland, and fishing lakes, with views as far as the eye can see from the private patio, you’ll feel like you’ve escaped to the country here. We love the unique features inside – like the circular-shaped lounge and curved staircase – and who could resist a relaxing soak in the Jacuzzi bathtub? Location-wise, you’re perfectly placed for hikes and bike rides in the surrounding countryside and for adventures further afield, the market town of Farnham is 11 miles away and historic Winchester is a 20-mile drive.

The King's Gate

Part of a manor that dates back to the sixteenth century, this beautiful listed barn conversion is not your average country cottage. With enough design credentials for a magazine spread, the home mixes old and new with aplomb. Gather in the grand room to see a space with cathedral-like ceilings and antler chandeliers, with pops of bright modernity from the aquamarine walls and huge pieces of artwork hanging on the walls. There are cosier spots too, including bedrooms that have been tucked up in the rafters ensuring a snug night's sleep, as well as a log-burning fire in the second living room. Comprised of two adjoining barns, the home has got enough room to seat the entire party, with two kitchens for whipping up a feast — ask ahead and the owners will provide you with eggs from the grounds' chickens. Outside, there's a private covered hot tub, a barbecue area and pretty walled gardens to explore, but beyond the gates, one of England's most beautiful counties awaits — Cranbourne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in less than fifteen minutes by car, as can the architecturally unique town of Blandford Forum.

Hammoon Manor

Free Parking

Rolling countryside as far as the eye can see and quaint villages tucked into the valleys of Monmouthshire on your doorstep – this converted stone barn is an idyllic getaway. It’s a six-minute drive to the centre of Raglan where you can explore castle ruins, pop in to one of the cosy pubs or stock up at the traditional butcher and the local village shop. Further afield you’ll find the charming market town of Monmouth a fifteen-minute drive away. The home is blissfully quiet, with nothing but the occasional bleat of sheep or whinny of a horse in the surrounding fields. Out here, away from it all, you can see the canopy of stars from the private garden. During the day, this spot is perfect for a family barbecue, with dining on the patio. Inside, it’s open-plan living made cosy with a wood-burning stove set in the old stone wall of the living room. Period features like the old timber frame and arrow-slit windows have been retained, showing off the age of the building. The Aga and Belfast sink in the kitchen keep that farmhouse feel, perfect when paired with farm-fresh produce from the hole-in-the-wall farm shop just down the road. 

Haybales & Horses

Smart TV

Get far away from the madding crowd in Thomas Hardy’s Dorset with this beautiful home – it’s the perfect romantic retreat. Surrounded by woodland, relax in the hot tub with a glass of fizz (or whip up a smoothie with the blender in the kitchen), and when the sun sets, cosy up by the fire pit. There’s a hammock to unwind in as well. 

The sylvan setting can be admired through the French doors in the living room, too – keep your eyes peeled for visiting wildlife. At the end of an idyllic day, head up to bed in the treehouse-like bedroom with its honeycomb-shaped, whitewashed wood ceiling before exploring the area the following morning. 

Out and about, the market town of Blandford Forum, with its array of eateries, is a six-minute drive. Alternatively, the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy, a country house and estate near Wimborne Minster, is eight minutes in the car, while Thomas Hardy's Cottage is twenty-three minutes. Further afield, Sandbanks, with its award-winning beach and chic boutiques, is just over a thirty-five-minute ride, so there’s plenty to keep you busy here.

Honey Bee Cottage

This cosy cabin is the perfect little bolthole for couples wanting to escape to the country. The location right at the heart of the New Forest means you’ll feel miles away from the stresses of daily life – as you fly down country lanes on your bike, you’ll feel your worries melting away. 

The cabin is just outside of Brockenhurst, in an area that feels secluded but isn’t too far from the nearest shops. You can stroll to the pub in fifteen minutes, which is a welcome sight after a day spent hiking the trails. A four-minute drive will get you to beautiful Beaulieu, which is well worth an afternoon strolling around after lunch in a cafe. The abbey is just six minutes from the cabin – the tranquil ruins are always popular with history buffs. 

If you need an ice cream on the beach for it to feel like a holiday, you’re in luck. Fifteen minutes by car will have you on a sandy shore, though we can’t guarantee it’ll be paddling weather. 

For us, the real joy of this cabin is its countryside setting. Walking just five minutes from the front door will see you on walking and cycling trails. When your feet start to feel sore, head back to the cabin to soak in the luxurious claw-foot tub before spending the evening in front of the fire. Absolute bliss. 


In The Potting Shed

Paid Parking On Street

Located in the heart of Southampton – just a three-minute walk to Oxford Street, which is home to several great eateries for meals out – this apartment is a great base for city living. After breakfast here, catch up on important work at the home’s desk space before you head out for the day.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the water of the harbour and admire the boats in Ocean Village – just a short ten-minute walk from your door. Or, indulge in a shopping spree at West Quay shopping centre – reachable in twelve minutes on foot. 

What’s more, the Red Funnel Ferries that will take you to the Isle of Wight for the day are just a fourteen-minute walk or four-minute drive from this home, and if you find yourself inspired, the apartment’s desk space is the perfect spot to begin a novel set on the island. Then, after a fantastic meal out or a home-cooked dinner, we would love to head up to the shared roof terrace on the sixth floor at sunset to admire the stunning views of the cityscape.  

Southampton Star

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

Five minutes from the city centre, ten minutes from Ocean Village and a couple of minutes from Oxford Street, this modern apartment is in the middle of all the must-see areas. Head in any direction and you'll probably stumble across the vibrant areas of the city in a few minutes. 

For a day of shopping, Oxford Street is the first place on your itinerary. It's lined with all the notable high-street stores and nearby to a huge shopping centre filled with on-trend stores and eating spots. You can spend a whole day perusing the aisles for cool clothing. 

If you prefer to take the day at a leisurely pace, head to the welcoming ambiance of Ocean Village. The marina is shaped by vibrant bars and restaurants offering alfresco dining near the water. Sharing delicious food and drink in the warm evenings by the marina is one of the highlights of the city.

However you spend your days, the apartment is made for putting your feet up and relaxing. A large TV shows your favourite films and TV series, whilst the glass dining table is made for sharing meals. For a treat, sit on the balcony with a glass of wine or beer and enjoy the peace and privacy.
