The Warwickshire Retreat

  • 8 guests

  • 4 bedrooms

  • 2 bathrooms

    +1 extra toilet

In the summer months you’ll love wandering about the well-established garden, picking apples and pears to make jams or crumbles, barbecuing to your heart’s content and dining alfresco on the patio before a sweat inducing game of garden jenga. As the heat of the day fades, why not take the opportunity for a snooze on the cane sofa in the summer house or open the second door closest to the house and you’ll find your very own garden bar. At chillier times of year, you’ll love taking to one of the two tub chairs by the wood burning stove in the study and curling up with a good book,...
