The Pheasantry is the ideal family getaway, the master bedroom has an uber-comfy kingsize bed, decked with luxury white linens and a snug window seat with an exclusive view of the walled garden. The twin bedroom is a nice size with beautiful natural light coming through the windows – next door you will find the pretty pink bathroom with a large bath, shower cubicle and white fluffy towels. The gorgeous green kitchen is fully equipped with an electric oven, coffee machine and all the appliances needed to cook up a storm.

In the garden, on one side of the patio, you will find an Ooni pizza oven, a top-of-the-range Kamado BBQ and comfortable garden furniture. At the other end of the patio, you will find the woodfired hot tub, perfect for bathing children whilst also providing a relaxing soak for parents.
