The Attic Suite in the main farmhouse may be a little less private than staying in the cottage but it is delightfully designed with a magnificent bed, its own sitting room/second bedroom and a bathroom, with candles and a double-ended bath, that practically begs to be shared. Like the cottage, the suite's bathroom comes complete with Cowshed products, huge soft towels and cosy bathrobes, whilst its bed(s) are made up with the kind of high quality linens that make it almost impossible to get up in the morning. Although, the promise of having a delicious, mostly organic, farmhouse breakfast made for you (£14.50) pften provides the impetus required.

The two-bedroom self-contained cottage's original beamed ceilings and wide oak floor boards give it wonderful character but its the luxury touches that make it a perfect bolthole. From the underfloor heating beneath polished stone floors (downstairs), to the Bang & Olufsen TV (with full SKY), DVD player, IPOD dock, fully geared up kitchen and elegant Danish log burner, to the games room complete with table tennis, table football and Ninetendo Wii.

Additional indulgence is offered in the form of private chef services, gourmet hampers and treatments by a qualified mobile massage and beauty therapist who specialising in La Stone therapy.
