Special Escapes: Self-catering in the UK

Chaffeymoor Grange

Chaffeymoor Grange, Chaffeymoor, Bourton, Gillingham, Dorset, England

Imagine twirling under the stars on terraced lawns, in the lap of a striking stone manor house in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Oak Room's elegant panelling embraces you; a huge stone fireplace with wood-burner, deep sofas, bucket chairs and fresh flowers invite you to curl up. An intimate dining room, a slate-floored breakfast area and a games room make this an exceptional place for atmospheric house parties and elaborate celebrations. Bright, bold furnishings combine with noble old beams in the much-loved, beautifully renovated 17th-century manor - and the views from every window are heavenly. Ten ample and stylish bedrooms spread themselves over two upper floors, and the en suite bathrooms are super-sleek. Cooks will love the kitchen's entirely modern gas range, but there's a full catering service too - let a personal chef spoil you with hampers and dinners. Outside, you have the run of five acres – a playground of tinkling fountains, abundant wildlife, a small lake, tennis on the private court, croquet on the tended lawn. It's 40 minutes to Bath and Longleat and Stourhead are close too.
