We've found the most gorgeous holiday home just outside Bath
Just 10 minutes outside Bath, down winding country lanes, and up a road completely encased by trees, you'll find a honey-coloured, grade II listed, Georgian manor surrounded by greenery. As you drive past a field of horses and farm equipment, you don't expect to find a perfectly-manicured garden and a Bath-stone property whose exteriors wouldn't look a miss in a grand period drama, and that's part of the charm.
Two large lounge spaces, a formal dining room - which, in the evening, is bathed in a warm glow from the dwindling sun shining in through the sun roof and the myriad French doors out into the garden - a long, informal breakfast room, a bar and a kitchen make up the ground floor. They sprawl outwards from a central entrance hall, a room in and of itself, with duck egg blue panelled arches, fresh flowers and bath stone floors.
Upstairs, seven bedrooms sleep 14 in various arrangements, and each is of hotel quality. The rooms each possess a sense of calm, with soft, colourful furnishings, and touches unique enough to give each room its own distinct feel but also contribute to a general feeling of unity throughout the home. From handmade shutters in some, slanting ceilings in others, and cosy reading corners in all of the bedrooms on the second floor, they perfectly mirror the resplendent feel of the ground floor.
A review of Fortnight Farm Manor wouldn't be complete without a nod to the bathrooms. They are marble-floored shrines to a bathtub centrepiece, and I defy anyone who visits not to immediately de-robe and sink in. The contemporary, freestanding baths are truly a thing of beauty, and all thoughtfully placed to offer maximum views and comfort.
