Le Manoir Retreat - The Wing

Barbara generously leaves you a picnic supper for the day of your arrival – cold meats, cheese, fresh bread, fruit and wine – all local and regional. The spacious sitting room with its high, beamed ceiling and travertine floor is a happy spot for a quiet read, a dabble with a board game or a convivial chat, and the sofas are very comfortable.

There are two bedrooms (both can be doubles or twins) but Barbara only lets to couples. They have their own shower rooms with plenty of space to put your pots and potions, hang your towel and enjoy the big showers. One side of the wing looks over the rill in the garden, the other over the quirky henhouse and big skies. There are two balconies with tables and chairs for gazing, or you can sit by the pool, hidden by trees and shrubs.

The open-plan kitchen has all you need to rustle up holiday meals and you can eat outdoors if you prefer. It’s romantic here.
