A small top terrace can be booked for romantic evenings and you can lunch or dinner at the delightful floating restaurant

The village is tiny, the bar is lively, the food is delicious. The Cotswolds are at your feet and you’re encouraged not to lift a finger

Submerge yourself in a magical landscape of sky, water and hills from this well-thought-out retreat, where silence reigns and peace is deep

An art-filled home poised above Hastings Old Town in a wonderfully private, peaceful spot and with a lush, tropical garden
