While in the unspoilt remoteness of the Irish Sea, in the rolling coastal countryside, there’s an air of familiarity here that feels just like home. Inside, it’s all about elegance, simplicity and quality – crisp linens in the bedrooms, a timeless Chesterfield armchair in the living space and a flash up-to-date kitchen. Start mornings relishing the peace and quiet in the snug before pouring out altogether into the lush garden for cream tea on the patio. Come rain or shine, the games room will keep big and little kids alike busy for hours. Lace up your walking shoes and take the thirty-five-minute yomp to the rugged shores of Kirk Michael or head out on a twenty-minute stroll to the picturesque Bishopscourt Glen. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, come home to a dining experience organised by your host. In the evening, pour a drink at your very own bar and get settled into the squashy sofas, warming your toes by the fire, reflecting on another idyllic day. Home truths: *Guests with small children should be aware that there is a pond in the back garden *You’ll need a car at this remote destination *Up to two dogs are accepted here *There’s space for two cars on the driveway *Ask your host about the at-home dining experience when booking *If you’re staying with little ones, a cot and a high chair are available to hire at an additional cost
