The dishwashers volunteer for clean-up duty, so you’re free to enjoy the last few rays of sun in the enclosed garden as your pup plays in the grass. Settle into the sitting room with an evening film on the Smart TV, before washing off the day in one of nine en-suites and welcoming sleep in a twin, double, king-size, or super-king-size bed.
