Sink into one of two plush sofas or armchairs, catch up on your favourite programme on the Smart television, or settle at the desk area tucked into the alcove. Step through to the adjoining garden room, furnished with a sofa, armchair and floor cushions, and enjoy the picturesque rural views stretching beyond the window, a lovely spot to relax with a book or puzzle from the well-stocked games shelf.

Picture morning light spilling across the terrace as you sip coffee amid birdsong and rolling countryside views, the day ahead filled with possibility. Wander the Godolphin Estate's ancient woodland trails, or head to the coast for a bracing walk along dramatic clifftops.
