About this deal

Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them. What is it about city dwellers moving to the countryside (usually temporarily) that makes them, in their own minds at least, experts on all aspects of rural affairs, and keen to share their random Google searches with the wider reading public? The book is supposed to be about the history of a house in Pembridge, Herefordshire, (near where I live), that the author bought with his husband, according to the blurb and insinuated by the title and dust wrapper illustration, but the information assembled is so meagre that, I’m afraid, I felt that I had been conned. The author is a journalist and writes well enough about his preferred subject, art, but pretending that has anything to do with his house becomes farcical at times. Nestled in almost two acres of grounds on the outskirts of Wetheral village in Cumbria, the property’s private position gives way to a magnificent vista of open countryside views that are utterly breathtaking to behold.

Scone Palace is 48 km from Freuchies Mill - A Holiday Home For All Seasons., while Glamis Castle is 27 km away. The nearest airport is Dundee Airport, 41 km from the accommodation. Rachel and her husband Sean were married at Eden Bank and a generation later, the house provided a beautiful and elegant setting for their daughter’s wedding too. “There have been so many visitors to the house over the years,” says Sean. “And it’s always the same reaction when guests arrive. People can’t quite believe that such a private and quiet setting exists within a thriving riverside village.” A wonderful meeting of memoir and landscape, both rigorous and freewheeling, expansive and intimate, rendered in dreamy prose.’Utilities and services run within first floor ‘causeway’ to ensure continuity of provision during an extreme weather event Without the budget to actually bring in all new pieces, I learned to change the things I already had to make them feel new. Little changes that reflect the coziness of Winter, the renewal of Spring…this was what I needed! Seasonal decorating allows me to change my surroundings five times a year ( ok let’s be real, Christmas is a season of its own! )

Adam suggests: 'I'd recommend using a spray consisting of one part distilled (white) vinegar to 10 parts warm water which can be applied directly to a cloth before being rubbed evenly against the glass. For a bit of extra sparkle, sprinkle some baking powder onto the cloth before you add the solution and it will aid the cleaning process.' Make sure you're using a microfibre or paper cloth to remove any dust before you begin. For uPVC window frames, marks and stains should come off with ease. Fill up a bowl with some warm water and washing-up liquid and use a soft white cloth to wipe down. Avoid using a coloured cloth as the dye can stain plastic. Smears on windows can be very frustrating and ruin the appearance of your property but there are plenty of ways to ensure that they disappear,' advises Adam Pawson, Head of Digital at Safestyle UK. An enchanting read. From a simple question about the age of a house, this book takes you on a much wider journey, encompassing art, literature, history and nature, as well as the inescapable fragility of life.’ Summer is an exciting time to play with your home furnishings and it's the perfect opportunity to add splashes of colour and texture,' says Sam Hood, co founder and chief creative officer at Amara. 'Be brave and opt for bold colours, graphic patterns and lots of tactile materials. Adding a statement cushion to a bed or a sofa can change the entire feeling of a room. Choose warmer tones such as sunshine yellows and burnt oranges that reflect the weather outside.'The Sun Rain Room, as this work is accurately called, may be the architectural project with the most meteorology per square metre since Noah built the ark. The architects say they want it to be “a good place to be on a bad day”. Because of the doubling and dissolving of the reflective surfaces, it takes a while to realise how little usable space is actually added – just a big wall cupboard to house a barbecue, a potting shed and such like, an enclosed area big enough for a smallish dining table and another, sheltered but external, where you can also eat. Mostly, it’s a machine for enjoying the weather. We love the feeling of complete tranquillity,” says Rachel, whose family have owned the property for over four decades. “My parents bought this house when we were small. It’s a home that’s imbued with happiness.” A Grade II Listed property dating from 1834, Eden Bank was constructed for a prominent wine merchant from nearby Brampton. It was the first large house to be built in Wetheral, influenced by the development of the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway which brought increased trade and prosperity to the area. Techno-natural’: the planted roof of the Sun Rain Room, its glass-domed holes ‘like little suns’. Photograph: Edmund Sumner It’s rare that non-fiction has the power to transport you so completely and catch you up in a world that you have never known, and that you never want to leave. Jan Morris is the only other writer who has entranced me in such a way. I have not stopped thinking about it since.’
