La Belle Folly - Accommodation
If cool and quirky is your thing, you’re going to love La Belle Folly for your large group holidays, mid-week breaks and weekends away in the UK. A very imaginative conversion of a farm barn and grain tower brings you an awesome place to stay, with stacks of fabulous features to keep you all happy and smiling from the minute you arrive. 9 ensuite bedrooms, the slickest kitchen/diner, a living room where lounging about comes naturally, and a games room to excite. Outside there’s a cooking area for fresh air feasts, a stainless steel hot tub to soak in, and a striking stainless steel pool with glass ends. All yours for the whole of your stay.
The main house is part original stone, part timber clad. At the front, floor to ceiling glass walls give phenomenal views over the Wiltshire countryside – a dream to wake up to. Step into the games room where there’s a pool table and an arcade machine; wander through to the living room where relaxation comes with a big fat capital R. Next to it is the kitchen, sleekly stylish with dark grey units, a big central island and everything you need to remove the stress of catering for a large group. Dress the table for the best celebration feast ever, pile it with food and tuck in; book our tried and tested caterers (see Extras) to do all the hard work, right down to clearing away at the end of the night.
Left of the games room are Bedrooms 1-3, all with zip and link beds (super king/king size, or twin – see Floor Plans); 1 and 2 have ensuite shower rooms, 3 has a bathroom with an overhead shower.
Mosey upstairs to Bedrooms 4 and 5 (king size or twin), all with their own shower rooms. Follow the landing round to more play space with an enormous shuffleboard and Bedroom 6, also king size or twin, with an ensuite shower room. At the front of the house is Bedroom 7, a whopper of a room that’s brilliant for families and friends sharing, or as a dorm for older kids. There are 3 zip and link beds (king size or twin) and a single, and 2 ensuite shower rooms. The full height glass wall means those glorious views we keep going on about (we can’t help it).
And just a few strides away, the tower. Clad in dusky pink steel panels, all insulated and cosy. That’s where Bedrooms 8 and 9 are, but how are you going to decide who’s gonna sleep there? Well, maybe the lovely person who did all the organising for your group stay, or maybe whoever’s celebration it is? Bedroom 8 is on the ground floor, Bedroom 9 is upstairs, with its own entrance – just follow the curly stairs. Like the tower, both rooms are round and have king size circular beds to match. Each has an ensuite shower room and a glass wall with those views, those views.
At the front of the house there’s a big terrace with an outdoor cooking area. Fire up the BBQ or the pizza oven, get ready to dine in the sunshine. Beside the house there’s a big all-weather lawn, the hot tub and the pool. But this isn’t just any old hot tub and pool, this is contemporary, stainless steel; can you imagine the Insta pics of you swimming – those glass ends on the pool are something else!
The vibe is rustic-modern with exposed stonework and bare wood, skilfully mixed with colourful interiors – big bold florals, antique fabrics and old pictures. What a backdrop to your stay! The hardest part, of course, is leaving…
