The House
To the right of the wide hall is the living room with big fat sofas to snuggle on for family movie nights; pick a film, fill bowls with popcorn to share.
Left of the hall is the kitchen/dining room, where you can all gather together for fun and chitchat. The kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of storage space and even a walk-in pantry; dress the table for a celebration feast cooked by private chefs (see Extras), take your seats and tuck in. Off the kitchen, there’s a utility room, off the dining area is the sunroom with blissful views and doors opening onto the terrace.
Upstairs off a galleried landing are Bedrooms 1-4 and a family bathroom; Bedroom 5 is across the front courtyard in the Annexe Suite. Next to it is the games room, where you can hang out and have a game of pool or catch the latest big match on the TV.
At the side of the house there’s another courtyard with a covered and heated pool for year-round use, a hot tub, barrel sauna, changing room and wet room, and outdoor table tennis. Next to this there’s a play area with a climbing frame and trampoline.
Have a leisurely barbecue on the huge terrace at the back of the house; sit out there and watch the sunset, love the breathtaking views that roll on for miles across the Culm Valley. Gather beneath the fairy lights in the Scandi style BBQ lodge, play cards, tell jokes, and swap stories long into the night. Big happy holidays are yours to enjoy at Dreamdays, the memories are yours to keep.
