Summary
The property offers a peaceful getaway in a beautiful woodland setting, ideal for relaxation and dog walking. Guests appreciate the high-quality renovation, comfort, and well-equipped facilities, along with friendly owners. Some minor concerns, like the lack of a toaster, were noted.
The property
Nestled within 18-acres of private woodland, boasting stunning scenery and fantastic walking routes within a designated AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this luxurious, all-ground floor property,
The Observatory Annexe, is the perfect romantic getaway. Drive through the luscious greenery, up to the abode, which is located near to the main house and conveniently park outside to easily manoeuvre your belongings. Leave everyday life behind as you enter this beautifully appointed space, discover the sitting room with its emerald, green sofa, the ideal spot to snuggle up and unwind with an engrossing film or simply enjoy the stunning view. There is a stunning, but simple, matt charcoal galley kitchen with a granite work top, where you can prepare simple dishes for your loved one. After, open a bottle of wine to enjoy a refreshing glass on the patio terrace; soak in the delightful views. When the sun has set, make your way inside and indulge yourself in the luxurious bathroom to prepare for a night's embrace. Dry yourself off and head to the bright and airy bedroom, where a sumptuous double bed awaits you, climb into bed and open a book to take advantage of the tranquil setting. Lace up your walking boots, taking your canine companion and discover the splendour of nature surrounding you, explore the lost private gardens of the former Barclay family estate, or venture further afield along the paths leading to local beauty spots. Hop in the car and take a short drive into the pretty market town of Dorking, known for its independent & antique shops, where you can rummage around at your leisure and choose from a superb selection of pubs and restaurants to enjoy a home-cooked meal out. Dorking is home to riveting history, including Dorking Museum & Heritage Centre for a multi-sensory experience and The Deepdene Trail, where you can explore the woodlands on foot and learn at the same time. Be sure to visit Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for iconic sights, you are on the doorstep of Box Hill, Ranmore, Norbury Park & Leith Hill – all boasting the most amazing views across the Surrey countryside. Travel to the town of Guildford for some retail therapy at the Friary Shopping Centre or on the historic high street and afterwards indulge in a sit-down meal at a traditional pub or in one of the numerous restaurants. For a romantic escape with your loved one, stay at
