Flint Fields

Hunker down with your dearest at this countryside barn idyll nestled away in Wiltshire’s rural pastures fringing the North Wessex Downs. Once a milking parlour from the late 1940s, this chic retreat has undergone quite a transformation in recent times. Downstairs, you’ll find a designer kitchen and a glorious, light-filled living space. While upstairs, on a magnificent glass balustrade mezzanine level, a luxurious king-sized bed and high-spec bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath with mineral salts and candles for a therapeutic soak, awaits. And you’ll love the thoughtful little touches throughout the barn like the original art and bespoke furniture.

A home to enjoy in all seasons, winter months are all about country walks including The National Trust Coombe and the Ridgeway Trail (and perhaps a pitstop at the neighbouring village pubs for a swift drink) before cosying up back at home. In the summer months, take things outside to savour lazy breakfasts bathed in the morning sunshine. Your host can organise breakfast hampers to be delivered to your door – with chilled champagne, too, if you fancy mimosas on the side.
