A bright, design-forward bathroom led to a booking decision for Melton Hall, a property near the coast with 7.5 acres, a walled rose garden, and a wildflower meadow. The staycation plan focused on school-holiday timing and family enjoyment.

Across three floors, rooms remain consistently beautiful and restrained, with curated art, floor-length curtains, and comfortable beds.

"Each room is consistently beautiful and restrained - zero fussiness, just tasteful details, floor-length curtains, curated art, and comfortable beds. The final stop on our initial house tour was undoubtedly my children's favourite room, and my favourite design quirk... Press on a bookcase in the hallway to reveal a cosy movie room, complete with Monitor Audio Dolby Surround Sound and a deep so"
