HOTEL REVIEW


lights from Diffuse. Sawn off logs stacked ceiling high flank a traditional marble fireplace in the Drawing Room, with bold portrait paintings by celebrated local artist Robert Lenkiewicz adorning the walls. Each of the nine guestrooms in the main house is unique, yet all blend in beautifully with the quirky nature of the old White House. Period features have been restored and preserved and sit alongside bold, modern design statements in the form of colour and pieces of furniture. Particularly noteworthy are the ornate, twisted metal beds by Jaz Asbury, and the bold statement wallcoverings by the likes of Osborne & Little, Tektura, Timorous Beasties, and Jocelyn Warner. Seven of these rooms benefit from views across the grounds, and the two remaining rooms have their own quaint attractions. The design concept for the Gwendolyn Room invokes a fairytale incorporating elements of the Trewhiddle Hoard discovery, Cornish legends and other ephemera discovered during the renovation of the site. This tale


is writ large across the ceiling of the room. Guests who follow the story will read that a map showing the location of hidden treasure is on the back of the portrait painting in the room. The Adam & Eve room meanwhile has a moss green carpet, Moooi Rabbit lights and wallpaper depicting birds and bats to recreate the feel of a walk in the woods indoors. These manor house rooms are complemented by 56 Woodland Rooms in the newbuild extension, all with private balconies. These rooms follow a more standardised formula, using contemporary design to integrate elements of nature and the external parkland surroundings internally. Four schemes are distributed throughout the rooms with bespoke detailed casegoods for each scheme supplied by Curtis Furniture. Also located in the new extension is Acorns – an additional function / restaurant space, where plans are afoot for a kids club to be introduced next Summer. The Clearing Spa is located in the old


stable yard which dates from the 1870s, comprising a walled yard, carriage house
