THE WALLED GARDEN DYRHAM, BATH
Perhaps the most ornate vegetable store in England, The Walled Garden began life as a potato house for Dyrham Park. A little closer to home, this romantic retreat sits on the western edge of the Cotswolds, not far from Bath and all its gleaming treasures.
It's impossible not to fall for this charming garden folly from the moment you potter up the old stone steps with their hand-painted iron railings and set eyes on the view over the valley. Hugging the border of the Cotswolds AONB, this unique retreat resides in the original kitchen garden of Dyrham House and was restored by its latest owner, a landscape gardener, who converted it into a luxury self-catering cottage over 200 years after the first stones were laid. The house is a romantic hideaway in all four seasons; whether roaming the orchards in search of figs and pears or tipping your toes between the rainbows of the waterfall down by the river.
The gardens really are the crowning jewel in this extraordinary home. Beyond the apple tree walkway and through the Gothic garden door, a river, waterfall and Victorian pool all compete for attention - not forgetting the tennis court and pavilion further on. Sleeps 2 or 4 guests, from £1,295 per week, £950 per short break.
