Our guests to date agree that we have achieved just that - and with more than a touch of the Wow! factor added in. 
The walls throughout the house are painted in a warm shade of cream and the soft furnishings and carpet have been chosen in complemenatary muted tones. The overall effect is one of luxury, tranquility and calm.   Each of the 3 reception rooms is furnished with sofas in shades of cream, brown and duck-egg blue, each has a flatscreen TV, 2 have open fires and a Sky TV connection, and there are 2 TEAC CD/ipod players and a PS3 console.
