Linhaven Hall, Berkshire

This country house makes it easy to kick back and relax—light and airy but with plenty of cosy charm thanks to its barn-style design.

Big, bright windows let the peaceful countryside in, while wooden beams and pillars give it that lovely country feel. Outside, there’s a hot tub, a terrace, and a large garden with swings, a slide, and a Wendy house—ideal for chilling out. Plus, there’s WiFi throughout the house.

The six comfy bedrooms invite you to snuggle up with crisp cotton sheets and soft throws. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, one with an en-suite, and there are three more bathrooms to share.

The spacious sitting room has squishy sofas and a big TV, perfect for cosy evenings with family and friends. If you fancy some fun, the games room next door has a pool table.

The country kitchen comes with a breakfast bar, great for prepping food and chatting while watching the horses in the yard. The airy dining room is just right for sharing special moments over meals with your group.
