After heading under the arches of the castle and parking in the designated off-road space, enter this sumptuous getaway and head right into the living room. Sure to inspire some home-cooking, the kitchen is fitted with the highest quality appliances, stunning cappuccino-coloured units with quartz worktops for an extra slick finish.
