Carriage House and Zelda's Retreat have private entrances and gardens for a completely private experience. French doors in the William Morris and Rossetti open onto an enclosed garden allowing you to take a whirlpool with the doors open and feel like you're taking a whirlpool outside!
The Cloisters is our extraordinary, "one of a kind" 1300 sq ft second floor pet-friendly suite in our new carriage house, Griffin Cottage.
The 20' x 24' living room, with its hand-carved paneling imported from India, has a four person Inglenook fireplace, a very comfortable sofa and two comfortable side chairs. There is a 50" plasma HDTV with 6.1 surround sound and multi-format DVD player for excellent visual and sound reproduction. And, for corporate retreats, there is a 110" projection screen - ideal for your PowerPoint presentations! There are ceiling speakers in the Spa room, shower and bedroom to allow you to enjoy music throughout the Cloisters.
The living room has a butler's station complete with refrigerator, microwave, coffee/tea maker, glasses, plates and eating utensils. Ideal for spending your first evening having a meal in the suite.
The 14' x 17' Spa room has a two person whirlpool and fireplace. As one of our guests remarked after using the whirlpool, "this is the most sensual experience you can have legally!" There is a remote control to automatically tilt the blinds open and closed and a second to start the fireplace.
The spa room is ideally suited for singles or couples massages and massage services are available. We do have the services of one of the best massage therapists.
The large 6' x 8' shower has multiple jets, is thermostatically controlled, with a "rain shower" shower head; and there are two seats so that you can relax and enjoy your steam bath.
The bedroom has a king bed and there are bath robes for your use. We have just added a 40" LCD HDTV for watching DVDs. A three-zone heating/air conditioning system ensures you will be comfortable in each room of the suite.
We have recently enclosed the back garden, so your pets can freely move from the Cloisters to the garden.
