“We don't do turndown chocolates and a checklist. We do a fire lit by four and breakfast until noon — the things that actually make a stay feel like one.”
Margot took over the House from her aunt, who ran it as a family home with the occasional paying guest for thirty years before it became eleven rooms in earnest. The garden, the honesty bar, and the eight-til-noon breakfast are all hers — the rest, she kept exactly as she found it.
She's usually the one who answers the door, and the one who remembers how you take your coffee by the second morning.
No activity schedule, no welcome packet full of suggestions. The garden, the sauna, and the footpaths are there when you want them — and just as much House when you don't.
Breakfast comes from the walled garden and a short list of local farms — whatever's actually ready gets served, which changes the menu more than any chef would like.
