Gresham Hall

Gresham Hall works well for large families or groups of ten needing their own space. The five bedrooms include a four-poster bed, a sleigh bed, and three rooms with zip-and-link singles that can be configured as twins or doubles, each with its own bathroom. The ground floor has two living areas—one with a 50" television and open fire, the other with a sound system—plus a kitchen outfitted for serious cooking, with electric and Aga ovens, a dishwasher, and separate utility room. Bedlinen, towels, and Wi-Fi are included; heating and initial fuel for the fires come with your stay.

The property sits on landscaped grounds with a garden, sitting-out area and gas barbecue. A private hot tub is available by arrangement, and there's a shared tennis court for guests staying on the wider estate. Parking accommodates five cars. One small dog is welcome. The coast lies three miles away. Smoking is not permitted inside.
