The Abbot's Room, Parkhall Luxury Country Cottages

The stairway opening from the inner hall leads towards the luxurious bedrooms. Passing through the Medieval archway the four-poster bed in The Abbot’s Room, that was once Abbot John of London’s personal quarters, has a romantic look that perfectly compliments the specially weaved Gainsborough fabrics that were used to create the fabulous red and gold silk curtains. This look forms the inspiration for the whole room and is echoed throughout creating a most relaxing atmosphere. The design and colour of the carpets and wall decoration was inspired by the magnificent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the world’s finest museum of decorative art and design.

A large mirror over the dressing table is highlighted with lights that reflect down onto the antique oak stool. A spacious fitted wardrobe comes complete with padded hangers and deep shelves and next to the four-poster bed are two bedside cabinets with hand etched glass carafes, flowers and hand made chocolates. One of the many special touches to be found here are generous towels wrapped in ribbons and bows and luxury toiletries in the en-suite double shower room. A selection of dvd’s to watch on the wall mounted large screen and magazines and books to read provide the temptation to stay and enjoy this charming room, leaving exploration of the countryside until later.
