The open-plan living and dining room at Ruthlin, looking through to the bedroom

Inside Ruthlin

Invisible from most angles, Ruthlin was a former garage, built to an incredibly high standard by the previous owners. Using this foundation as inspiration, the interiors follow suit with Lusso bathrooms and Lucie Annabel wallpaper.

When you walk through the front door, your eye is immediately drawn to the little electric Aga adding a touch of farmhouse warmth. The armchairs look out over the garden to a bird feeder and the views beyond.

What you won’t find is a television, road noise or light pollution.

If work, streaming or podcast listening is unavoidable, there is robust and fast Starlink Wi-Fi giving you the choice whether to hide or not.

We have loved our stay at Ruthlin. Sarah has thought of everything to make this the perfect retreat. And such heavenly views.
