Relaxing...
Step inside the front door… discover lots of polished panelling, old beams, gleaming brasses, fresh flowers… and maybe even the odd creaking stair.
Savour the buzz of the bar… an oak settle, daily newspapers plus ‘the local rag’… old prints and carriage lamps… and a crackling fire in the dog grate.
Retreat to the quiet of the lounge… books and magazines, comfy wingchairs, the ticking of a grandfather clock… time for tea… or maybe one more brandy before bed.
