The fully furnished property features a generous sitting room with stylish décor. The fabulous kitchen/dining room area is fitted with sleek cappuccino-coloured units with quartz worksurfaces and a range of high quality appliances. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.
Stairs rise to the first floor and two sumptuous bedrooms. The first bedroom boasts a super king-size bed and offers a relaxing escape, while the second bedroom is a spacious twin.

Arch Spa benefits from access to the fabulous gardens and grounds of this historic property. The earliest records for the site date back to the early 13th century. The original castle is thought to have been demolished in the 1600s, before renowned local architect Ignatius Bonomi partnered with Cuthbert Rippon of London to carry out extensive rebuilding work in 1798. Throughout the intervening years, the castle has seen a number of uses, before it was sold in 1980 and the private apartments were created.
The property is available furnished or unfurnished.
