Edmund’s Choice of Extraordinary Feature

“The Farmhouse is the ultimate luxury retreat, but my favourite aspect of the property would be the cinema room. With it’s enormous screen, comfy sofas and large beanbags, it’s the perfect place to relax with the whole family after a long day out exploring.”
