Luxury 9-Bedroom Holiday House with Cottage – sleeps 20 – tennis court

Do you remember holidays that seemed to last forever?

Walks, talks, cake for tea, books by the fire…

WELCOME TO RUSHAY

A large, luxurious country house built in 1906, with a converted stable cottage across the courtyard, Rushay sleeps up to 20 guests in 9 bedrooms: two king-size rooms, six doubles (with one en suite), an en suite ground floor double bedroom for easy access and an en suite attic dormitory with four singles. 

The principal rooms face south and west, bay windows filling with light, with views across unspoilt countryside. High ceilings, waxed wooden floors, and a palette of whites amplify the sense of air and space. Beds and furniture, rugs and pictures, all chosen with expert care. Kate’s interiors have appeared in World of Interiors and Ben Pentreath’s English Decoration; Jason (co-founder of the luxury travel company G&T Garden Tours) writes for Country Life magazine.

The house was completely renovated in 2021 using local, recycled materials wherever possible, staying true to its Arts & Crafts origins while ensuring modern comfort.

Light, bright, beautiful. It’s as lovely as it looks. Our children were like wood nymphs, galloping around in the bluebells, while we had all our meals in the garden. Light and nature pours in through every window. Beautiful.
