Say it With Flowers: Cheshire

This Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse in the historic Cheshire town of Congleton doesn't shortchange guests when it comes to rooms. As well as the generously sized bedrooms, there are also three separate living rooms and kitchens, many with log-burning fireplaces or — in the case of one — an Aga stove to keep your toes warm. As well as there being no shortage of space to socialise in the traditionally appointed interior, the home also benefits from two garden spaces, one with a hot tub large enough to accommodate eight guests on a warm summer's evening. If it's too cold to be frolicking about outside, there are plenty of chic bars and restaurants in the locale, some even on the street on which the house sits. However, rural outings are just as easy, too — the outer boundary of the Peak District can be reached in twelve minutes in the car, while Biddulph Grange Garden only takes eight.

Home truths:
*The main guest must sign a waiver on behalf of the entire group before using the hot tub, which is also subject to availability
*The home has no private car parking space, but there's a paid car park three minutes' walk away
*The home is split across three levels, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
*There's no dedicated desk space, but there are lots of tables on which to carry out remote working
