Secret Garden Games

Secret Garden Games: Berkshire

Despite being tucked away on the outskirts of Burnham village, it’s worth noting that this historic home is situated by the side of an – albeit fairly quiet – road. Although both cosy and capacious – featuring five bedrooms as well as separate breakfast, dining and sitting rooms – we’ll bet it’s this home’s four-poster bedroom and en-suite marble bathroom you’ll be fighting over. Nevertheless, in our opinion, the walled garden is the real showstopper – perfect for watching the kids play while enjoying alfresco drinks in the sun. Under an hour from London, this home’s location makes it ideal for daytrips to Windsor, Legoland and the Thames Valley.

Home truths:
*There’s free, private parking on the driveway here
*You'll have your own private entrance here
*This home is spread over three floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The fourth bedroom contains a small single bed, however the property benefits from having many trundle-style non fixed beds that slide out from underneath the man in beds. These are not dressed but one additional set of linen is provided for them
*Your host can provide two cots for free upon request, you’ll just need to bring your own linen
*There’s a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
