Bridal

'Voltaire' and neighbouring 'Burggraaf' are a pair of stunning newly completed contemporary barn conversions in a lovely rural location with glorious uninterrupted views across rolling fields and meadows to the sea. They may be near England's famous 'Jurassic Coast' but there's nothing old fashioned about their striking architecture, contemporary interior design and thoroughly luxurious fixtures and fittings. Renting either with a group of up to 12, or both for up to 24, is probably as close as it gets to the rock’n’roll dream of having sole use a boutique hotel. In fact, it may be even better as not many boutique hotels can boast of a games room, 42" plasma TV with full SKY package, Nintendo Wii, large indoor heated pool, sauna and cedar hot tub with glorious views over open countryside.

Each barn has six spacious en-suite bedrooms, which can be configured as twins or doubles. Each has a flatscreen TV, sumptuous Egyptian cotton linen and a luxurious bathroom, with bath as well as shower, and indulgent Aromatherapy Associates products. Opt for Voltaire's Kelly Hoppen-esque calming palette of taupes, lilac and amethysts. Or indulge in Burggraaf's Ian Schrager-esque striking interior with statement wallpaper in Indian-inspired bold jewel colours. Hen's in Voltaire have the benefit of a larger 'spa zone' with a steam room as well a sauna (Burggraaf has sauna only) and seperate games room and gym, whilst Burggraaf's are combined in one room. Burggraaf however has a larger central living area and bebefits from a double-height glazed entrance hall and catherdal ceiling, which floods it with natural light. Whichever you choose, there's little doubt that the Hen Break will be talked about long after the bride and groom have said their vows!
