Tucked away in the Northamptonshire countryside,  Flore House and its grounds have been perhaps the dominant fixture in the pretty village of Flore since the early 17th century – originally a hunting lodge and now a superb adults-only boutique guesthouse that gives you a rare chance to experience a weekend in your very own country house.  Owned, renovated  and run by professional florist Georgie Dunn, it has two beautifully updated guest rooms, each  with their own entrances and access to 20 acres of grounds that include parkland, meadows and a lake. It's used for occasional film and fashion shoots and is the perfect rural bolthole for two people wanting to get away from it all for a few days.

First the rooms, Bramble and Bayberry, which have been updated with great taste and a flair for design, with contemporary features blending well with the historic character of the building. Bayberry is the slightly larger of the two, but both have the same level of facilities – a king-size bed, Smart TVs and Roberts DAB radios, good wifi, tea, coffee and biscuits, and spacious ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers and free-standing baths, robes and toiletries. You receive a breakfast hamper on the first morning that gives you everything you need for your stay, including cereals,  bread, butter and jam, teabags and coffee, fresh milk, and mineral water, and each room has a fully equipped kitchenette with fridge, boiling water tap, toaster and crockery and cutlery.  All very private and perfect if you're after a secluded break.

There's plenty to do, too. You could just spend your time lazily strolling around the grounds, or practising your shots on their private driving range and a putting green (keen golfers might want to pack their clubs). There are also plenty of walking opportunities in the area, including the start of the Nene Way long-distance path in the nearby village of Badby. If you're hooked on country house life, you could also consider a visit to Althorpe, the family seat of the Spensers, which is a short drive away – as are the superb 18th-century gardens of Stowe. Georgie is also planning to offer floristry classes and workshops, using flowers from the gardens,  and you're only 10 minutes' drive from Silverstone, making Flore House the ultimate base for attending a Grand Prix or another race meeting.   A beautiful spot that's like staying in your very own country house hotel.
