点评:I swapped the coastal charms of Broadstairs for the rolling hills of Somerset, and what a brilliant decision that was! Thornfalcon Winery with hosts Sophie and Panu who delivered an extraordinary writing retreat that exceeded every expectation.Their warmth and passion shines through everything they do - a testament to their gift for hospitality.
This boutique winery is so much more than accommodation. I explored the vineyards, enjoyed champagne tastings, and ate beautifully curated food made with love. Their lake provided the perfect plunge pool (complete with a hilarious swan chase!) after basking in the sauna, a natural spot to unwind between writing sessions. The house itself, with its stunning décor and warm atmosphere, offered inspiration as I tried to crack on with my darkly comic spy thriller novel. Everything at Thornfalcon sparks creativity. The property even accommodated my rather unusual request to record a live podcast. Morning runs beyond the estate, writing sessions in the library, and evenings around a convivial dining table created memories I'll treasure forever.
Thornfalcon wasn't just a weekend away - it was a soul-restoring experience that sets an impossibly high bar for luxury hospitality. The perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and genuine care from hosts who truly understand what makes a stay unforgettable. I'll absolutely be back! Highly recommended for cortisol-spiked, burnt out millenials, people who want to be uncontactable, and anyone wanting a truly peaceful escape.
翻译:我放弃了布罗德斯泰尔斯的海岸魅力,转而选择萨默塞特的连绵起伏的丘陵,这真是一个绝妙的决定!我选择了Thornfalcon酒庄,酒庄的主人Sophie和Panu为我们带来了一次非凡的写作之旅,超出了所有人的预期。他们的热情和热情体现在他们所做的每一件事中,充分展现了他们待客之道的天赋。
这家精品酒庄不仅仅是提供住宿。我探索了葡萄园,品尝了香槟,品尝了精心烹制的美食。桑拿后,他们的湖边泳池堪称完美(还有一段搞笑的天鹅追逐戏!),是写作间隙放松身心的自然之选。酒庄本身拥有令人惊叹的装饰和温馨的氛围,在我努力创作我的黑色幽默间谍惊悚小说时,它给了我灵感。Thornfalcon的一切都激发着我的创造力。他们甚至还满足了我录制现场播客的这个不同寻常的要求。清晨在庄园外跑步,在图书馆写作,以及傍晚围坐在温馨的餐桌旁,这些都创造了我永生难忘的回忆。
Thornfalcon 不仅仅是一个周末的度假,更是一次令人身心放松的体验,为奢华的款待设定了无可比拟的高标准。这里完美融合了冒险、放松和真诚的关怀,房东们深谙如何打造难忘的住宿体验。我一定会再来的!强烈推荐给皮质醇飙升、疲惫不堪的千禧一代、渴望与世隔绝的人们,以及任何想要真正宁静逃离的人。
