| Within Fenton
Tower’s walls, a restful but sophisticated ambience
has been created that lets you appreciate the magnificence of
the building. The aim has been to provide interiors that are easy
on the eye and comfortable to the body and so ensure a memorable
stay.
Comfort remains of paramount importance. At
every opportunity, the latest technology has been used for plumbing
and lighting while radiant under-floor heating keeps every room
at the perfect temperature all year round. All the upholstered
furniture and beds are the highest quality bespoke.
Using the soft matt finish of traditional limewash
the walls are kept pale to reflect the natural light flooding
through the castle’s windows.
Underfoot, you will find reclaimed flagstones
line the Dining Room, Great Hall and Library, while the en suite
bathrooms are finished in oak, and the bedroom floors are carpeted
in a wool fine loop. Rugs are scattered to add colour and interest
whether ancient kelims or bespoke plaids.
Every room and every suite is furnished individually
to create a special ambience. Windows are dressed simply in silk,
linen or quality cotton. Rooms are furnished with restraint using
unique antiques of oak or fruitwood from across Europe. One suite
boasts a 19th Century Italian silver-gilt four-poster bed. The
specially-commissioned refectory table in the Dining Hall was created
using old walnut timbers salvaged from a French château.
Whichever of the suites you choose, you can
opt for either goose-down duvets or embroidered cotton sheets
combined with pure wool blankets. What is more, you can always
keep in touch using the Internet and telephone connections in your
room. Or just relax in front of the latest digital TV (hidden within
a piece of antique furniture), watch something on the DVD player
or use the individual satellite decoder to access your choice
of international television channels.
Through a connecting door is your en suite bathroom.
Here you will find a wonderful choice of the old and new: either
relax in an antique bath or get re-invigorated under a powered shower.
