Rubens Rooms on the Ashton Estate near Oundle sleeps two in one bedroom.

Nestling on the idyllic Ashton Estate, the Rubens Rooms is a romantic, pet-friendly retreat for two, occupying an elevated first-floor position with far-reaching views across the grounds of historic Ashton Wold House in Oundle, Northamptonshire. Spacious and beautifully finished, the apartment sets the tone for a memorable stay from the moment you step inside.

The elegant living and dining space, framed by feature windows and stylish furnishings, invites you to unwind on the generous seating, switch on the Smart TV and simply soak up the luxurious surroundings. The fully fitted kitchen is a joy to cook in, equipped with everything you need to prepare relaxed, intimate meals for two, best enjoyed at the chic dining table where you can look forward to leisurely mealtimes.

If you fancy a night off, the on-site pub and restaurant, The Chequered Skipper, is just a short stroll away. When it’s time to refresh, the sleek contemporary bathroom offers a freestanding bath and separate shower, perfect for indulgent soaks. At the end of the day, the super-king-size bed promises a blissful night’s sleep, just as a holiday should. Guests also have access to a shared games room (used by only one other apartment), while outside the estate’s stunning grounds provide the perfect setting for leisurely walks along woodland trails, as well as croquet, badminton and boules. As tempting as it is to stay within the tranquillity of the Ashton Estate, the surrounding area offers plenty to explore.

The nearby town of Oundle is well worth a visit, while attractions such as Nene Valley Railway, Hamerton Park Zoo, Duxford Imperial War Museum and Rutland Water are all within easy driving distance. History lovers can explore Elton Hall, Apethorpe Hall and Rockingham Castle or the magnificent Burghley House, while walkers can enjoy scenic routes along the Nene Way.

However you choose to spend your time at the Rubens Rooms, one thing is certain: you’ll be reluctant to leave.
