The Lost Music Hall

The South Hams, Devon

Created by a London dandy to serve as his secret retreat from society, this private wing of a Georgian manor lends guests a luxury abode in which to host long-awaited reunions. The 11-metre-tall ceilings, enormous guest rooms and heated outdoor pool hint at a history of wild soirées within the secluded valley setting. Think daytime cocktails by the pool and evenings spent tinkling the ivories of the baby grand piano with the party dancing upon the oak parquet floors beside.
