Symphonica Lodge sits a few steps from the hedge maze on the Dunskey Estate, with its own way into the historic walled garden. It's all on one level, which makes it easy for families. Inside, a big open room with tall windows holds the kitchen, a round dining table and sofas under painted walls of woodland, and there are two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Outside there's a sun-trap terrace and an enclosed garden.
