You will fall head over heels for Honeyfield House. This historic 1850s cottage is just five minutes from Robe and set amid fragrant lavender, honeysuckle and olives. It offers just one couple a delicious blend of French provincial style with a dash of Mediterranean flair.

Rough-hewn limestone contrasts with the soft curving lines of plush furnishings to create a space in the style of a French salon, but with a sense of light and freshness that is rarely found in a historic cottage. The centrepiece of the room is a large stone fireplace (lie in bed and see the flames dancing in the hearth) and there is a dining area, kitchen and queen-size bed with crisp linen. The indulgent bathroom has a sunken bath and looks out through a floor-to-ceiling glass wall over a very private courtyard. Spa treatments and in-cottage dining can be arranged.

Honeyfield Cottage is just one charming pick from Robe Lifestyle's exclusive accommodation: ranging from adorable cottages such as Honeyfield to stunning apartments and beach houses in and around Robe.
