Mirador

A short drive down a country lane brings you to Mirador: an impressive, custom-designed retreat with deeply luxurious features. Here, you can combine time spent in the nature-rich Surrey Hills with wellness, fitness, and shared relaxation.

Mirador is a bright and welcoming base for group stays. Its thoughtful design angles the property south, with its face to the sun, while floor-to-ceiling doors allow natural light to infuse the space. As you approach, pale golden stone and cedar cladding create an immediate sense of contemporary style.

Inside, the property lives up to this promise. This is a bolthole beautifully equipped for “rest mode”. Among its facilities, you’ll find a private home gym with a Peloton bike, Pilates ring, treadmill, weights, and yoga mats. A dedicated cinema room lends itself to movie nights, while the sitting room becomes a haven for feet-up reading.

At Mirador, meals feel like shared occasions. The light, open-plan kitchen and dining space encourages the type of slow-paced milling around that goes with group cooking and pre-dinner drinks. During warmer seasons, throw the doors wide so your party can spill onto the sun terrace outside. Here, you’ll find a second dining table and a barbecue; perfect for summer evening suppers.

The first floor is home to four spacious bedrooms, sleeping eight guests in total. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and super-king-size bed, with full-height doors leading to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The second bedroom features a king-size bed and en-suite shower, while two double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

Outside, this luxury holiday home is styled to impress. From May to mid-September, make use of the heated swimming pool, with its potential for early-morning dips or sunset swims. Afterwards, pour a drink and bask on a poolside lounger, or venture out to take in the landscaped gardens. A stroll across the lawns will reveal a pond encircled by wildflowers, and a fountain water feature.

And, when you’re ready to explore further, Mirador places you within easy reach of local walks and beauty spots. The pretty village of Ockley is just two miles away, nestled among the wider Surrey Hills. If you’re staying as a group, there’s an abundance here to discover, as well as plenty of room in which to do – blissfully – nothing at all.
