Swansea, The Gower & Carmarthenshire
Although there's a Georgian look to this huge stone house at the edge of the village, it's actually a modern build. The three guest bedrooms are luxuriously decked out with dark wooden furniture, white Italian marble en suites and spa baths. To preserve the rarefied atmosphere, it doesn't take bookings for children under 16.
Audiophiles can make advance requests to use the state-of-the-art 'Listening Room', which has a system that must be heard to be believed (and takes two hours to warm up!).
