I'm fresh from a soul-soothing stay at Temple Guiting Manor, an exclusive-use property in the heart of the Cotswolds, where I was treated to some first-rate hospitality and the last few rays of summer sun before the onset of autumn's arrival. Just half an hour's taxi ride from Cheltenham, the Estate is spread across 14.5 acres of landscaped gardens, with various honey-coloured Cotswold stone barns and outbuildings that are bookable individually or together. Lovingly restored by owner Steven Collins and his wife Jane, the buildings have their own unique style, fabrics and furnishings and marry the comforts of home with the luxury of a boutique hotel. Like its sister property, Henry's Townhouse in Marylebone, a stay here is like stepping into different chapters of a storybook. Both Steven and Jane are avid art collectors, and it shows. Steven is a director of the Chelsea Harbour Estate, which includes The Design Centre, the largest interior design centre in Europe. Ja
