A Triumph of Poems, songs & Cinema
This 6 bedroomed Mini Manor is one where we have truly gone to town with every bedroom! As you would expect from the name, each room is based on a book or collection - of poems or songs or films. We have the extraordinary 1001 Nights and the stunning “Three men in a boat” where we even went to the extent of having a boat-maker build one into the walls!

Reception Rooms
Anthology has a number of reception rooms. The most relaxing is a large and brightly coloured living room, filled with pinks and blues.
There is a well-stocked and beautifully modern kitchen, with purple and white lacquered cabinets and excellent appliances. This connects with a spacious dining room for all the guests in the Mini Manor to be able to eat together.
The 6 bedrooms
Neiges D’Antan
The "Ballade des dames du temps jadis" ("Ballade of Ladies of Time Gone By") a poem by François Villon that celebrates famous women in history and mythology. Mais où sont les neiges d'antan? translated into English by Rossetti as "Where are the snows of yesteryear?" This is reflected in the installation of the bathroom and the cool icy colour scheme.
Deluxe Room | Double or Twin | 24.5m2
1001 Nights
This incredibly unique and beautiful bedroom draws inspiration from Arabian Nights with the intricately tiled bathroom with alcove bath including drapes, marble sinks and ornate fittings to the specially crafted bed frame - it is truly a sight to behold!
Deluxe Room | Double | 25.5m2
Post-Scriptum
A postscript is an afterthought, a thought that's occurring after the letter has been written and signed, however this room is definitely not an afterthought, with the bright colours, and beautiful book built into the wall.
Superior Room | Double or Twin | 19.2m2
Furnished & Burnished
Inspired by the line ‘‘Furnish'd and burnish'd by Aldershot sun’ from a poem by John Betjeman after he was struck by the beauty of Joan Hunter Dunn and his fantasising about them being engaged and playing tennis together in Aldershot. The tennis net that is part of the bath and the tennis balls in the wall.
Superior Room | Double or Twin | 18.1m2
3 Men In A Boat
Based on Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, the humorous account of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames. The room reflects the jovial feel of the travel book with sails over the bath and a built in sailboat to one of the walls. If you look closely at the rowing photography on the wall you might recognise our owner Mike from his Oxford rowing days.
Family Room | Double x2 | 28.6m2
Come into the Garden, Maud
An ode to gardening books the room really does bring nature indoors with its huge windows and floral decor. The room is located on the ground floor and has a walk in wet room style bathroom so suitable with those who struggle with mobility.
Classic Room | Double | 18.8m2
