Leave your coat and scarf on a hook by the door and allow yourself to be drawn into the warmth. Sink into a leather couch with a glass of something rich and decadent or light and bubbly, and prepare for a night of genuine conversation, deep belly laughs and true connections.

Spending time by a fireplace is the perfect way to unwind and relax. Studies have proven that staring into the flickering flames of an open fire can lower blood pressure and provide a sense of peace and well-being.

Whether you’re in the mood for romance, a few drinks with friends, a family reunion, or a catch up with a novel, there’s a cosy spot by a fireplace waiting for you.
