This house is based off Darien Castle, a houseplan by Dan Tyree. I have followed most of it faithfully, but there were aspects that needed to be adapted for the build limitations in TS3. The exterior is a bit understated, but this is what the plan appeared to be - plus I tried a stone with a bit of definition and it looked way too busy. The courtyard is the best exterior view, IMO, but I had a hard time getting a good picture of it. So you will have to just view the tiny ones below or install it to see. =)
The lot is zoned as residential, but it would work well to have this as a vacation hotel. It might work well to use the rabbithole rugs by Jynx to make the pub and nectary have visitors. I leave this up to you to decide. The pub, office and nectary could also be turned into an exercise room or additional bedrooms.

The exterior has a very formal, asymmetrical garden of box hedges that are almost maze like. There is a large patio at the back to fill with lounge chairs and seating for outdoor eating. You won't find any lighting on the patio to interfere with stargazing.
Overall the house is minimally furnished. The master suite and the second master suite are both furnished with sleeping and relaxing furnishings, along with large private bath suites. Each has a large walk in dressing room, it has just a dresser but additional "closet" deco can be added by you. The other two bed/bath suites have just the basics in bath/bed furnishings.
-Compatibility-
If you want this lot to appear as I have shown you will need ALL EPs/SPs. I have used build mode, furniture and patterns from all of them.
-CC Used but NOT included-
Morris Curtain from EA Store
Bathroom Tiles by me
Lot Size: 4x4

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
