Amy – a lifestyle journalist – lives in the adjacent house with her 2 children and bouncy dog. She absolutely adored decorating the old workshop, spending happy weekends choosing the blend of high-end, flea market and antique shops furnishings.
She loves
“Soaking in the claw-foot tub, candles burning, music playing.”
We love
All the generous and thoughtful extras, that make it so special. Bramley products, thick bathrobes and masses of books and DVDs.

The hideaway is in the owner’s garden, 10ft from the house, but she and her children are very respectful of your privacy.
Sustainability.
The hideaway’s main USP is that most of the furniture and crockery is vintage/antique/charity shop/flea market. The owner tried to buy preloved as much as possible.
