Rumours of a sequel to Christmas classic The Holiday seem to have been greatly exaggerated this year, after reports were shot down by cast members.
If you’re still clinging on to the hope of that reunion, you might need to wait a little longer–but a fine way to fill that void might have just fallen into your lap. In the most Christmassy of winter getaways, the cottage from The Holiday is now available to book online.
After the 50th rewatch of the romcom this year, you might decide that yes, it is time to live out that fantasy of staying in an adorable cottage. Thanks to a couple buying up the property and putting it up for rent on Airbnb, blissfully unaware of its iconography, you can.
Plus, the interiors are extra Christmassy, offering a cosy-as-hell fireplace; as well as fairylights and a Christmas tree for the festive season. Some might say it’s a doodle prodigy…
Honeysuckle Cottage sits in Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, and was found by producers looking for the most English cottage they could find. So if you fancy a getaway from London that’s surrounded by film royalty, you’ve found it. The only thing that could make it more Christmassy is another dusting of snow around these parts.
One footnote to be aware of is that we can’t guarantee that the stars of the film – including Jude Law and Cameron Diaz – have actually set foot in this very cottage (though we also can’t rule it out). Renamed Rosehill Cottage, what you see in the film is actually a recreation made for the purposes of the film, due to the actual spot being too far away from the cast and crew in London.
But COME ON. You can stay in a piece of Christmas movie history, which is obviously worth the price of £295 per-night…
