The iconic cottage from The Holiday is now available to rent on Airbnb
Sign. Us. Up.
If there's one thing that injects a little Christmas spirit, it's festive films. Whether you're a fan of classics like Home Alone and The Santa Clause, or prefer a bit of Die Hard with a mulled wine, the fact remains that it's hard not to feel festive with a good helping from Hollywood.
However, if your Christmas film list sees a heavy emphasis on the rom-coms, then the likes of Love Actually and Last Christmas will be keeping you company.
And if you're a fan of The Holiday, then guess what? You no longer have to just pretend you're Cameron Diaz settling into that lovely quaint little cottage - you can actually go and stay there.
The home belongs to Kate Winslet's character Iris in the movie, and when she decides to pack her bags for a getaway to LA, Amanda comes to stay. And it's Rosehill Cottage where she meets Jude Law - and, spoiler alert, the pair inevitably fall in love.
Featuring the inglenook fireplace and original wooden beams as seen in the film, the cottage is available to rent on Airbnb.
The cottage was recreated at a studio in London for filming, but the original residence in Holmbury St Mary has gorgeous views of Surrey Hills and is surrounded by greenery. Lovely.
The charming cottage includes space for outdoor dining, as well as a log burner, an AGA in the kitchen and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
