Dimmet

Time to step back into the groovy 70s now at this effortlessly cool time capsule retreat– a must for any vintage and retro lovers! ‘Dimmet’ is a Devon word meaning the half-light at the end of a day just as the sun sets, and we’re sure she’s probably seen a few! The interior of this two-bedroomedbungalow has been bespoke designed by film set designer Marina Morris, and it oozes style and disco-inspired sophistication. Geometric wallpaper, 70s bedsteads and furnishings and even 70s box set collections and dressing-up clothes in the wardrobes all await you here,for a fully immersive trip back to the times of spacehoppers and polyester!

The Windmill Suffolk

There are windmills, and then there is The Windmill Suffolk!  A unique restorationthat has seen the property win numerous accolades, this is an architectural marvel both inside and out and offers truly extraordinary contemporary accommodation, standing tall and proud in the Suffolk countryside. From the opulent marble and mosaic bathroom to the distinctive award-winning metallic roof, this is a chic retreat for a romantic break for two or a small group of four looking for something with sheer wow factor. Located just two miles from historic Lavenham, ifyou manage to leave the mill (we have our doubts!) historic towns and coastal gems await.


The Apple Treehouse

Perfect for a larger family looking for a fairytale treehouse experience,this enchanting home from home is designed with every comfort in mind. The quirky character of Apple Treehouse starts from the moment youset eyes on the triangular windows, spiral staircase and octagonal rooms. The sunken wood-fired hot tub is an instant hit and the outdoor deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some late summer sunshine. Sleeping up to 6 people in its three spacious bedrooms, you can even bring your pooch along, and with the gorgeous Somerset scenery on your doorstep you’ll be aching to get out and explore.
