Check in at The Holiday cottage
CLASSIC Christmas romcom The Holiday had many Americans fall in love with the quintessentially British home that Cameron Diaz (above) moved into after Kate Winslet moved out in a dream of a house swap.
Now, a replica is being built in Georgia’s Blue Ridge mountains — as a holiday let, of course. Designer Lucy Small said: ‘Everyone just loves this house . . . I thought, I could build this.’ Back in 2006, the studio used the exterior of a house in Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, and built an interior on a sound stage in LA. Ms Small admits that her version is not an exact duplicate: ‘Some things are just not possible, due to [building] code.’ But she added: ‘If you stay there, I want you to feel like it’s an old cottage in the English countryside — and Jude Law might appear at any minute.’
