I have a total weakness for rustic spaces, do you? I spotted this cosy gem of a retreat over at Desire to Inspire yesterday and fell in love! 'Settle' is a retreat in Norfolk, England created by John - who owns and runs a reclamation yard, and his partner Jo - a well-known floral designer. The incredible resort offers guests a choice to unwind in rustic railway carriages, bell tents or a boutique cabin overlooking woodland and lakes. I'm particularly in enamoured by the railway carriages and cabin which combine earthy textures and heritage materials with contemporary comfort - so, it's just to turn up, light a fire, maybe run a bath (wait till you see the outdoor one!)... and relax.
The carriages:
My eye is on one of the three beautifully restored retired railway carriages. Each offer two berths, a lounge area with a wood burning stove as well as a bathroom and small kitchen - although you might prefer to cook supper over the lakeside fire pit!
The Cabin
If you'd prefer something a little more spacious, there's also the boutique cabin which looks like something out of a magazine (actually scrap that - it has been in a magazine!). Hand built by Jo and John, the fully equipped cabin has everything you might need for a relaxing retreat - a real home from home!
The questions is, would you go for the freestanding indoor bath, or the lakeside wood-burning tub?
Meet you there?
In case you're keen - hop over to Settle to find out more (or simply dream!).
Shall we indulge our shared love of rustic further today? How about these cosy gems?
Have a hyggelig day friends!

Love it, cozy but also stylish. British interiors have improved loads since my childhood.
ReplyDeleteisn't it beautiful? They have an amazing eye!
DeleteThat is so charming! The last photo made me drool - what a lovely view of the lake.
ReplyDeleteI know! Imagine waking up to that view each day, wonderful!
DeleteWish I could hop on a plane and head there now! That lakeside woodburning tub would be quite the experience!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I actually sent them a message about the woodburning bath as I've never seen one like this before and it's from Sweden!!! A brand called Hikki. It looks like heaven!
DeleteThat cabin is my idea of the perfect home. I would live there in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteLove that Annie - it is so beautiful!
DeleteFabulous! So much fun to have a peek into these unique spaces!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when I discovered it - I've never looked inside a converted railway train carriage before. Happy you enjoyed this too.
DeleteOMG, It's sooo amazing! I wish i had someplace likt this. I really like the colors and the whole design of this place.
ReplyDeleteYes, totally agree. It really is something else. So unique too!
