The popular film The Holiday is known for many things: romance, the iconic cast, and, of course, the two homes in which Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet stay in. Well, now the cozy home that Kate Winslet owns (and Cameron Diaz stays in) in The Holiday is now available to rent on Airbnb.
The adorable home is currently owned by Jon Bromley, 58, and his wife, Cressida, 52, who moved into the cottage in 2019 after sighting it in a property magazine. The couple didn’t even recognize the significance of their home until they saw people taking pictures outside.
Once they two realized how popular the home was, they decided to list their home on Airbnb. Guests can now stay for an average price of €295 a night, with bookings already planned as far ahead as summer 2023.
The charming cottage includes three bedrooms and is located in Holmbury St. Mary, Surrey. It also boasts an AGA stove, underfloor heating, a landscaped garden and a flagstone-laid terrace. Better yet, lovely views over the Surrey hills.
The property came to be featured in the film when researchers from the movie visited. They decided it was too far from the location of the cast and crew in London, so their solution was to recreate it brick by brick in a studio.
The version of the cottage seen in the film is a match to the real-life home. Everything from the home’s picket fence and country garden to the rural track that Diaz slips on was meticulously recreated by filmmakers.
On the DVD commentary, production designer for the film, Jon Hutman, says he had been on the hunt for the “cutest, smallest, most English cottage that we could find” when he spotted the charming cottage.
In the holiday rom-com, Amanda Woods (Cameron Diaz) leaves Los Angeles for a holiday in rural England, swapping her mansion for a quaint country cottage owned by Iris (Kate Winslet). Over her visit, she meets Iris’ brother Graham (Jude Law), and they fall for each other. Over 16 years later, the movie is a beloved Christmas favorite for many.
The owner, Jon, said, “I’m just really proud of it. It’s a very lovely house and we’re very lucky.”
I had bookings straight away. Our first guests were a few weeks ago for two nights. They were scientists from Cambridge and really enjoyed it.”
“It’s one of those getaways where you go and hide yourself somewhere in a little village. There’s nothing here but a pub next door – no shops.”
