A little of the story behind your stay
Thoughtful spaces.
A shared eye
for the details.
Our ongoing collaboration with Rita Millat.
A comfortable room is about more than how it looks. It’s somewhere to settle in, spend time together and feel at home. Working with interior designer Rita Millat has helped us bring that feeling into our cottages, one considered change at a time.
A relationship that keeps growing
Little changes.
A lovely difference.
Rita continues to help us refresh our holiday cottages. Sometimes it’s a small tweak or a new perspective on a room; sometimes it’s a more involved collaboration. Her input has helped us improve the spaces while keeping the character of Patty’s Barn.
This is an ongoing relationship, with each cottage evolving at its own pace. We want our spaces to feel cared for, comfortable and ready for you to make yourself at home.

A closer collaboration
Meet Patty’s Croft.
Our five-star cottage was created in collaboration with Rita. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and space for six, it brings a little extra comfort to a countryside stay.

A little television
in our story.
Michelle appeared alongside Rita when BBC’s Interior Design Masters visited Patty’s Barn. It’s another part of the story behind a collaboration that continues today.
Since then, our work together has continued through thoughtful updates to the cottages and our collaboration on Patty’s Croft.
