Ease into the weekend with a collection of things we've been enjoying lately. Thoughtfully chosen, ready to inspire...
Retreat - Cove Valley
Cove Valley in Devon is home to three beautifully considered cabins, set within 300 acres of rewilded countryside on the edge of Exmoor. Here, peaceful seclusion, wood-fired bathing and thoughtful design invite a slower pace, shaped by the landscape and seasons.
Soul - Saunas by the Sea
Saunas by the Sea brings the warmth of a wood-fired sauna to some of North Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches. Set beside the water at Baby Bay, Harlyn and Polzeath, each hand-built sauna offers a restorative ritual of heat, sea air and cold-water immersion.
Literary - John of John by Douglas Stuart
Douglas Stuart’s John of John turns to the Outer Hebrides for an intimate story of faith, family and concealed desire. Following a young man’s uneasy homecoming, the novel traces the bonds between fathers and sons, and the private cost of a life shaped by duty, longing and repression.
Epicure - The Bull Inn
The Bull Inn in Totnes serves seasonal, ingredient-led food guided by thoughtful sourcing. Its veg-first menu moves between organic vegetables, mindful meat and responsibly sourced fish, with every dish cooked from scratch.
Create - Helford Signal Works
Drawing on maritime tradition, vintage typography and the visual language of the coast, Helford Signal Works creates distinctive pennants and house flags. Made by hand in Cornwall, each piece brings a true sense of place.
Audio - The Muse Playlist Nº4
Moving from the loose rhythms of The Meters and Herbie Mann to the tender songwriting of Madison Cunningham and Stephen Fretwell, this collection makes for a richly textured soundtrack for time taken at your own pace.
