The Holiday Houses: Bathrooms

The Holiday bathroom-off 

{like Face-off, right? Right?.....}

must be the ultimate test of form over function.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE character in houses, it provides warmth like nothing else but would I choose Rosehill Cottage's squeezily small bath when I could have that incredible room in Amanda's American house? 

No.

Just look at those incredible storage cupboards.

All those fluffy white towels.

The view.

The space.

I adore that bathroom. 

So why do I keep coming back to the English Country bathroom at Rosehill Cottage?

The sloping ceiling;

the hideously dangerous wall lamp

{gotta love English eccentrics and our crazy electrics....

though I should point out it's completely illegal}

the pewter finish of the roll top bath, 

those taps.

However, there's no two ways about it.

 I am a stretch-out-in-the-bath girl. 

There's just no way I could put up with that itty-bitty bath.

A veritable dilemma.

Never fear, though, I have a plan. 

We can turn the bath sideways along the sloping wall. 

I do realise that the comedy moment of Cameron Diaz squished into the teeny tiny bath would be gone but I think we can live without the laffs for the sake of a full sized tub to fill with copious amounts of deliciously-scented bubbles.

Modern or Country?

Which will YOU choose?

Aaaarrghh, I can't wait!
