It is considered one of the season’s most romantic movies, and now the cottage that inspired one of the locations in The Holiday has hit the market.

Honeysuckle Cottage, in the London commuter village of Holmbury St Mary near Dorking, was the inspiration of Kate Winslet’s character Iris’ home in the 2006 film.  

While the cottage itself was not used in the actual film the producers used the property as the basis for the specially designed set known as Rosehill Cottage, which is obvious to see in the uncanny similarities.
