The Dreamiest Vacation Rental: A Designer’s English Farmhouse

What’s better than a cozy cottage in the English country side?

If you have watched Nancy Meyer’s The Holiday way too many times ( I’m guilty of that) and dream of a vacation in the English country side – you’re in luck.  British interior designer Rita Konig, whose colorful and charming style can be found in some of the hippest places here in Los Angeles, Hotel 850 and the San Vicente Club, has the dreamiest vacation rental.  She recently renovated and designed her family’s historical British farmhouse “Northfarm” in county Durham in northeast England.

A week with your family and friends in this cozy space set among rolling pastures is surely good for the soul!
