From the Editor
As advocates of the unconventional, we'd like to introduce you to Wasi-Sabi: not a spicy sauce for your sushi, but the new hot thing in home trends. This ancient Japanese philosophy centres on finding the beauty in imperfection; appreciating characteristics such as asymmetry, roughness and natural objects. This month we reveal a new look inside two classics as well as the latest addition to the Unique Home Stays portfolio. Whether the charm of a crooked old cottage or the chaos of a wildflower meadow, join us in celebrating these homes' wondrous peculiarities.

More than just good looks, every penny made goes to the Health Amplifier charity.

Full of history and evoking the romance of old-fashioned seaside holidays, The Chalk House invites guests to swim in the harbour, eat ice cream by the bucket-full and cosy up by the fire within its sumptuous new interiors.
