A secret no longer 🗞️ 

Introducing Yarlington Lodge, our newest venture in Somerset – a 19th Century rectory, coach house and cottage designed for gathering, celebrating and slowing down together.

After years of careful restoration, considered design and craftsmanship, we’re delighted to finally share a first look inside. Thank you to for capturing Yarlington Lodge so beautifully in their latest feature.

The Final Act: The Weavers 🌾 

As ‘A Farm in Mayfair’ comes down today, we close a short but special chapter in the foyer of .

A six-metre willow sculpture, shaped by ten weavers over 148 days and 1,184 hours of making.

Built from over 60,000 rods of Somerset willow, grown by fifth-generation Somerset growers Musgroves & Coates, and brought to life by hand through traditional craft.

Striped buff willow, soaked, sorted, and woven into form using scalloming and waling - techniques passed through generations, still shaping the work today.

With thanks to the weavers , and to the many hands behind the scenes - from gardeners and growers to creatives, engineers, makers, planners and teams on the ground - alongside the teams at Claridge’s Hotel and The Newt in Somerset, whose vision, imagination and trust carried this from first sketch to final flourish.

A little piece of Somerset, briefly at home in Mayfair.

for this week: One of our firm favourites - the Four Seasons fish tank 🐟

If you’ve spent time in the Four Seasons Garden chances are you’ve found yourself stopping here. Watching the fish rise through the water, catching the sunlight as they glide by, is one of those simple moments that never seems to lose its appeal.

Thank you to everyone sharing their moments from across the estate. Submissions close each Thursday at lunchtime, with a new photograph featured on our grid each week.
