The Cottage in "The Holiday" The iconic Rosehill Cottage from the 2006 film "The Holiday," home to Kate Winslet's character Iris, is not a real existing house. Its exterior was a temporary set built in a field near the village of Shere in Surrey, England, specifically overlooking St. James Church. Interiors were filmed on a soundstage in Los Angeles.
Filming Locations
Holmbury St. Mary in the Surrey Hills inspired the cottage's quaint village setting, with Honeysuckle Cottage there serving as a key design influence, though it was never used for filming. Exterior shots captured the charm of Shere, a picturesque spot in the Guildford district close to Dorking and Guildford.
Real-Life Replicas
A precise replica exists in Ellijay, Georgia, in the North Georgia mountains, available as a vacation rental for fans seeking the film's cozy vibe. Honeysuckle Cottage in Holmbury St. Mary was briefly rentable on Airbnb but is no longer listed.
