The July edit

country hotel
Rejoice! The Beckford Group has now opened its stunning 'small village hotel and restaurant' in the Nadder Valley, Wiltshire. Psst ... there's another Beckford opening on the horizon too.
artwork
Yes art is subjective, but more than one of us got wonderfully lost staring into the fascinating collages by this acclaimed artist based in Penryn.
veggies
Do veggies right. Get a subscription for a bountiful weekly box. It's full of ultra-fresh, seasonal and organic produce direct from this little farm. Egg and wildflower upgrades optional.
cap
We heart this Cornish wardrobe essentials store, especially its strong accessories game. Exhibit one: their cotton Dad Cap in bright white, which can be worn with literally everything.
accommodation
These bougie cabins can be found just outside the Cotswolds' famous Broadway. They're set within their own hedged plots, have all the specs plus there's a sauna cabin next door. It's time to put everything down and relax.
cheese
Ditch the camembert. Gert Lush is a bloomy white-rind organic round from Somerset and it's ridiculously moreish.
bowl
Avoid cereal-bowl wars these summer holidays with these gorgeous, practical and keepsake-worthy monogram bowls, made by a revered Wiltshire potter.
dog lead
Seeking cool dog-owner status? Kit your canine out with one of these beautiful leads, crafted with care in Devon using Dartmoor wool.
Pick your own stunning ethical flowers at this B-Corp regenerative Cornish farm's open day on July 18. The farm donates all profits to UK conservation projects.

Banish the winter blues with a getaway in one of Glebe House's new guest cabins and a steamy session in the new wood-fired sauna.

We're intrigued by this non profit pop-up that collaborates with notable chefs. Give it a whirl via the Burns Night Feast taking place later this month.

Penryn-made jewellery inspired by the rocks, fauna and green seas of the north Atlantic.

New year, new restaurant for the hit list. This neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar in Penzance looks deliciously promising.

R&R beckons at this gorgeous Elizabethan manor in the Cotswolds.
