Camomile Cottage and our latest photoshoot
Well, what a wonderful photoshoot we had last week for all our new fleeces and skins! The weather was glorious and we were also spoilt by having such a fab location - the beautiful Camomile Cottage in Eye, Suffolk.
Aly and Tim Kahane, the owners of this luxury bed and breakfast - were the most welcoming hosts in letting us use this 450 year old farmhouse for the day. Camomile Cottage is a traditional grade II listed 16th century timber framed building, nestled in the picturesque Suffolk countryside.
We could not have had a more lovely backdrop to photograph our fleeces and hides. We made the most of the greenery and space outdoors in the summery weather, like with this shot featuring some of our bespoke quad sheepskins.
Inside is equally fabulous. The decor is authentic and charmingly traditional - the interior boasts real log fires, unspoilt original timber interiors, romantic period furnishings. It feels very homely - you can happily imagine snuggling up here in the cold of winter.
Fabulous photography
As always, Mike Harrington and assistant Annie of Packshot People were wonderful to work with on this shoot and did such a great job to get so many fabulous shots in the time we had. Here's a behind the scenes shot of them in action, takings shots of me as I shake out one of our lovely Welsh Sheepskins. However, there was one model who was the star of the show...
Fabulous Fozzie
Like us, the Kahane's are big dog lovers (you can bring your dog if you come to stay at Camomile Cottage) and we absolutely fell in love with their Labradoodle called Fozzie. So gorgeous!
To thank Fozzie for her hard work as being a superstar model for the day, we gave her a new Rare Breed Sheepskin Pet Bed. Here she is enjoying it during a well deserved rest...
A super stay in Suffolk
If you are ever looking for a great place to stay in Suffolk, then Camomile Cottage comes highly recommended but don't just take our word for it... It was recently picked as the winner of an award for 'Best B&B with Quirky Character' by Dorset Cereals.
