Fate Led Hotelier Julia Ashwood to a 150-Year-Old Farmhouse by the Sea

A world away from one of the grand hotels chronicled in her lifestyle journal 'The Vista', Julia Ashwood’s home is a haven for family life. Standing for 150 years, the cottage has its fair share of quirks – from charming original features (“lovely big, wide floorboards and weathered timber details”) to less welcome ones (“all the snakes and the creepy crawlies that come with old houses”). Leave any formality at the (bright red) door and step into her world, where walls are filled with art, cubby houses double as cocktail bars, and mornings are marked by whale watching and whistling kettles.
