In 'The Holiday', what is the name of the English cottage owned by Iris?

In “The Holiday,” Iris owns Rosehill Cottage, the picturesque English home she exchanges with Amanda Woods during the Christmas season.

The cottage is central to the film’s premise. Iris lives in Surrey and lists her home on a house-swapping website after learning that her former romantic interest, Jasper, is engaged. Amanda, living in Los Angeles and recovering from a breakup, accepts the exchange, sending the two women across the Atlantic and setting the film’s two romances in motion.

Rosehill Cottage looks like an old, lived-in English country home, but it was created specifically for the production. The exterior was constructed in a field beside St James’s Church in Shere, Surrey, while interior scenes were filmed on sets. The production team had found a genuine cottage that inspired the design, but its distance from London made it impractical for filming.

The real cottage that helped inspire Rosehill was Honeysuckle Cottage in Holmbury St Mary. That property is sometimes mistakenly identified as Rosehill Cottage itself, but the film’s named home is fictional.
