No. 72 Fire & Spa · English Cottage
Round Cedar Hot Tub Beside Fire Bowl
Outside a stone cottage, a flagstone and gravel patio features a cedar hot tub, weathered privacy screen, and cast-iron fire bowl bordered by an English cottage garden filled with roses, lavender, and blooming foxgloves.
Design notes
English cottage design is abundance with a plan. Look for brick, flagstone or gravel paths that give the eye a route, borders packed with roses, foxgloves, lavender, catmint and delphiniums, and a little structure from clipped box, a picket fence or an arbour. Materials are aged — reclaimed brick, painted timber, weathered stone — and there is always somewhere to sit: a bench under a tree, a bistro table by the door.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
