What happens here

One location. Four good reasons to take it over.

Filming

The Village

Shere. You’ve seen it at the cinema.

The Holiday and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason both filmed in this village. Netley Mill House sits on its edge — the same lanes, the same hills, two and a half private acres of it.
