When did bathrooms become the accepted dumping ground for any piece of coastal-themed tat? As great swathes of London decamp for their long-weekends-on-sea, I have one plea: be careful with what you haul back.
Because we all know what makes a Great British holiday home. From Burnham Market to Lyme Regis, Deal, Newquay and Devon… it is the Great British nautical loo. Part of our culture, yes, but because your Whitstable Airbnb — its lavatory replete with anchor-print wallpaper, oil-painted waves, a lifebuoy ring affixed adjacent to the sink — seems charming, these seaside flourishes have no place in actual homes.
