Lund Collection is ideal base to see best Cotswolds has to offer

And that’s perfectly fine, but other travellers may want considerably more from their lodgings.

If you are a design lover, for example, you may be seeking interior inspiration from your chosen accommodation, as well as hoping that it will count as another, if not the main, attraction of your break.

In 2017, dynamic husband-and-wife duo Marie Soliman and Albin Berglund created Bergman Design House, a luxury design studio that specialises in the hotel, commercial, residential, and superyacht industries.

With over 25 years of combined experience and regarded internationally as leading creative movers and shakers, they have an enviable portfolio of projects at some of the UK’s most exclusive addresses.

This year, the Bergman Design House launched The Lund Collection, a new luxurious one-bedroom cottage with incredibly striking interiors in the Cotswolds. 

Providing inspiration and R&R in the English countryside, the design-centric private cottage is located just a stone’s throw from Chipping Norton, Great Tew and Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire and provides an oasis of calm for couples, friends and solo-travellers alike. 

Exquisitely decorated by Marie and Albin, The Lund Collection is home to a carefully curated collection of original artwork and vintage treasures alongside new bespoke furniture from the studio’s Black Berg Collection. 

From 17th-century Chinese ceramics and an 18th-century marriage armoire turned-showstopping drinks cabinet, to a modern and luxurious deep-soaking bathtub, design lovers will marvel at the wonders on display.

“What’s been so enjoyable about this project has been the ‘treasure hunt’ for the most incredible antique and vintage finds, all of which tell their own unique story while highlighting the beauty of the newer items next to them,” says Marie. 

“It’s an approach I like to call ‘organised chaos’ – the creation of a space that is both functional and timeless, with a playful hint of surprise or whimsical energy.”

With endless nature trails and photogenic villages to explore, there’s always something to do in the Cotswolds

The Lund Collection is inspired by the beauty of the Cotswolds and features a colour palette that reflects all four seasons, from the vibrant greens of summer to the russet-oranges of autumn.

Combine that with the work of some of the most distinguished furniture and textile artisans in the UK, including Upholstory, Robert Kime, Tori Murphy and de Le Cuona, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. 

Guests at the property will be treated to a fully stocked bar, a welcome hamper and a state-of-the-art Swedish Moccamaster coffee machine, ensuring they can immediately relax on arrival and feel at home.

Stepping outside the cottage, you’ll see rolling hills and lush green countryside, with nothing but fresh air and the sound of farm animals in a nearby field. 

With endless nature trails and photogenic villages to explore, there’s always something to do in the Cotswolds.

And should visitors wish to explore further during their stay, The Lund Collection is conveniently located near Westonbirt Arboretum, The Abbey House Gardens in England’s oldest town Malmesbury, and Bibury, described by textile designer, poet and artist William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England”.

Cheltenham and Cirencester, the largest town in the Cotswolds, are both a short drive away, and The Cotswold Way, which extends from the quintessential market town of Chipping Campden to the Roman city of Bath is easily accessible.
