BETHNAL
& BEC After moving their family to the rural village of Cottered in Hertfordshire, Vicky Saynor and her husband Chris took their first steps into the hospitality industry. Previously, Vicky lived in Tooting Bec and Chris in Bethnal Green, so upon their relocation and subsequent renovation of two dilapidated stables, Bethnal & Bec was born. “We found this property and attached to the house were two very run down stables, a barn and various other outbuildings. It’s right on the edge of the village and it’s beautiful,” said Vicky.

“We demolished the stables because they were so run down, and we wanted to create something that was sort of ‘Soho House-esque’ and urban chic. “We didn’t want to do something really tweed, so we went for a slightly edgier, luxury look.” Both the Bethnal and Bec hideaways aim to bridge the gap between self-catering properties and mainstream, five-star hotels. “The retreats each have a food pantry, in-room larders, and all the added extras that are there for guests to use exclusively,” said Vicky. www.luxurybnbmag.co.uk
