BUCKET-LIST HOLIDAYS

STORY AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY LAUGHINGHOUSE

et’s say that your beloved’s fondest wish
is to see the Loch Ness Monster. You’re
L determined to make that happen, but
unless you’ve had the foresight to resurrect a
Jurassic-era plesiosaur—and let’s face it, so
few of us have—your options are limited.
You could try plying said sweetheart with
Scotch, strolling along the loch on a moonless
night, and hoping that a vaguely Nessie-
shaped log drifts past. Or, if you happen to be
a client of Loyd & Townsend Rose, a luxury
travel concierge company, you simply task
LTR with building a £24,000 replica beast
and hiring a captain to navigate her to a cho-
sen spot at a set time. Easy peasy.
Of course, LTR’s services extend well be-
yond constructing mythical monsters. Their
actual mission is to arrange exclusive use of
castles, country houses and stately homes
around England, Scotland, and Ireland---and
to top those extraordinary stays with bucket-
list experiences that suit each client’s individ-
ual needs and desires.

The Moult sits on a bluff above the
Kingsbridge Estuary in South Devon,
England.
Simpsons Wine Estate in Kent, England
produces still and sparkling wines.
