Describing Meyers as “a perfectionist,” Law explained during a November 2024 appearance on BBC Radio 2’s The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, “She toured the whole area and didn’t quite find the chocolate box cottage she was looking for. So she just hired a field and drew it and had someone build it.”
The production team completed Rosehill Cottage in just two weeks, with Meyers stating in a DVD feature, “We built that wall and we put in those trees. It really was just an empty field. It was a real tourist attraction while it was there.”
