At the heart of the Shropshire village of Hodnet, The Bear Inn is the kind of pub that feels like it’s lived a thousand lives. With a history that includes bear pits, lingering ghost stories, and generations of local lore, it’s long been a place where stories are swapped as freely as pints.
In today’s episode, Molly sits down with Tom Heber-Percy to hear how he’s reimagined this much-loved village pub for a new era, honouring its rich past while creating a space that feels warm, welcoming, and alive once more. From the weight of history to the joy of bringing a community hub back to life, this conversation is a reminder of why pubs matter, and why their stories are worth preserving.

Perched above the rugged north Cornish coast, Kudhva is part design experiment, part wilderness retreat - the original landscape hotel that set out to reconnect people with nature in its rawest form.
In this episode, Molly sits down with artist and founder Louise Middleton to hear the remarkable story of how she transformed an abandoned slate quarry into a place of radical rest.

In this episode of Tastemaker Spotlight, Molly sits down with Robyn Poppy, creator, photographer, and long-time friend of Curated, who swapped her fast-paced London life for the slower rhythm of the Cornish coast.
Since moving west, Robyn has built a life defined by sea swims, sandy afternoons, and creative freedom, capturing the beauty of everyday coastal living through her lens. Together, we chat about her journey from agency life to freelancing, what inspired the leap, and how she’s found balance, community, and inspiration in a region that truly has it all.
She also shares her insider’s guide to Cornwall, from hidden coves and creative stays to the local spots that make this corner of the country feel like home.

Tucked behind the dunes on the wild Cornish coast, Three Mile Beach is a collection of colourful beach houses made for barefoot living - think outdoor baths, surfboards by the door, and the kind of sunsets that make you stay out just a little longer.
In today’s episode, Molly sits down with founders Jo and Craig to hear how a spontaneous kitesurfing trip sparked the idea for this laid-back haven, and how they went on to create a place that captures the spirit of freedom, adventure and coastal living that first drew them to Gwithian’s three miles of golden sand.
