“To accelerate change, we need more flexible working arrangements, stronger policies that support women at all life stages, and workplace cultures that actively champion inclusion rather than simply accommodate it.”

Designed by Manchester-based studio YOUTH, the soon-to-open Hyll Hotel in the North Cotswolds is an invitation to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with the present moment.

Blending raw, natural materials with a philosophy of restraint and presence, the interiors celebrate tactility, warmth, and simplicity—from sculptural stone bathroom thresholds to hand-textured plaster walls and aged timber furnishings.

As Oliver Collinge, Co-Founder of YOUTH, explains:

“Hyll is not about escapism – it’s about reconnection. Every detail was designed to encourage a sense of stillness, guiding rather than demanding.”
