EASTENDERS star Emma Barton has given fans a sneak peek into her luxury festive getaway – with a stunning indoor swimming pool and gold bathtub.
Emma, 47, who plays Honey Mitchell in the soap, took to Instagram to reveal snaps of her quaint cottage hideaway, where she spent the Christmas holidays with her rarely seen boyfriend Jason Perry.
She revealed it is worlds away from Albert Square, set in the Somerset countryside.
It came with all the luxury trimmings too. Emma and her producer beau Jason stayed in a cosy cottage with two double bedrooms, a kitchen, and two rooms featuring king-sized beds.
But best of all, it boasted the most impressive bathroom—with a golden bathtub.
She took to Instagram to say: “So I wanted to surprise Jase for his birthday and I’m always looking for a SPECIAL PLACE somewhere in the country, where you can sit by a fire, relax, chill out.. in peace..
“Cor, blimey, I found this incredible place. In fact, it blew our minds… stunning, in every possible way. It’s @everardsfarm in Somerset.”
She also praised her hosts, Robbie and Tracey, whose hospitality left a lasting impression and promised to be back.
She said: “You are amazing hosts, and I can’t wait to return in the spring, summer, and autumn.”
The estate has several self-contained accommodation options and is set on a farm with animals.
She also gave a shout-out to her favourite four-legged friend: “Oh, and Harold the Pygmy Goat… you now are my new best friend… “
The Pigsty is a warm and welcoming space to wind down and relax. It offers the luxury of a boutique hotel room with the added benefit of your own private outdoor space, complete with a wood-fired Dutch tub, Corten log burner, and Roccbox pizza oven.

The Parlour is described as: “a truly beautiful space with an impressive bathroom”, a fully equipped kitchen, a luxurious super king-sized bed and a huge private outdoor space.
There is also The Threshing Barn, a two-storey conversion featuring an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and diner, a luxurious bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a king-sized Savoir bed.
Then there’s the Hygge & Fika with an impressive outdoor space, a private veranda, external jacuzzi bath, log burner, and dining area with views across the estate.
Emma looked beautiful in the snaps, wearing a faux fur gilet over a patterned shirt and a cream fedora hat in one snap.
In another, she wore a cream tracksuit and baseball cap with her gilet as she posed by the gold bathtub.
Emma found romance with Jason last year after a painful divorce in 2005.
She told The Metro: ‘I’m very happy. I have a lovely boyfriend in Jason and I’m in a very happy place right now. I’m looking forward to our future together.”
Honey is married to Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) in the soap and has had some great storylines over the years.
She has played her character from 2005 until 2008 and returned in 2015, with a brief pause in 2020, but has remained in the soap since.
