Explore our 500 year old English cottage in Wiltshire. All the cottagecore vibes! The cottage is located on the grounds of Iford Manor, home to the world famous Harold Peto gardens (which I'll show you around in another episode) and dates to between 1200 and 1400AD. It was originally the stables to the manor before being converted into this beautiful fairytale cottage.

As an Australian, I grew up with alot of English TV shows in the 90s. As a result, places like this have drawn me and I'm dying to go and see them lol. Old cottages, gardens, "postman pat" style roads next to a cobblestone wall haha, it's so british! I'm 35, been to so many places but it's definitely about damn time i go visit England.

Sounds like you need to book yourself a trip and come explore the English countryside 🥰 There is so much charm and beauty about much of the country and every county is so different.

I'm Australian too and I was lucky enough to visit the UK twice as a girl. Then at 21 I went for 6 months working and holidaying. I got to look after older people in their homes, aged care. Live in aged care so the people that could afford that had gorgeous homes. I would say save up enough money to go for a few weeks. Stay in London a few days but then hire a car and drive but make sure you go to the very south, then make your way up and visit Wales and Scotland. Each place is very different. You can get great deals on cars and come back and drop them off near the airport on your way home. There are so many different places to see that are all different. But go. You'll love it.

Oh, I loved every inch of it! Especially the dog lamp in the niche! Americans, in general, do not appreciate preserving what is already there and quick to gut every quirk and historical artifact with cheap new replacements. In with the new, out with the old, even if the function is the same. It's so wonderful that you appreciate what is there. 🇺🇸

They truly are something special ❤ I have to return here a couple of times every year, it's just blissful. Oh yes the cats too! There are three at Iford, the first one you saw was Aslan then the one later in the video was Busy - they're both Maine Coon's. Then there's a third kitty called Lottie but she's a little more elusive. Hopefully I'll catch her when I return and do a full garden tour :)

What an absolutely delightful place. The cottage is such a romantic place and so well decorated. Then you went with your book to a courtyard that had many arches. Wow. What a magical and inspirational place. To have access to the gardens when nobody else was around too, marvellous. I wouldn't want to leave. The Bridge Tea rooms were wuaint and old worldy.
