My son is 5 and between holidays, classroom parties for holidays and birthdays, his first years of sports, etc., he often says, “this is the best day of my life!” It always makes me so happy because I want him to have a million “best days of his life”. So, keep having the best days of your life! I feel the same in every European country I have been to also. 😊

[@sarahrodes3177]

Omg first the Bake Off and now the Holiday you are truly living my British media dreams. So happy for you!!!

[@sianthriftedandfancy]

Will always be room service coming to remake the beds, replace towels, empty bins etc they usually provide you with a sign you can pop on the door to say you won't need it or you're still snoozing (pop it on the night before). or they'll have a lock on the door you can use to make sure noone comes in :)

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

the sign was on the door, and there was no extra lock lol!

[@sianthriftedandfancy]

omg how cheeky of them to ignore the sign! Hope you have an amazing rest of your trip, sorry the weather is going to be so rubbish! Please visit Kent next time ;) it's the 'garden of England' :D

[@meagananne5820]

@@CarrieDaytonVlogsonce I accidentally kept my sign on Do Not Disturb for 48 hours and they came to do a wellness check on me lol. It could’ve been an accident such as that!

[@louiseshaw6792]

​@@CarrieDaytonVlogsmy son works in housekeeping and says that the front desk are notoriously bad at letting housekeeping know when there are late checkouts etc. (In his hotel anyway )Lovely to see how much you are enjoying your trip.

[@gemmascott4306]

I’m an English girl who recently moved to the country and honestly, feeling a bit down about it! Seeing your vlog made me appreciate how lucky I really am - so I put on my walking boots and took the dog out for an adventure. We went for coffee, antiquing, met sheep… all while very much sending you lots of good vibes! Thank you for making my day!!!

[@NonStopParis]

The thing is, when making tea there’s not REALLY a way of ‘doing it right’… for example my mum and I have very different opinions on how to make a brew. Personally I am a 9 stirs and a good glug of milk person. My mum makes what I would call a ‘builder’s tea’, aka over-brewed and the tiniest amount of milk. I won’t let her make me a cup of tea and she says mine are ‘undrinkable’ lmao

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

9 STIRS i'm dead!!! 😂

[@gathamore]

So agreed.. and this how I make my chai.. boil the water for a cup, add one tsp of loose black tea, sugar and add full fat milk! Let it simmer for 2/3 mins and thn grate ur fresh ginger, boil another minute, thn add ur freshly pounded cardamom( a pinch) cover the pot for 30secs and ur done! Easy... Depends.. delicious.. hell yes! My husband uses tea bags but I cld never.. it just doesn't hit right.. 😅

[@kylierussell0207]

That cottage is seriously a DREAM!! 🥹

[@stacey2567]

I always love seeing the UK from someone who doesn't live here perspective

[@christinestewart474]

What an incredible place, Carrie! Dreamy!. You guys are looking so happy. Knowing what you've been through lately; it's nice to see you treating yourselves and sparkling.

[@NonStopParis]

Do you not have housekeeping in the USA? I’m confused lol

[@heatburg]

I think what was left unsaid was that since they had late check out, they were not expecting housekeeping to come until after they were gone. But I was a little confused, too--it doesn't seem like that big a deal. It's happened to me upwards of a billion times in hotels.

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

yes, but they don't come into our hotel room before we check out! lol

[@kimberleyharfield9205]

I literally live round the corner from this place so seeing you gush over my everyday is so funny! Glad you both had such a great time. 😆

[@MsMaoMaoz]

Housekeeping was just not given the heads up that you had a late checkout. I bet the poor person felt bad they walked in on you guys.

[@MsMaoMaoz]

Also I was painting a miniature while watching this so I watched it about 3 times so I could see everything I missed while I had my nose to my miniature. lmao not even sorry.

[@velvetgh0st]

your english happiness is so cute 😭

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

thank you so much🥺🥰 wish we could have had time to pop down to brighton and see you!!! next time for sure!

[@annabrown3337]

I live in England and that cottage is crushing it! Btw the blue&white cups are genuine cornishware (like £25)

[@ProfessorBells]

Nearly screamed at the Chilean wine!! Hope you enjoyed it. Glad to see y’all loving your “Escape to the Countryside” fantasy 💖

[@kelleyeckmayer497]

Carrie, you are GLOWING and clearly living your best life in England. ❤

[@cdn0199]

All this needed was Drew knocking on the cottage door going "I need to take a leak!" and this would have been a remake of The Holiday!

[@BeingBriony]

With washer-dryers you can only dry half a load at a time. If you wash a full load you have to take half out and dry it in 2 separate loads x

[@watada]

This is why dryers are useless in the UK, an everyone just line dries their clothes, lol.

[@BeingBriony]

@@watada We have normal ones too its just the combis that are like this. The combi is for space saving as we have small houses / kitchens. I personally hang my clothes inside and use a de-humidifier, its cheaper to run. I only use my combi dryer for things that are a pain to hang inside like sheets and towel when its wet outside and/or winter

[@lestranged]

3:40 OMG is that a fucking THATCHED ROOF? I am dead. That is a storybook cottage of fairy tales. that can't be real.

[@shawnzie10]

Thank you so much for taking the time to vlog on your holiday! Hope you are getting some time to relax and soak it all in 🌄

[@bluaurora8635]

This day looked magical 😊 you’re glowing Carrie and you guys are so sweet!

[@rosieroxygirl]

the tea making was perfect!! hope you dunked the biscuits x

[@veneficusveave8522]

It’s genuinely adorable how excited you get about England 🥹 you should go to Yorkshire next time. Lots of countryside, history, pubs, cute cobbles and the accent! You will die ❤

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

The best thing about holidaying 5000 miles away from where one lives and works is that the boss can`t call you and ask you to come into the Office on the grounds that a fellow worker has "phoned in `sick.`" At least, this was the case before working from home became fashionable here in England.

[@carynmorris319]

Gah! 😍 Love when a Carrie vlog comes in right in time for my lunch break. 🤍

[@deanne7777777]

As an Australian, Im just glad you used the kettle :)

[@arielclark4944]

Dang. Once again Drew got me 😂 "Welcome to my house" haha. Rewatched that part 3 times hahaha.

[@davidwilliams8178]

Spot on for the teamaking - great job. You could make me tea anytime ! :)

[@SaraBrunettini]

You should visit some National Trust places next time! There are lots of pretty houses and nice walks in nature. 😁

[@andrear9702]

Yes!

[@DeeL2507]

The tea making was a great attempt! 🎉

[@EmilyKaplan]

You should look into the Yufuin Floral Village for next time you visit Japan (since I know you two also love Japan!), it is based off of the Cotswolds in England.. best of both worlds!

[@js.3157]

Wow, that’s pretty much my dream home, but only a little smaller than I would like. I’m so happy for you. Makes me want to go to a flea market now.

[@katieconnell2454]

I like your long walk to the pub! Lol 😄

[@Sazra]

I never heard someone pronounce ‘Morrisons’ as ‘Waitrose’ before. 😂 Hope you loved it here. 💗 Come back soon.

[@JulieNick28]

That cottage is adorable!

[@littlemissladybird13]

Tea looks good!!! 10/10

[@jessie2204]

Never seen an American make a cuppa so well! 🥳🧡

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

I AM TRULY HONORED

[@Kingshieldwall]

Mountains out of molehills 🤔. Big deal, housekeeping came into your room by mistake. Happened to me in your country before, so what, move on, shit happens 😂

[@thewealduk9802]

Congratulations, I bestow upon you honourary English status, you get it, and it warms my heart.

[@mallory_flynn]

It looks so beautiful and relaxing there! I didn't know this needed to be on my bucket list until now!

[@claudia-pl1zv]

You do watch Midsommer Murder’s right?? You two would be the american visitors who”get it” from the demented Vicar living a secret life 😂

[@lestranged]

Once I was staying at a hotel and they somehow accidentally double sold my room and gave another guest the key to my room and they just walked in on me! Luckily I was fully dressed but that was freaky. Now I put that safety latch on all the time when I am in the room.

[@alexasunshine83]

Drew's sweater game is on POINT

[@elishamorgan6438]

Looking forward to the we are moving vlog in the next year after this trip 💜 you haven't sounded this happy in a long time!! You deserve this 💜

[@heathermachala7623]

I love this for you guys!!

[@elleneastwood7435]

That cottage is surreal. The Holiday meets The Secret Garden.

[@stormet54]

Enchanting!

[@theresabraun3336]

not the Trisha Paytas tavern 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@virginiamcinnis6886]

I loooooove this! Thank you for sharing that Airbnb ❤

[@taniaocampo3719]

I came here to hype for the chilean wine :D (I'm Chilean xD)

[@Kingshieldwall]

Good tea making by the way, good colour 😉, well done to you both 👏

[@jenniferrynes5093]

It would be awesome if you could do like a budget video for your trip. :)

[@alissalanden8176]

What an amazing cottage and pub! Love to see you SO HAPPY 😊

[@fvances]

I’m screaming at this cottage!! It’s so cute!!!🍁🐿️🪵🍂

[@MrOllie716]

I genuinely had no idea you need to make reservations at a pub.

[@thewealduk9802]

You do for food, not for a drink.

[@Luisa-b6e]

This was literally made for you two omg ❤

[@BeingBriony]

Personally I wouldn't have brewed it as along I like it weaker, but that's personal preference x

[@tiegz9770]

0:57 what are you wearing on your lips? Its so pretty

[@HannahTyson]

I recommended Escape To The Country to my parents because of you and they love it 🤣

[@beaucrawley1191]

I don’t know anything about America but do you not have tea? Don’t you use a kettle? Im confused 😂❤

[@arianah7730]

We do have tea lol I think most Americans are just coffee drinkers… tea seems to be more of an old persons drink unless it’s boba milk tea as that has become popular here. And as for the kettle we have them but the stereotype Americans have received is that we just microwave our water, which if I’m feeling lazy I just might😂

[@Laalaalaa10]

Dinner time at the pub was giving asmr 🙌

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

it was SO QUIET in there hahaha we were literally whispering to eachother 😂

[@deanne7777777]

The combo dryer and washer really sucks. I would just wash and use the radiators to dry. learnt the hard way. You are probs back in USA by now, but a good tip for next time

[@loveconnection009]

Have you seen "Men"? All I was thinking about with the cabin and the mention of the pub being very close lol. But love love love the place!

[@alexmcginness8859]

The room thing has happened to me in Vegas! Except it was at 4am and I SLEPT THROUGH IT. Ugh, my fiancé woke up and dealt with it, but it definitely left us raddled. Feel for you!

[@JaimeTravels]

Were there no dead bolts on the door where you were staying? I always engage that as soon as I am in my room. But there are also a number of additional locks on Amazon you can use as a back up as well. So scary to have someone just walk in!

[@vaiishxo]

the cottage is soo DREAMY!! ✨

[@madisonross2721]

That cottage is so dreamy!!! I want to go stay… the Cotswalds are so high on my travel bucket list. I CACKLED when you brought up Trish doing the tavern skits 💀💀💀

[@helenaemilie1849]

Oh my gosh you were so close to my home area. ❤ the Cotwolds is such a quaint area, its always such a homesome feeling driving through the countryside there and eating good hearty meals in the old pubs ❤ .Did you guys get to visit Blenheim Palace.? Much love from Germany.

[@jenniferpoffenroth9926]

Sent my sister the Airbnb link and your video!! Love the cottage ❤! Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@mgin384]

My friend and I drove up to the Peak District from London. And I completely understand your fear of the roads! They’re so small, and everyone just buzzed around so quickly. But it looks so beautiful where you stayed. Definitely worth it to get away from the city for a while.

[@deanne7777777]

you have to love the chose of small or large wine. Loved you picked the big 🙂

[@katelewis2199]

I live in the New Forest in Hampshire UK and you would love it :)

[@alynicrespilho7934]

This is the dreamiest place I’ve ever seen. So happy that you guys had this experience 🩵

[@deanne7777777]

I immediately thought of the holiday!

[@moshiergirl]

That cottage is so you guys! I love it! You belong there!

[@jkubek1116]

That cottage is such a dream and perfect ❤️🩷

[@kirstymeechan3395]

Your cup of tea looks perfect!🩷🫖

[@christinesmith6910]

You made the perfect cuppa tea :D 🥰 xxx

[@TheXdarkfairy]

That was a great cup of tea ❤

[@isobelalexandra]

Fellow England citizen 🤣 I hate decaf tea, the normal one is better xx loving these vlogs xx

[@jesstodd6218]

I love that your love of all things British matches my love of all things British. 🤍🇬🇧🤍
