[@terrylichtenberg7618]

Your videos are the most beautiful and relaxing videos, I truly love them Your right that bedroom was spectacular, beautiful ❤️

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Thank you for such a lovely comment 🥰🙏 I’m pleased you enjoy them! Gosh the bedroom was a work of art in itself wasn’t it?! 😍

Who takes care of such a big house and what a beautiful view is there around that house, it is from w r 1819, so a beautiful 🏡❤️ garden

Oh Stacy, this was so magical and peaceful❣️ Absolutely beautiful. Loved seeing your chickens and ducks, those ducks did grow fast. I’ve seen a lot of gardens on your show, but this one was amazing. Thank you so much for making these blogs, I enjoy them so much❣️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Thank you Brenda 🥰🙏 Gravetye is a truly special location. I had high expectations but it blew them all out of the water. Such a phenomenal place in every regard. The chickens and ducks are so sweet, they’ve made us so happy 🥰 Heidi loves picking all the fresh eggs as well, a daily treat. I’ll get editing the next video, I’ve got so much to share! See you again soon ☺️ Have a wonderful week ahead.

Magical!

[@debbiepochy6751]

This was so beautiful! The gardens were breathtaking! The large rhododendron were spectacular. The room, manor and gardens were just magical!! 💗

beautiful 💮

So gorgeous! Loved the garden walk! Now, has anyone responded to your camellia question? I don't want to repeat information and be boring! You already know that they like ericaceous soil, a problem in the South of England thanks to all the chalk, but it sounds as if you have done a lot of soil amendment to get around that. They like dappled shade and a really good tip I've learned is that you must water them regularly and well during the hot months because that is when they set their new growth and bloom for the following year. Of course this year, for you, is pretty cool and moist anyway, but even so the camellias will need an extra boost of food and water in August. Here in British Columbia we are experiencing days in the upper 20s and low 30s, and no rain to speak of, so my camellia and other ever greens like rhodos and azaleas are getting some extra water and love. Cheerio!

[@donnajenkins4721]

Another stunning place. I so look forward to these escapes.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

It’s such a gem! Can’t recommend a visit here highly enough 😍

[@PamMcclure-o2q]

My sister and I absolutely Love your videos. We tell everyone we see about them. We live in the US in Florida and I live in Tn and we are planning a trip just because of your beautiful videos. Cheers to you and your wonderful family!

[@Peachy08]

The beauty of this place actually made me tear up!This has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen!! And your room!❤ I would never want to leave!! I grow camilla's...mine are planted in shady areas. They get mirning sun and a little evening sun. I use a camilla fertilizer and I water during dry spells. I live in a very hot humid climate and they do very well.

I think you have found " paradise " I could just imagine being a titled Lady a century or two ago, waking up in that glorious bedroom stepping into my warm perfumed bath assisted by my ladies maid , deciding which french silk dress to wear, slowly strolling through the gardens towards the breakfast room where all the delights of a sumptuous breakfast awaited me, ohh I could continue my fantasy but I'm not to blame, it's this amazing place it has put a spell on me, you are so blessed to have experienced such a place.

[@andreabaldwin6024]

You out did yourself with this one. The most beautiful place yet Thank you so very much for sharing

[@kansaidan2302]

Another tour de force video of a spectacular English Manor. Inspires us to make a visit someday . . . . .

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

It’s a destination in itself. Hope you manage to visit! Can’t recommend it highly enough ❤️

[@diannelarose4392]

You always pick such stunning places. Your videos always make me so happy. Love seeing the family 😃🥰

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Aww thank you! Gravetye has been on my list for so long and surpassed all expectations, just phenomenal!! Thanks for joining me and watching this episode 🥰

[@elizabethescher5445]

Love, love, that beautiful manor and gardens. It's utterly magical!

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Me too! It’s one of the most spectacular places I’ve ever stayed! I was in awe from beginning to end 😍

[@annettedelahunty3899]

Oh soooo beautiful!!!Watching this is breathtaking ♥️♥️

[@deesa3500]

Definitely, most definitely a true vacation destination! Thank you!

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

It truly is! You forget that the outside world is there!

[@janethale391]

Always love your videos Stacy they’re so well done and like your name, “slow” so I can admire the architecture and gardens. I also like the background music you choose to accompany your work, hauntingly beautiful. My mom’s side of the family was from Cornwall and I can see my grandmother and her daughters’ flower choices and my grandfather’s veg patch reflected in the gardens of England. ❤ from 🇨🇦 ( my drink of choice when I occasionally have one is a gin and tonic, cheers! )

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Thank you so very much Jane 🥰🙏 such a kind comment to read, it’s put a smile on my face. I love that you have family from Cornwall, that’s a wonderful corner of the country. Have you visited? I’ve got an episode to edit from a farmhouse cottage I just stayed in near Port Isaac so Cornwall will be coming up on the channel shortly ☺️ A G&T is one of my favourite drinks of choice too! Hope you’ve had a delightful weekend.

[@janethale391]

@@theslowtravelsfamily I have not been to Cornwall but it’s on my bucket list! 😉

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Oooh you will love it!! It’s a special place, very rich in history. I hope you get to visit soon 🙌

[@janethale391]

@@theslowtravelsfamily Thanks so much for your replies. 💛 My grandmother always had a portrait of the queen and a yearly calendar with Cornwall pictures in it on the walls of her kitchen. Cornwall does look beautiful, as does all of England, especially through your videos. I look forward to your pictures of Port Isaac. Take care, hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer.

[@suebecker2893]

I enjoy every single episode! Peace and serenity 😊

[@elizabethelliott5478]

Such a beautiful setting it's like a dream. I especially appreciate your photography. You capture and enhance each scene drawing us into the experience. Now I long to spend time there.

[@barleyarrish]

Superb Video Stacy, you have such a good eye and style! My mind boggles at the work, to achieve this state of grace at Gravetree... 'Perfection denied' maybe a truism in this Earthly Realm, but some have almost achieved it. I do not have much of a problem here in West Penwith with Camelia's, they do self seed here. Keep it simple with C.Japonica var's of good vigour, avoiding whites which may well be frosted with you and spoil the blooms. And if yours go yellow before dying you may need to use 'sequestered Iron' fertiliser which is formulated especially for Camelia's that find soil deficiency. Good luck.

[@richardpurvis8999]

This was beautiful. You must be a Windsor! Well done Stacy.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Such a gem of a location isn’t it?! Everything about it is perfect 👌😍

[@amyjones8114]

Thank you for the peaceful and beautiful escape. I needed it❤

[@cindyschenk6824]

I need this escape!

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Oh. My. Goodness. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Hope you manage to visit yourself one day 🥰🙏

[@kaymerry369]

Beautiful ! Perfect place to have stayed. Your room was unique, gardens & kitchen garden. Really everything the eyes could see on this adventure with history. .

[@nancyelliott3653]

No words can describe the beauty of this place....thank you for bringing us here! By the way, did you eat that entire breakfast???!!!!

[@maryburton9308]

Absolutely beautiful room. The grounds and the hotel are magical.

[@marialinares7809]

Beautiful place beautiful wall painting ❤ thanks

[@pamelawalmsley5971]

What a stunning place. You did such a wonderful job sharing it.

[@Naturesong56]

I’m speechless! This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Thank you Stacy. ❤ I have to add how beautiful your room was with the exception of the television on the wall. I feel it should be stored out of sight in a wardrobe or cabinet of some sort so it doesn’t distract from the gorgeous room. 🙏🏻

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

There's nicer places than this in ENGLAND..

[@rsause]

wow gorgeous... and the gardens !! A joy to visit these places with you.💕

[@davidcreager1945]

What a stunning location !! Thanks so much for sharing it ! 🇺🇲 / 🇬🇧

It’s exceptional! 😍 I’m going to struggle to find a nicer hotel than this one. If you ever get the chance, definitely pay a visit!

WOW, so beautiful🥰!! This is on my bucket list, now! Thank you for your beautiful work. I just found you a couple of days ago, and I subscribed, and have a lot of catch up videos 😀

That piano bit had me in a trance. Who was that?

[@beatrizparejo6398]

Gracias por el vídeo. Nontengo mucha idea de fotografía pero lo compré para hacer impresiones de mis cuadros en casa. Pero no encuentro el espacio de color Adobe rgb, no se puede seleccionar? Tengo que usar el espacio display P3? Pero la impresora canon que tengo gestiona el color en rgb...Muchas gracias

[@MargaretManlove]

The artwork on your room's walls bears a striking resemblance to the work of French artist Claire Basler. Could it have been hers?

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Yes, that’s her! I had meant to add that in on voiceover and forgot to do so. Her work is marvellous. She did all the paintings on the wall in the restaurant too 😍

[@jenaya_laila2442]

It's a dream! I've just checked prices and a night costs around 600 pounds...😱 Not sure who can actually afford a stay?
