Now I Want To Move Back To The Cotswolds! Staying at Barnsley House | Tour of the new RH England

Join me in this very special vlog for a trip to the glorious Cotswolds. My friend, Nathan Rollinson, and I visited for three nights this week, staying at the heavenly Barnsley House - former home of the esteemed garden designer, Rosemary Verey.
In this vlog I give you a tour of our beautiful suite, as well as a walk through a peaceful Cotswold village, and a look inside Aynhoe Park - home to the first ever Restoration Hardware showroom in the UK.

I just love your videos Nicolas!!! They bring peace in a chaotic world. You are a treasure! Thanks so much.

[@NicolasFairford]

I am SO happy to hear that! Thank you so much x

[@villaselva]

he works very hard at it its not his normal voice😅

[@dlcalbaugh]

@@villaselva I think he has made it his normal voice now.

[@cindyhalpern3187]

How lovely was this tour, Nicholas. I was pleased to meet Peggy, but missed Sophie. You seem so relaxed here. The area does agree with you. But truthfully, you bring elegance, grace, and style wherever you are!

[@NicolasFairford]

I always feel a sense of peace in the Cotswolds! Thank you for your very kind words x

[@anneoshields3960]

The Cotswolds are so beautiful and peaceful. This was a wonderful tour Nicolas. I look forward to the next tour. It's traveling without leaving your house. Love it ❤

[@AnxMa]

I really needed the calming and stylish vibes of your videos! After the day I had I just wanna say: to anyone who's ever been a victim of bullying / hate / violence because of their appearance, gender, orientation, race : DO NOT ever let a hateful notion 'there's something wrong with me' sink in. Trust me, it's a recipe for self hatred and compulsive anxieties later on. When we suffer and we need a break, it's only natural to think: maybe if I wasn't 'different', if I was 'normal' I would be accepted. No, haters will always find something else to prey upon. I've always had androgynous look, which was a fuel for bullies when I was growing up. I embraced it, used it to my advantage in my acting / modeling career, I was almost the face of Leon in these new Resident Evil games :)

[@trilliontrillion8087]

Most people bully others because of either self hatred or they themselves are being bullied in some way. Forget them just be you, your perfect as you are .

[@stardresser1]

Stay strong friend, and enjoy the peace and beauty that these lovely videos. Ignore the haters as much as possible!!!

[@NicolasFairford]

I'm so glad to know that my videos have helped a little! Sending best wishes x x

[@pixibelle3282]

No such thing as normal.

[@angela64355]

Always be true to your authentic self.💕

[@dawns4641]

I’m an American who just visited the Cotswolds and they were gorgeous!! The English people were kind, we loved the farm stands and how you can bring your dog to most places. The only thing we could not get use to was the crazy driving, on skinny, fast and windy roads. We want to move to England and leave the US.

[@Robert-bg7bl]

Agreed! 🇺🇸

[@NicolasFairford]

I'm glad you were charmed by the Cotswolds! x x

[@vanessahawarden9028]

Thank you dear Nicolas for taking us with you to these most exquisite of places. I felt swept away into another world ❤

[@MarinaJA7]

This place is truly magical! Love all your Cotswolds videos!!! Love the history it holds - ty for sharing with us, Nicolas ❣️

[@MarinaJA7]

The interiors at the RH showrooms are overwhelmingly stunning! What a trip! 🥰

[@ecoknitty]

Stunning. Wow, the tour is amazing!

[@NicolasFairford]

I just adore the cotswolds, it is a delight to share! Thank you!

[@kualumpurzagreb3408]

Divine ! Absolutely fabulous.. Wonderful video - Nicholas, you outdo yourself every time ! Mesmerising Gardens and Architecture ! ❤

[@NicolasFairford]

That is such a kind thing to say! Thank you so much X

[@alexvlachoulis1409]

Yes.....superb video ... Thank you @@NicolasFairford

[@LarchmontLady]

The Cotswolds are the Tuscany of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The light is heavenly there. The indoor furnishings were nice but a little cold and not as impressive as the outdoor scenery. WOW

[@manofreddi4166]

Totally agree about the indoor furnishings. 18th century style, either English (Chippendale) or French (LOUIS XV) and oriental rugs would be especially nice and befitting such a beautiful mansion. But, to each his own, I also find it rather cold, even somewhat spartan. It still is undeniably nice and tastefully done.

[@matteolongobardi7103]

I think I just fell in love with the Cotswolds, definitely a place I’d love to visit! Very well made video, Nicolas! x

[@lyndalafoucade790]

👍❤️

[@NicolasFairford]

Please do try to visit! x

[@JeanieoftheLamp]

I have a couple of Rosemary’s books and they are so interesting. How lovely to be able to stay in the home she adored. The beautiful sound of the rain in this video is the perfect cosy Autumnal touch.

[@TiffanyRosewaters]

This is 43:00 mins of pure HEAVEN 🌹🙌🏾😍 I absolutely loveeee this video. Give me moreeeee

[@NicolasFairford]

I am so happy you think so! Thank you!

[@jmhwink3202]

Nicholas, your enthusiasm and love of all things beautiful , man made or of nature, makes you the perfect tour guide and representative for anything /anywhere that you wish to show us. Your camera work is awesome as well❤

[@NicolasFairford]

That is really kind - I'm so glad you think so!

[@ceritat]

Oh, to be in England... Thank you for sharing this gorgeous video.

[@NicolasFairford]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[@cindybogart6062]

This place is lovely! Peggy is adorable❣️

[@jannieo]

OMG Nicholas, this brought me such joy and almost to tears with it's beauty. I have studied the Cotswold's and it's beauty and it's history for 30 years. I am an American and have hundreds of ancestors from England. I wish I had bought here years ago. I truly do. We are older now and I cherish your videos and just a few other influencers who live in the Cotswolds. I love this season I call " Rust Season" Thank you so very much Nicholas . I loved this. Jannieo

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I share your feelings-maiden surname Browning. I too am older wish I had the opportunity to visit Britain at this point in my life it isn’t something that may happen but I don’t give up on my dreams.

[@jannieo]

@@janicebrowningaquino792 Hi Janice, I was a flight attendant for 15 years, and had 3 beautiful trips to England. My last trip was in 2011 when I was 57 and still in great shape. My husband and I had a private tour of the Cotswold's and it was like heaven. I feel so lucky to have been able to do that. It was a spectacular 70 degree Spring day. When my second husband died I was 52 and I should have bought in the Cotswolds then. It is too late at turning 70 and my present husband is 73. We really would like to go back, but as you said, it's hard now! Traveling isn't as easy as it once was. But, we can dream. I follow a few other girls you may like on You Tube. They live there as well. Josie, Fashion Mumbler. You will love her vlogs too!!

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

You always share such amazing field trips with us. Love the suite.

[@NicolasFairford]

It's a joy for me!

[@gladyslopez2824]

"Dear Nicholas , Recently, I've had the pleasure of discovering your wonderful videos. The elegance, cosiness, and calmness you convey, along with a measured English that I can perfectly understand, make each video a sensory delight. As an eternal admirer of the United Kingdom, I find in your content a special connection with that place I hold so dear. I greatly appreciate your work and wanted to express my gratitude for providing me with such special moments. With warmth, Gladys from Tenerife.

[@NicolasFairford]

Wonderful!

[@user-xv9cn1sv1w]

I want to move to the Cotswolds into a cozy cottage and attend the church. Thank you so much for a lovely Sunday with you.

[@NicolasFairford]

Sounds idyllic!

[@gogogo815]

Dear Nicola, I’ve been following your beautiful videos from Japan, but now I’m living in Europe close to England. I went to visit Cotswold this summer and it was stunning and beautiful. It looks like a fairly tale place. While I was walking through the incredible Lavender’s garden, an old lady gifted me with a little bag full of the lavender flowers. I sleep with it every single night dreaming that one day I will live in Cotswold. Thank you for your effort and for the unconditional energy you put making all your amazing videos. You already have success because everybody love you ❤

[@ruchiramunjal6061]

Beautiful Park !! Simply Amazing Vlog Nicolas .

[@NicolasFairford]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@gerdabreig9689]

Absolutely breathtaking, thank you so much for sharing ❤ I agree, so much beauty to take in wherever you look. I would love to have the lady with the pearl necklace for my garden 😅 I can definitely see that your heart is in the Cotsworlds, would be lovely for you to find a small cottage with a small garden, not too overwhelming to take care of 🥰

[@NicolasFairford]

A small cottage would be perfect! Thank you!

[@robertdunbar2434]

Nicolas, thank you for this beautiful and peaceful vlog of the Cotswolds, Barnsley House, and the RH Showrooms. You inspired me to look up the vintage video of Rosemary Verey. It was probably the same video taken in the winter with a snowfall showing the "bones"and structure of her designs. At a time with so much turmoil in the world, you brought out what is beautiful, good, and right. Robert.

[@NicolasFairford]

Thank you for always being here Robert! x

[@jennifercline7843]

Yes the world is in turmoil and because of a few who wish to destroy it. But we the people can save it by bonding together and removing the evil.

[@anasofialulo7808]

La NATURALEZA!!!....QUE BELLEZA de exterior!!!... increíble esos muebles fuera..mirando esos diferentes verdes....esas escaleras con molduras y detalles arquitectónicos neoclásicos,egipcios y hasta persas... bellísimo subir esas escaleras...los colores,el JARDÍN!! PRECIOSO!!!

[@juliemetaxa1480]

Love your posotive attitude....... ? People moan that its always raining in uk but we wouldent have all this beautiful green scenery if we dident. Miss England since i left in 1970. To old to go back

[@tadeuszoltarzewski6965]

Oh beautiful video Nicholas thank you for sharing your life. We celebrated my Husbands birthday at Barnsley House with our family, it was in February so all the fires were lit and majical atmosphere. We now live in Devon so it was wonderful to see the hotel again. Love from Rosie O from England 🇬🇧💖

[@mingnim209]

Thank you for the beautiful tour! Hearing the excitement and awe in your voice on this tour, truly sounds like the Cotswolds is your happy place.

Thank you so much! I truly is x

[@NicolasFairford]

That is high praise indeed! It is very beautiful!

[@mareesimonis7656]

Barnsley House & RH are worthy of a big WOW!! The modern decor works beautifully with the classic ornate features. Also, the lighting is key with lots of lamp rather than harsh unforgiving downlights. Thanks so much for taking us with you. Hi to Nathan who looks super stylish. Nice to have a friend who makes you laugh. Xx

[@kdescossa]

I love this ! Just like an episode of Escape to the Country, you’d be an excellent presenter for them ❤

[@NicolasFairford]

I would love that! Thank you!

[@haleywiley7750]

Watching these videos brings me such peace while living in NYC.

My pleasure! Thank you!

Nicholas, Please tour Houghton (my surname) Hall in Norfolk. They are working on the formal gardens currently but will be open in 2024 for visits. That would be a great treat for your audience. It is the most beautiful Palladium house in Britain.

[@ritacarlson9522]

A truly awesome tour and such an amazing home and architecture...Nicolas , I can hear your soul talking when you are back in your beautiful Cotswolds 😊

Thanks for your kind words! x

[@HolidayBackgrounds]

This video is stunning. I watched it twice. We have Restoration Hardware here in the States, but I must say, it does not look anything like the one in your video! This store is breathtaking. I imagine they will do most of their ad filming from there. What a dream. I could almost take a trip just to see it and the cozy roads with rock walls--simply heavenly! What a fun place to film.

[@donnajewell6909]

I visited Barnsley House years ago when Rosemary Verey was alive and from the garden saw her sitting at that same desk! Such beautiful gardens….the little statue of the lady with the hat was my favorite.

[@mehitabel6564]

How lovely. I last visited Barnsley House when Rosemary Verey was still alive, so well over 20 years ago. I loved the garden, and she had a wonderful potager garden. Thank you also for showing RH at Aynhoe Park, I'm very glad to hear that they now have an outlet in the UK, I've browsed and coveted their stock for years. The autumnal light in your video is just lovely.

Thanks for taking us along. I’ve been to the Cotswolds several times and it’s one of my favourite places in the world. I love the stone and the walled gardens. I had to smile about your comment about the rain in England. But then…….lush gardens and green fields. 😊. Thanks for showing the countryside in your video. Much appreciated.

You sweet boy. I think you love Edinburgh, but I think you love everywhere beautiful. I think it's okay to think about moving again. I hope you can take us through the winter in Edinburgh and show us some more beautiful places there. Maybe then in the spring you can begin looking for something new and exciting and beautiful.

[@ilovemondays4663]

[@karinwolfebridge9062]

What a stunning location, thank you for taking us along. The garden is superb and the vistas from the terrace - just like a painting. How beautiful England truly is. Just following you in your process of whether to move or not to move, it seems to me that you are not THAT happy where you are. Perhaps a move to the Cotswolds would be perfect for you. I certainly wish you the best of luck in finding your "forever home". I don't think I've ever seen such an elegant location and you look completely at home in it :) Sending many thanks & appreciation.
