Your home will never be good enough to be compared to a Cotswolds house, even if it's a mansion. I visited from Greece and I have to say this place is so tranquil and inspiring you feel like you're transferred to another time, I can't imagine living there but one thing I have to say is that because it's so touristy people who visit should remember that people actually live there their everyday lives and we have to be as discreet as possible

During this pandemic, travel vlogs have been a real source of joy for me. I can kind of escape the banality of lockdown and being unable to go anywhere. Dream of places around the world or even think of doing this sort of road trip in my own country. Your vlogs are the best. They just capture exactly what I personally love about travel vlogs: a sense of wonder, pointing our what's unique, giving tips. You do it so well.

[@davemeredith6964]

Try telling the locals this... All through the summer and spring it's packed with tourists leaving London cal families and their children with little space or things to do. As I live near I find it pretty but boring. I've seen these villages every day for many, many years ..you start to see the true character of the not so local home owners and greed

Each time I got to stay for a few months and loved every minute of it and can’t wait to go back and explore more! Thanks for the great video it was very informative. I think that the places tend to close early all the time since that was the case for my visits as well.

[@mickfoskett6629]

Totally spot on Mel.. I did the same but only did it for 10 years running..but I realised that once you've seen the stunning places and decided (if you could afford it) to move there I think you'd find the stunning scenery would wear off and you'd struggle for things to do so I personally think just visiting is much better and keeps that "magic" alive of the Cotswolds!..I live in north Norfolk where it's just as magical but with plenty more to do.🙂
