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

[@blackvulcan100]

Yes we live here.

[@dunnowy123]

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.

The Cotswolds is so beautiful, I just love it. I was there for 3 days in early June and it was gorgeous. I do wish Bourton was as quiet as it was when you went! The area is so pretty, I took 1300 photos in 3 days!

[@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

I’m from the U.S. and have gotten to stay in the cotswolds twice for work. In Fairford to be exact. 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.
