500 YEAR OLD ENGLISH COTTAGE TOUR - Explore Our Countryside Cottage

Explore our 500 year old English cottage in Wiltshire. All the cottagecore vibes! The cottage is located on the grounds of Iford Manor, home to the world famous Harold Peto gardens (which I'll show you around in another episode) and dates to between 1200 and 1400AD. It was originally the stables to the manor before being converted into this beautiful fairytale cottage.

As an Australian, I grew up with alot of English TV shows in the 90s. As a result, places like this have drawn me and I'm dying to go and see them lol. Old cottages, gardens, "postman pat" style roads next to a cobblestone wall haha, it's so british! I'm 35, been to so many places but it's definitely about damn time i go visit England.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Sounds like you need to book yourself a trip and come explore the English countryside 🥰 There is so much charm and beauty about much of the country and every county is so different.

[@jostewart554]

I'm Australian too and I was lucky enough to visit the UK twice as a girl. Then at 21 I went for 6 months working and holidaying. I got to look after older people in their homes, aged care. Live in aged care so the people that could afford that had gorgeous homes. I would say save up enough money to go for a few weeks. Stay in London a few days but then hire a car and drive but make sure you go to the very south, then make your way up and visit Wales and Scotland. Each place is very different. You can get great deals on cars and come back and drop them off near the airport on your way home. There are so many different places to see that are all different. But go. You'll love it.

[@fredingram3731]

Better hurry. As an American I just got back a month ago.... it looks less and less like England nowadays

[@xx_sugarcube_xx8170]

You’re welcome! here I hope you enjoy visiting these small villages are quite beautiful :)

[@xx_sugarcube_xx8170]

@@fredingram3731 depends on where you go but yes it is changing

[@maried3717]

Oh, I loved every inch of it! Especially the dog lamp in the niche! Americans, in general, do not appreciate preserving what is already there and quick to gut every quirk and historical artifact with cheap new replacements. In with the new, out with the old, even if the function is the same. It's so wonderful that you appreciate what is there. 🇺🇸

[@lorikolecki3321]

I completely agree! England is a dream I hope to awaken in one day💕

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

You are a true master of the aesthetics. Always finding the sheer beauty of the places you visit and showing them in such a delightful way that it‘s quite hard to resist not going there at once. 🥇

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

That's very kind, thank you ❤ I'm forever taking the time to stop, sit and absorb the locations I visit. They all have their stories and beauty to share :) If I can encourage people to take the time to visit for themselves then that's the icing on the proverbial cake.

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

@@theslowtravelsfamily You manage to do that in such a perfect way that I am wondering why you don‘t offer your services to smaller country houses and other less known historic locations, which are looking to increase their visitor numbers. Just believe in yourself ! You have a wonderful talent and it deserves a much more extensive exposure !! 🏆

[@donaldrichardson9132]

As a 66 year old African American male grassroots Republican who resides in Macon Bibb County Georgia 31201 who have always enjoyed the finer things in life, I want to take the time to Thankyou for sharing this video featuring this tour of an English country house and garden. Their are traces of the English village architectural landscape here in Macon Bibb County Georgia 31201 during the Early Republic years here in Macon Bibb County Georgia of the decade of the 1820s and 1830s of which Macon was founded in 1823. I look forward in viewing any future videos of Your tours.

Valuable cultural heritage.

Gorgeous❣️ Bravo to the renovators in keeping the charm and historical integrity of the cottage.❤ Very Well done. 👍🏼

[@IRSA1]

What a wrench it must have been to leave such an enchanted place …

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

You can say that again!! ❤ I never want to leave..

[@barbarawillis5187]

The house and the views are breathtaking. Perfect area to film in the rain. I love the cute kitty with the huge fluffy tail. Thank you for this interesting and relaxing tour.

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

They truly are something special ❤ I have to return here a couple of times every year, it's just blissful. Oh yes the cats too! There are three at Iford, the first one you saw was Aslan then the one later in the video was Busy - they're both Maine Coon's. Then there's a third kitty called Lottie but she's a little more elusive. Hopefully I'll catch her when I return and do a full garden tour :)

[@mfnannygram]

Such a lovely video... totally get that English country garden and Tuscan countryside juxtaposition. Stunning garden and architecture... I'd love to spend time there. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Thank you :) I'm glad you see it too - it feels a lot more like that during the warm summer days when things are fully in bloom as the variety of trees they have planted there have a very mediterranean vibe. It's a gorgeous garden all year round though and can't recommend it highly enough, well worth a visit. Full garden tour video will be coming soon once it's had chance to bloom.

[@kilcar]

Some may not know it, but the crows of Great Britain and Ireland actually have a much different call than those in my homes in western US and Canada . Just hearing the crows in the video brought back memories !

[@MONEYCOUKENGLAND]

Exactly they don't build them like they used to it's all horrible blocky concrete now

[@jostewart554]

What an absolutely delightful place. The cottage is such a romantic place and so well decorated. Then you went with your book to a courtyard that had many arches. Wow. What a magical and inspirational place. To have access to the gardens when nobody else was around too, marvellous. I wouldn't want to leave. The Bridge Tea rooms were wuaint and old worldy. I love the history in the small British towns. You're so lucky to live there. 💓

[@jostewart554]

This is the first video of yours I've watched but I've read some comments that say you do this weekly so you've got another subscriber! I'm going to watch with glee. I adore the UK. Wish I could live there. I'm Australian. ❤

What a lovely cottage and gardens. i love Wiltshire and i was lucky enough to live and work in the county for almost a year

[@theslowtravelsfamily]

Truly somewhere special. Wiltshire is SO underrated isn't it? It has some of my favourite places in the country! From the gardens to the country houses, pubs, villages..it's wonderful. You were lucky to get to call it home for a while ❤
