    It looks so perfectly quant on the outside that it was shocking to see how modern it looked inside, I wish they kept an English country vibe to it with the kitchen too

      Yes! The exterior of the cottage is straight out of a fairytale story. A proper ‘chocolate box’ cottage dating back to 1800. The current interior is quite the juxtaposition though, very modern which might not be to everybody’s cup of tea. I agree with you, I think retaining the charm and character of these historic houses is preferable however we all have different tastes 😊

      Thé interiors are nasty, disappointing.

      ​@@theslowtravelsfamilyIn that context it's just poor taste .

      I agree, this inside does such a disservice to such a beautiful home in such divine surroundings. Probably just slapped it together, so as to be able to make much money off of renting it out for holidays. Let us hope if it ever sells, whomever buys it does a SYMPATHETIC reno and puts back some much needed character to the interior.

      I agree. The kitchen is utilitarian. By that I mean, the idea must have been to make it sturdy and easy to clean for renters. I would have loved to see a more cottage design with painted wooden cupboards and wallpaper somewhere.

    Love the front door and rounded sitting room! The exterior is such a quaint cottage whereas the kitchen was surprisingly modern-looking.

    I have just found your channel and working my way through your videos, loving everything from the places you visit to the background music and your calm commentary. The only issue I have is that I’m from Australia, I have a son living in England that I visit every year but you are adding lots of places to my must visit list lol 😂❤

      Oh wow! I just had to google this as I hadn’t heard anything about it. Apparently that’s at his house Max Gate in Dorchester and not this cottage he grew up in. I still need to visit Max Gate as that’s where a lot of his original furniture is 😍 and now another lovely reason to visit, how fascinating!

    Love the exterior, but the interior was disappointingly modern and very bland. I suppose I was expecting something old and cosy, like some of the other properties you’ve stayed in. Other people will love it, I’m sure, it’s just not for me.
    I like Thomas Hardy’s poetry, and one of my favourite poems is the delightfully cynical “The Ruined Maid”.

    I have always loved Hardy's cottage but, for my taste the cottage you stayed in had been ruined by being over modernised

      Well they are protected and have been there for centuries so they won't be going anywhere no immigrants are seen or could afford to live in these villages anyway..
