- Our Fairytale Cottage in Devon// Real cottagecore dreams! Joerg and I spent the most amazing week in this beautiful fairytale cottage that epitomises the dream of TINY LIVING. It's the most gorgeous thatched roofed cottage that makes you think of the film The Holiday.
Happy New Year 2019! Time for the first video of the year which I'm so excited about. We started the New Year in North Devon where we stayed at the cutest holiday cottage owned by The Landmark Trust near Peppercombe Beach. Pure bliss without WiFi or any phone signal giving us all the time to chill and relax. If you're looking for some peace and quiet, you can rent this beautiful wee cottage in the woods. We had our godson Luca with us who visited us in the UK for the first time and it was just wonderful.

Imagine this place on Christmas😭😍😍😍😍
That reminds me of the episode of black mirror called white Christmas lol.
It was Christmas but no decorations, maybe they don't mind about it
@@purplepixie274 Yeah😭I mean, who needs decoration if you live in a place like that..every day is christmas😀❤️
HELLO, ME.
Yes
When Jane Eyre runs away from Thornfield Hall and is taken in by the Rivers family, this is what I imagine the house to look like!!
That was such a good movie
@@ellenpeel2346 It
It's a great book too.
I am so impressed by how well Kirsten and Joerg live. They indulge in affordable but gracious English style. Lovely.
This was a holiday cottage we booked for a stay over New Year‘s with our godson. It’s not our house.
@@KirstenJoerg Oh my! I thought it was your home as well!! Beautiful! Just found y'all,(like y'all have been missing😅) and enjoying the sights and cottages!
I am 83 as a child after the war we went on holiday in Devon and Cornwall ,on a 🛣️ motor bike and sidecar ( broth superior ) to see if clovelly again was such joy , on the way we would camp at stone henge overnight, there was never anybody there just us
@@margaretpijnaker9922
Hello sir,
I’m writing an article on the war and would like to know about first hand experience. Is it possible to connect with you somehow. Maybe via email

I’m a Dutchman, but England is my most favorite (holiday)country !!! the UK runs through my vaines and blood 😀🇬🇧, can’t wait to go again, but now is it December and COVID-19 time...😬, but we mostly go in June. Lovely cottage, a really chocolate box, It is a dream to have a cottage like this in the Uk!!! And I love the UK coastline, the roughness attracts me a lot!!!!
I also love the UK. ❤
@@tonisumblin2719 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏰
Do try to visit my home place in the highlands of Scotland. If you love ruggedness, nature and beautiful scenery , then you’ll love it!
@@annenittis6506 thanks for your reaction. I assume that the cottage in this video is yours? In any way, a dream cottage!
@@samdevries6280 no not at all. Just suggesting you consider the Highlands it is very naturally beautiful .
Unless you have a very large family, nobody needs more room than that. Very charming!
That’s an opinion. Not a fact, a lot of people like spacious rooms actually. I actually prefer palatial.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 he said need.... definitely fact. Actually we NEED considerably less than this. You are talking about your preference.
Quite right. I've lived or stayed in anything from shoe box sized studio apartments (I liked "tiny" houses while single, and even married without kids), to palatial country estates (I eloped with an American and have never been happier! The titled noble side of my family are still not talking to me! Their bad, I'm happy! 💕), but I always gravitate towards the "cottage" scale and style. Not as tiny as this thatched house, but modestly sized houses. I would need a large cavernous kitchen to rival large country houses, though. I cook a lot, for a lot of people, on a daily basis, and grow enough garden produce to always be canning, dehydrating, salting, curing, smoking, and just otherwise preserving them. I can work from a tiny excuse of a kitchen in a studio apartment, I've done it before, but I wish I had a larger (or better organized) kitchen (think Audley End house, lol) nearly every day. It would be a "frankenhouse"! 😅
Exactly. Less to clean. More to love.
@@CindymeCindy Yes! Every time I look at a home's interior my first thought is how much work would it be to keep it clean? Less is more.
It looks lovely! 🤗 Here in the US we get wrapped up in have huge homes, but who really needs that? Simple is better.
That's true, homes in the UK are usually a lot smaller.
@z It's actually not our home, I mention in the video that it belongs to the Landmark Trust and you can rent it for a holiday. The link is in the description box. Thank you.
I know, I'm in IL looking to buy a five bedroom home, then I see this and fall in love
I agree my husband and I want to down size and were just 52 and 53 but don't need all the space
I think there are many big home in the UK too like US or every other countries. They just live in this particular small cottage
I was born and bread in South Devon , moved too London when I was 18 , lived in many places around the world 🌎, I’m 60 now and not too well. Gosh I miss my home county of Devon , I so won’t to come home , thanks for reminding me , although I needed little reminding , how much my heart ❤️ belongs there .🙏
I hope you make it home
I love England been there several times when my daughter was living over there I wish I could go back I'm in my sixties also and not able to get around also...
born and BRED not bread. bread is what you eat!
I was born and brought up in South East London, but moved to Cornwall where I lived and worked for 15 years. Then moved to Exeter, and now to Totnes, so the last 29 years have been in Devon! Really fortunate to be here in my retirement!
They are the most adorable couple and I think that Jorge has Avery good since of humor I just like their vintage style
Who needs big houses and fancy high speed cars when the most beautiful things in life are things things that make us appreciate what this lovely uk has to offer us. ❤️😍
We need fairytale every once in a while.
That's so true.
Yes .... we do! .....
An escape from a world that is very confused, changes too quickly. Sometimes we need just to be calm, and just be.
Indeed 🌺
Lovely people, lovely countryside, lovely manners and lovely landscape. What's more to desire?
My ancestors lived in Devon (Holsworthy area) for hundreds of years until they came here to Canada in the early 1800's. I visited Devon 10 years ago and fell in love with it!
Our Devon ancestors came to Canada from Ashburnham and we visited in the time frame of this video - so moving to return home ❤
Hello char canuck, how are you doing?
I'm from the Holsworthy area and it blows my mind that people outside of Devon and the UK knows of it! We are a tiny but beautiful town!
Спасибо за возможность прикоснуться к культуре и традициям прекрасной страны.❤️
This video is what I mean when I say "England". Love it
That is lovely! I especially like that you are soft spoken. I'm so over the loud people here in the U.S. I was raised around a Scottish Grandmother, so we had to learn to speak low. God forbid I should slam a door! My Grandmother would make me close it again, softly. I truly miss her!
I agree, It's funny but I always have walked lightly and shut doors quietly as well, it's how you're raised.
My school did the same Thank God for it
Lisa Bolognese I like that. Very much. Your grandma sounds like an amazing character.
What about minute 10:18
I'm so over Americans insulting their own culture.
This video is where I first discovered the two of you. I thought it was your house, in the beginning. I absolutely love it and envy the location. I’m a fairytale in the forest kind of person. It’s just so charming. 💕
Haha I've driven past this house for the last 5 years regularly. I was born and bred in devon. Love the place
you aint living in the same devon as me
@@erinhemens6215 eh?
Oliver Blackhall i mean some of devon is beautiful, but the area where i live isn’t, it’s scary to walk alone at night, and it saddens me when i go to the richer areas of devon and see how nice and clean is there
@@erinhemens6215 haha I'm in teignbridge area it's alright where I live on the edge of the moors. I agree Newton abbot and Plymouth are scary😂 haha
Oliver Blackhall haha🤣
Watching this now, during the covid19 pandemic. What a lovely get away from everything. Thank you for taking the time to share!!!

Same here. Thank you from California.
Second wave in Italy, this is a little escape that I’m grateful for. Thanks to RUclips recommendations 😭🙏🏻
@@Fivepinkkumo same here, but from Brazil. I hope everything gets better
@@brnne sending love to your beautiful country, we can do this
Thank you for sharing this corner of the world with those of us who can not visit.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment!
I can very nearly feel the sensation of cobblestones 'neath my feets
LoveLOVELovely
~X💗💨X~
Thanks for showing your lovely home.
I lived in England for 7yrs. Up in yorkshire, east midlands and stoke on trent. I love the UK. I visit London a couple of times and it was neat to see but its so cosmopolitan. I spent most weekends in the peak district and lake district and the northern east coast. I miss it so much!
She has to be one of the sweetest people ever.
When I watch about British people I always think all of them are very nice with good manners and attitudes 😍
@@alinatiwa she's German?
@@TheIckleBear her accent more like a British
This was a treat for me as I am Canadian but my grandparents came from very close to this area. It gives me a glimpse of places they likely went and how beautiful it is.
Were your ancestors from Devon?
i would be as happy as a clam living a a cottage like that and the town is so quaint you have everything there!
I just loved this video which showed up in my RUclips feed suddenly! Utterly charming!
Mine too. A very welcome suggestion!
Thanks so so much for watching!
That really made my day, thank you!
Me too... gorgeous place!
Mine too! Glad it did!
Absolutely delightful cottage. I'm returning home back to UK after 5 years in USA and am so happy. I'll get to see beautiful old historical buildings and lovely cottages like yours!
The cottage doesn't belong to them it's a holiday rental. The provide a link below the video.
Agreed 👍
Thank you as always for allowing us all to see the charming, cozy sites in England through your eyes! So appreciate it!
Thank you for giving me the gift of travel to places I will never get to see with out youtube adventures such as yours. Your videos take me and I really enjoy it.
me too Peggy ❤️
I agree 100%. I have serious health issues and live my life through movies, documentaries and books. This opens up my world!
@@jenniferbueller2302 I'm house bound and can no longer travel. These videos are the closest thing to seeing each one.
@@liamryanwealthrichard3615 why are you spamming every comment with your info? Any account manager worth a damn doesn't go trolling for new clientele on RUclips.
Beautifully said
Beautiful! I would rather have a small, easy to heat home than a huge one any day!
Old stone cottages are very difficult to heat and have huge heating bills, damp rooms and drafty.
Me too ;)
@@snowflakemelter1172 you don’t know what you are talking about.
@@AJ-zf8tu If you look at the wall as she walks into the house - it looks green with moss - a sign of rising damp perhaps? I lived in a house with rising damp - very cold.
"Tiny but cosy" I love it
So lovely and relaxing.
Part of me wants to keep living in Seattle, and the other part of me wants to move into a tiny cottage in the woods. The struggle is real. 😩
I know that feeling 😕
Well the past couple months may have made that decision a bit easier haha. In all seriousness it sounds like you are yearning to be with nature. You only have one life and you should chase that vision. Before you realise you will be old. Do something extraordinary you'll thank yourself later when you're in such a nice natural place.
Naomi Grace Bet you don’t wanna live in Seattle now LOL
@@chloenkitty Poor girl haha. I feel bad for Americans
I really enjoyed this it was so calming and so interesting again,I really liked it will tune in again !
Not sure what algorithm would suggest I like this type of video, but I’m glad for it. What a beautiful, peaceful video.
I love hearing owls in the evening. It really is quite a mystical sound!
She has a lovely soft voice that matches the ambiance of the cottage. The cottage is absolutely charming. Not "designer" but real for real people. Decorated for Christmas, with a fire in the fireplace, it would be heaven.
I wish we all people live simple like this and use all the wealth for the needy ones. this world will become a heaven in no time.
Don't think so. 'Heaven' and 'hell' are inside me and you, and this is reflected in the world.
Ridiculous. And I'm left. What motivation would people have to achieve more if anything beyond a tiny cottage gets taken away and given away? What about those who can and want to push the boundaries of innovation instead of living like hobbits? The needy should be helped but not by forcing such a low 'ceiling' on everyone else
I really don’t think you could live that way yourself. Just Keeping a fireplace going could be a Challenge.
@@12345cornbread Nothing is impossible. There are many who are living simple by choice.
Who is going to build all these little houses and he infrastructure that goes with them?
The charming lady that stays in a charming cottage. ❤
A world away, I live in Holdenville, Oklahoma USA. I wanted to say how beautiful and absolutely lovely is your special cottage!!!! It is perfect and magical!!!!
Lovely cozy old England! I’ve always wondered how it would be like to live in such a peaceful place and surroundings...
My heart wants to live there how divine
It's a pretty special cottage in Devon, so glad we got to spend some time there.
I have imagined a cozy place at the end of the world, and I think I have found it.
🏡 Utterly charming cottage & fairytale city by the sea. Who wouldn't adore a 🏵Pepto Bismol Pink home!?
What a soft spoken & relaxed hostess too. You seem very sweet. Also love your vintage fashion aesthetic.
🎉 Thx for sharing your holiday experience with the world🌐.
☮💛🌼
Beautiful place! I'm from England and have lived in American suburbia for over 50yrs. I so miss the little villages, country walks, etc. Much beauty in USA but very different.
Your fireplace in your kitchen is massive but I suppose when the house was built the kitchen fireplace was such an important part of life. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
What a beautiful cottage, and what a beautiful place is devon. I enjoyed the video very much! Thank you for sharing. 😀🤩👍
I'm so glad you did, thanks so much. Oh yes, would go back to the cottage in a heartbeat, the perfect place to relax for sure.
I'm at uni and seeing this reminds me of home.. i can't wait to go home and go on a walk and see more than just a big city!
I was up in Clovelly 3 weeks ago on a lovely warm & sunny day we passed your little cottage , it only takes just over two hour’s to get there I live on the south coast of Devon near the river Yealm like you I love all the beautiful walks by the sea, I have only just found your captivating videos.
I very much enjoyed your Country especially the Germany markets at Christmas 🎄 time, I look forward to seeing more of your fabulous videos .😔. 🐏. 🍀🐝
Добрый день ! Очень нравится этот стиль , как будто я тут когда то жила , такое все родное.
It's so perfectly ENGLISH.
She speaks such good English
as she is British. Most probably
only English as well.
@@user-ot1jo2mp3h I'm German which is clearly stated in my channel art saying 'A German in Britain' lol :)
I saw similar houses in Transylvania. Mostly Hungarian
It was so kind of you to share. Such a breath of fresh air and a change from the city.Absolutely delightful.
🍁🌾🍂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Ruth, thanks so much for stopping by.
Your vlogs are very peaceful and very nice to watch.It fills my heart with such a serene feeling and happiness that cannot be described in words.Thank you very much♥️
This showed up in my algorithm and I rewatched it but this is the vlog that drew me to your channel. It was your comforting voice and this cozy cottage!
this was the video for me too and I still revisit it once in a while :)
Even her dressing sense is VINTAGE my eternal favourite. 🧣🧤🧥👜👠💄💃
Love her red/white coat. Never seen anything so perfect.
Living in a lovely part of the world no pollution, quiet and peaceful.
Apart from the silage pit up the lane and tractors going by at all hours .
@J OneLife One tiny part of it
@@sarahmiller9365 fresh air of the countryside 😂
What a wonderful place!!!
I'd love to visit it someday.
I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Hello Kirsten and Joerg - I so much love how the British preserve the quaintness in their cottages and countryside. Congrats!
I would love living there. So quaint and lovely.
Hello nancy clubb, how are you doing?
Who hits dislike on this? I wouldn't live there but it's so cute and shows the world's diversity.
Привет,пишу вам из далекой страны Украины.Хочу поблагодарить за прекрасные видео и атмосферные старинные дома Англии,которые вдохновляют своей простотой.😍
Я тоже отдыхаю душой на этом канале от темы войны.
Dont stop blogging we love you. You dont have to be PERFECT!!!!
You are so kind, thank you! I actually stopped writing my blog more than 2 years ago and totally switched to video.
This is probably the most charming video I've ever seen! So quaint and so different from the US. I want to move there now!
You should watch ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY. ❤️
Your housse is so lovely. It remind me jane's austen story particularely "sense and sensibility"
Woow!
Jane's Austen home and story,indeed!
This is the first video I have seen of you and Joerg and is my favorite. I am so glad that you are not alone. You seem like a very pleasant person. Since this video, I have been very pleased with your other videos. Please keep up with making other videos. Thank you, from Southern California.
Mine too and 10 months later I’m back for another visit to this cottage
Ok, she is absolutely to die for adorable! Her voice is the best, hair, clothes, makeup the whole bit!💕
Other people have different opinion🎉
This video is the epitome of comfort, loveliness, and delight--thanks so much!
I'm so happy you like it Carole, thanks so much!
She is so quarky in a nice way and the cottage is quant. Quintessential english. Her voice is soothing.its a step back on time
Sounds Swedish /Swiss?
@@HumanimalChannel They spoke German.
quirky you mean
This really is a dream cottage in a beautiful place. I could be very happy there!
This gave me such a sense of peace while watching 🥺❤️
I'm English but now live in Australia so your video was very nostalgic for me. My parents went to Ilfracombe on their honeymoon in 1947 (that dates me doesn't it : ( ). Thank you for a glimpse into your life in your tiny pink cottage.
Oh how the world has changed since you made this video. May this nightmare be over very soon and that we all stay safe.
Oh my goodness, I always called this cottage my dream cottage whenever we walked past it! It is so nice to see it from the inside as well, so cosy 😊
Beautiful...... I remember Clovelly very well. I visited this village when I was a child. I really wish to come back one day!!!!!! ♥️
A true cottage! I adore it!❤
The inside was not at all what i expected. I absolutely LOVE the whole house!!!
I lived in England for 4 years as a kid, and this reminded me of that time. I've never been to Devon, but this makes me want to go. The food at the inn looked so good. I think I'll try to make Yorkshire pudding soon like my Mother did.
I love all the Historical, aged buildings! Thanks for sharing! Enjoying this in 2023😉👍🏼
Devon and Cornwall, gotta love them :)
I do love them! Magical 💕
Babbacombe is lovely
It's like you're living inside a painting...so gorgeous and dripping with charm!!
You’re adorable! Your town is adorable! Your home is adorable. Truly storybook!🥰
twotierneys what a sweet comment. I pray you will have your own story book dreams come true😊
It's such a cute holiday cottage that you can rent via The Landmark Trust.
Damn! You took the words out of my mouth ! Really. I thought "I'm going to say You're adorable" and she is , isn't she. Nice video.!

As a cottagecorian (someone who loves cottagecore) I can easily say your living the dream 💖
🥰🧚🏼♀️👒🐥🐈🐾🦚🍄💐🌸🍃🌞🌈
This was just dreamy.
wow that is such a lovely cottage, and clovelly is lovely too.
It's beautiful, you can rent it through The Landmark Trust, we loved it!
So lovely 🏵️ place and cat 🌈🌅💗💙💙💙♥️♥️♥️ beautiful magic video 💙💙💙💙
Love Kirsten’s clothes - the prints and especially the red coat and matching hat. Enjoying the videos -they are the essence of coziness with nature, food, history and this sweet couple.
As an Englishman who spends his time taking videos of thatched cottages and the best areas of England 🏴 I am humbled at how loved England and the English countryside is by our friends from overseas. I have visited 109 countries and know that everyone’s country is special and beautiful in different ways. This makes me appreciate England more and I thank all our foreign visitors for their enthusiasm for my country. 🙂
Therese Davis check out my cottages (scroll all the way down) and tell me which you want. 😎
@@paultsworldDo you have a youtube channel
How gorgeous and peaceful. I hope that it stays like that always.
Be still my heart. Beautiful. I would love to live in the U.K. such a gorgeous part of the world.
Not nearly always as nice as this...
Beautiful to watch again.🙋♀️
The cottage looks really nice on the inside despite its age. Beautiful woods and other scenery.
I LOVE IT!! I am a HUGE believer in enough is as good as a feast. And my darling what a lovely feast you have!! It would be such a lovely place to just have life. One day I tell myself.. one day.
Thank you! The cottage has a great size, sadly not ours but a pretty holiday cottage from The Landmark Trust.
Please Subscribe my channel thank you
Thanks for taking us with you as you visit these charming , beautiful places!!❤
Just seen this - how lovely to see Clovelly again., I was 19 yes of age when I visited ... decades later ..still have endearing memories of that time
It looks so peaceful. It’s really adorable.
This cottage is absolutely adorable. I think the size is perfect. Love the village. A terrific video. Thank you.
Love your voice and editing this was such a relaxing video to watch, subscribed!
Thanks so much Raquel!
@Raquel,
I just discovered this channel a month ago. I totally agree with you, this is such a relaxing vlog and both Kirsten and Joerg have soothing voices. I'm so happy to find KIRSTEN AND JOERG RUclips channel❣️
What a charming cottage!!! I love your clothes...so stylish.
