I’m so grateful to home owners who respect the unique architecture, details, and character of their old houses.
Yes, we think so too!
So beautiful. Thankyou.
Oh gosh; I must say , this is the most really authentic cottage. So far absolutely takes one back to the eighteenth century. How amazingly cosy 😅s this beautiful cottage P S I adore the Welsh people!
Dear Kirsten, Now as an Irish born woman , Living in Canada Often my dreams are of walking in the countryside Ireland Scotland England Now is my dream to one day visit Wales You have made me so happy with this latest Adventure with Joerg Do hope Joerg can repair his Drone Loved every inch of the beautiful Welsh Cottage Mary Canada 🇨🇦
I really delighted in seeing this cottage!!! I consider you two as friends!! Thank you !!
Soooo cozy!! No wi-fi, no TV, rain and fog, board games, daffodils....how perfecty delightful!!! Thanks for sharing this little gem!!🌺🌈🙋♀️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, isn't it!? The foggy weather kind of makes it mystical and magical.... Like in an fairy tale ❤
❤¹6th@@KirstenJoerg
@@BubsyMupsy I much don’t like fog much or mist, but I like the winter and our cold and snowy upstate New York winters. Nothing like an old colonial house, a nice fireplace or woodstove, a comfy couch and a good book.
I'm delighted by this cottage. I would very much live in a tranquil home where I can relax, and give my thanks to the Lord.💟
Quaint & Cozy! Kudos to the Owner for keeping the integrity of the original Cottage.
So glad you think so too! It's a special cottage!
Me encanta esa casa, me recuerda la de mis bisabuelos aquí en el norte de España.
You two are Fun and Cute no matter where you are but this cottage is my favourite!!! Loved this video 😊
Aloha dear hearts, thank you for this lovely video. I fell so in love with this cozy cottage. Exposed beams do wonders in a home. Had them in my A Frame cottage and spent hours just staring at them. The stairway upstairs with it’s creeping sound brought vivid images to my mind of families living there in a time gone by. The no TV or internet is absolutely refreshing. I have not owned a TV since the year 2000 and when people come to visit and notice no TV anywhere they are so surprised to hear,”Yup, no TV.” My only constructive suggestion is the upholstery on the living room cushions looks very 1970’s ish. Perhaps either a blue or green or even red velvet or an old fashioned upholstery covering would fit right in. Sorry about Mr. Drone, hopefully he can be repaired. Your background music is perfect, stay well 🏚☀️♥️.
Hello Kirsten and Joerg. I have my tea and little dog sitting next to me. I’m ready for my favorite couple! ❤️
Oh how lovely, thanks so much!
I love old world cottages, so beautiful
Cozy beautiful cottage.It is a dream.Well worth watching over and over.Love it.
You always find the most delightful places to share with us Kirsten and Joerg. Thank you x
Thanks so much for your kind words!
My favorite writing by Max Ehrmann is on the wall in that cottage, "Go Placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence......." I love it! Thank you for yet another wonderful video. Happy Travels!.............Tammy
"Hello from the Welsh American Channel. Just want to let you know that we Welsh Americans are also interested in what is going on in Wales. Cymru am byth!""
As a resident of the Caribbean, I am transported to my wanderlust every time I watch one of your videos. So idyllic and serene. Thanks for giving me such a wonderful glimpse into this most beautiful part of the world, a world I hope to one day explore with my daughter 🤗. Blessings and safe travels to you, Kirsten and Joerg.
What an absolutely divine place! ❤
We can always count on you and Joerg to find the best looking cottages to help get our creative juices flowing! Thank you so much!
So nice of you, thank you!
Birds chirping, fire crackling, rain pouring... So many beautiful sounds of the nature. What more could one need? Perhaps a peaceful, charming and cosy cottage to snuggle up, drink your tea and enjoy the simplicity of life? That and the very appetizing dinner. Just perfect. Sorry to hear about your Drone. I hope it's not kaputt.
Yes, sounds of nature and the crackling fire - perfection! Thank you so much for your kindness.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful cottage, I would love to sit and have a cup of tea by the window. It’s incredible you have daffodils in February, here in Canada we still have snow for another month at least.
Stunningly ORIGINAL COTTAGE ..and yes "" eat cake and. Carry on.. "" 🎂👍😍LOVELY 👌.
It's the wonderful life! Silence and happy.
Thank God that Dorian kept the original furnishings. That's exactly what creates the charm and soul of this pretty house. I🥰 don't understand those owners who absolutely need to modernize such an old and original cottage. Absolutely stunning.
I’m obsessed with those windows in the bathroom. I actually love all the windows. I love the beams upstairs too. Oh and the daffodils in bloom scattered outside the cottage. How cosy is the room with the burning log burner. ❤ Glorious sound of the birds chirping. Thank you for 5he your it was so nice
This cottage is the perfect home ❤
It's a beautiful cottage.
That's why Wales is so wonderfully green, all that liquid gold!..Brilliant guy's!..♥👍
Wherever you go Joerg always looks comfortable and settled in. I hope you enjoyed your break despite the weather.
Such a beautiful cottage i love the way they have restored it
❤IT TRANSPORTED ME TO THOSE OLD TIMES ITS SO PEACEFUL SO BEAUTIFUL THANKYOU KIRSTEN AND JOERG
Thank you Kirsten and Joerg for making life so much better with your beautiful videos you know they always cheer me up and I end up with a really big cheesy grin on my face after watching them.
Oh my, you are so very kind! Thank you!
Yes! That's how I was hooked! I've been learning so much and inspired by so many things.... especially Cornishware! 😄
Thank you so much Kristen and Jeorge for your awesome videos ! They really put a smile on my face and love how you both just love each other! Take care !!! ❤😊❤
Kudos to Dorian for his thoughtful and sympathetic restoration of this cottage. This is absolutely stunning, gorgeous understated beauty. You are correct, this is a proper historic property. The spoon collection is an unexpected treat - going back a couple of hundred years it would have been common for people to have handmade utensils acquired at different times, and not all matching the others. We take our current era of relative abundance for granted. When new, this cottage was special, and the pride of the builders/owners. The original yellow walls show that it was not a dreary place, but full of dreams and hopes. The children's box bed is wonderful.
We have so many hand carved spoons in our area. Many people have taken up the hobby.
Simple living is the happy living!
Now that’s a cottage I could quite happily move into. Absolutely stunning.
I bought my Staffordshire dogs over 30 years ago, they are one of my treasures. Thank you for the tour of thst beautiful and cozy cottage, Wales is very enchanting.💕🏴
How fitting that the daffodils welcomed you to Wales! The daffodil is the official flower of Wales. 🏴 This cottage is amazing! It is so wonderful how the owner kept the historic charm. Thank you both for this! 😊💜
All the creaking and groaning going up the stairs reminded me of my grandma's house! Such a lovely house for a holiday. And the locally sourced Victoria sponge looks delicious.
Dear Kirsten and Joerg, Just when we think your videos can’t get any more wonderful.. you show us this exquisite historical cottage in Wales!! 🏴 Kirsten, thanks for showing us so many details and names.. the antique furniture pieces, the lime washed walls and slate floors, the ladles on the wall.. the beautiful Staffordshire dogs.. it’s all so lovely! So fun to listen to you playing Trivial Pursuit!! 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😄 Your dinner looked amazing.. nice work Joerg! I loved the morning birdsong and scattered daffodils 🌼. We hope your drone can be repaired!🤞🏻 All in all.. lovely to see you both!! ❤❤
You are so kind, thank you so much Marcia! Oh yes, we had so much fun playing although we were so bad as this version is definitely for British and American folks hahah but we had a laugh for sure. We really hope we can save the drone.
I miss Great Britain so much... It has been my favorite travel destination for years. Now I enjoy watching your lovely videos! Thank you for making me travel again... ❤
Hi! This was one of my favorites. I feel like I walked through the rooms with you and have been left peaceful and rested. Thank you! I JUST bought a Welsh Pot Board Dresser here in the United States. It is lovely. When I saw you were visiting a Welsh Cottage...I hoped and hoped that there would be a Welsh Dresser, and there it is! I am so happy to see one in its original surroundings. God bless you both, I feel warm and inspired after watching.
What an exquisite example of a historic home! Love your choice of music during the tour! You never cease to amaze you two! How glorious of you.. 😊
Thank you so much!
Pure Country Air, Birdsong and cosy cottage : So perfect the views with the lovely daffodils Mary Canada 🇨🇦
You always find unique hideaway cottages! As always, thank you for taking me along with you!
👋 Hi Kirsten & Joerg , Enjoyed seeing the Welch 18th century cottage . Wow it still had the cast-iron oven and I happen to notice the bed pan warmer hanging on the wall. It looks so cozy and warm. Thank you for another great video.
Such a lovely peaceful cottage. Thank you again for spending time with us.
This is the most beautiful home I have ever seen. Thank you two most gracias host and hostess♥️🙏👍
Wow! I love that cottage. It’s like walking back in time. Just lovely
Hello Kirsten and Joerg, hope you are both well.. Looking forward to your video ❤️🏴
Thanks so much - hope you're well too!
I love wales, spent many happy times there in my childhood.
Mein Gott ist das gemütlich 😊Diese Ruhe.Vor allem das Vogelgezwitscher. Der Garten😌ist so schön im Frühling. Schneeglöckchen, Narzissen, die wundervolle Landschaft. Ein Traum!
Das freut uns sehr zu hören! Viele liebe Grüße
I stayed in this lovely cottage with my youngest daughter about four years ago. We lit the fire and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and it was so peaceful outside. ❤
So so happy to hear that! It honestly is the perfect place if one wants to find peace and serenity.
Almost felt like going back in time. The peace palpable. delightful. I once holidayed at a cottage in Wales at a place Called Strumble Head Without electricity, light by oil lamp, open fires, The oven and water heater for washing and baths was off some gas bottles outside the only mod cons. A great place for spotting Porpoise too.
That spoon collection - omg! 😂 The birds chirping outside, the warm and cosy atmosphere inside, the thick walls, the fireplace, the comfy and pure bathroom - I probably couldn't leave that place ever again....
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much!
Very nice video. We always enjoy relaxing with two very nice people.
Beautiful cottage my type of dwelling ✨
Vi adoro siete meravigliosi 🌳🌳🏡🌳🌳💝
That was such an amazing cottage. I love all of the period things that were left in there. So many cozy places to sit
So glad you like it!
Wonderful artifacts in this cozy little cottage. Love the tour😊
Thanks so much!
I love all your lovely videos and travels. Kirsten, you have the most soft and beautiful voice!...and Joerg is so handsome and sweet.
Danke, war wieder ein schöner Beitrag ❤
The welsh cottage is soo beautiful. Like living in a museum, so different. Thanks for this wunderful video!🥰
So so happy you like it!
was just like waliing into one of the cottages in St Fagans open air living museum in Cardiff.
Such a beautiful cottage. Absolutely love it. Your presentation of it added to it's finess
Thank you so much!
Интересное путешествие в прошлое спасибо 😊
❤ love this place thank you 😊 made my day
It's a real pleasure to learn English with you ! I love it when you say "gorgeous" ! And with you, it's also a moment of happiness and peace ! Thanks ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (one ♥for every day for both of you !!
The opening shot of the cottage, the daffodils and the birds chirping was perfect. What a cozy place to stay on a rainy weekend.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience in this cottage. I would enjoy the quiet time with the rain and the cozy fireplace. It looks inviting.
So wonderful to see the different kinds of cottages they find. And every one has birds singing so beautiful when they’re outside.
So cozy and inviting. And the daffodils are the promise of Spring! Thanks for sharing this lovely moment that always puts a smile on my face, Kirsten and Joerg!
Thanks so much! Yes though they have never been that early, it has been too mild.
I do not know why Kirsten has not been invited to present a TV show ! ❤ love it
Oh my, you are far too kind! Thanks so much!
This is practically a TV show, isn't it? If producers from a TV channel got involved they'd probably spoil it with irrelevant promotion and take the creative control away from Kirsten. But I agree, Kirsten would also make a fantastic presenter on TV.
The travel Channel would be perfect for this lovely couple
I love it❣️♥️🙏🏻✨🌈
Wow.
Большое спасибо, Кирстен и Йорг, за очередную красоту😊. Сплошной позитив, благодарю за ваш труд
Нет WI_FI, нет телевизора, как это круто! Так было бы чудесно сбежать из этого сумасшедшего, суетного мира и спрятаться в таком тихом, безмятежном уголке, хотя бы ненадолго! Благодарю, что показываете такие очаровательные места!
Maybe you can find à nice little isba not so far your home,if you live in Russia,my son was one year of schoolarship near Tver and said that there were a number of abandonned houses in the country full of potential for restauration with a😊 lot of charm
SUCH a delight. My imagination was going crazy with thoughts and images of the past.
We left Birmingham and moved to the border of Wales 5 years ago. Our cottage was so cheap and its beautiful now, filled with antiques that are so abundant and cheap, especially in Wales. Plus there are so many empty cottages all over Wales. Its still amazes me that it is cheaper to live in a beautiful place than in the city.
Cottage perfection…..wonderful how the owner has preserved it. Your video captured the very essence of this stunning property. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Oh I really loved and needed this video. How picturesque. I can’t believe the daffodils were out either!! That cottage is exactly like what my Adam and I are trying to achieve in our house. The owner has done a fantastic job conserving and resorting. Absolutely fantastic! 🏴
So so happy you like it! It's just cosy perfection, isn't it? I'm sure you will get there with your house.
Excelente, muy bien grabados los videos, con muy buen gusto , y sobre todo, practico el inglés con los relatos de las señora.
What a beautiful cottage!!! It looks so peaceful and fun to just relax, read a good book, and enjoy tasty meals and delicious desserts. Thank you guys. I love your videos. ❤
I love Kirsten's dresses! Enjoy your tea❤
Thank YOU!
Kirsten looked utterly delightful sitting at the table; perhaps the owner would use that photo to showcase his home :)
That was a delightful cottage tour. What a wonderful place to escape the madness of the modern world and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Welsh countryside, cake and cosy cups of tea. Thank you both so much for sharing🙂…and I’m sure you’ll be able to save the drone. Fear not👍🙂
Thanks so much!
Love yr game!😂
Mein Gott…ich liebe den Charme dieser alten Dinge und des Cottages, wo sieht man sowas noch..danke fürs mitnehmen ❤
This is one of my favorites!!! Just wonderful!❤ Kathy J
Glad you like it!
So beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful little cottage. Amazing. 😊
One could make a holiday out of just spending time studying every nook and cranny of that sweet cottage! Your video gave me great pleasure. Thank you so much!
That’s so so true!
The birdsong is magical. What a lovely cottage, absolutely adore those wide windowsills. The up lighting in the kitchen, well I don't think I've noticed that before, it's such a wonderful idea. And couldn't agree more that it's great he restored, instead of remodel. Seeing Joerg sitting by the fire with his book, is exactly what I was thinking I'd do. Hope it works out ok with the drone.!
Thank you so much Wende, so glad you like it! It's a great place.
Beautiful cozy piece of history that I would love to live in. So peaceful and serene.
I love such atmospheric cottages. I love everything antique. It’s like being transported back to past centuries. I would love to live in a house like this. Thank you for the video ! You are so cute)
Kirsten & Joerg. Another wonderful cottage video. I really love how the owner keeps things original. It would be a wonderful place to spend a weekend. Our daffodils are just peeking out of the ground can't wait till spring. Cheers Ron & Dovie
So glad you like it! Yes, we love how authentic the cottage feels.
I enjoyed this Welsh cottage so much that I watched a second time. I could move in tomorrow.
Bravissimi! Veramente gradevole la vostra compagnia!
I must say that I really enjoy each of your videos: I really have the impression of being with you in all those wonderful cottages and landscapes... Thank you.
Oh that's so wonderful to hear, thank you so much!
This was such a lovely and so cozy cottage! I feel there’s always some kind of charm in houses that make you bend your head when you enter… when you get to do that you know you are in really old and authentic place.❤
So happy you like it!
Lovèly, knockout birdsong. Many thanks.
GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A WORK DONE WITH SO MUCH LOVE, AND FOR SHOWING US PLACES SO BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF HISTORY, THANK YOU 😊👍. BESOS 😘😘 PAREJA KIRSTEN AND JOERG 🙋BYE
I live in Wales and love the old cottages, really looking forward to this 😍❤️
It will be amazing to 'see' you tonight.
Пробовала делать вашу выпечку из книг. Очень понравилось. И вкусно. Благодарю❤
My Welsh sncestors could have lived in a cottage like this!!
So cozy, charming, and fairytale inducing. Just absolutely beautiful. That dinner looked really delicious. Thank you for sharing.
What an intriguing picture!
So kind, thank you!
I just tuned in and it looks so beautiful. Oh wow that is old!! Your so blessed to be there. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤
So glad you enjoyed it!
Charming video and don’t, we love Jamie Olivers recipes, blessings❤
Lovely amazing peaceful and quiet welsh cottage 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lovely Welsh cottage renovated true to its age. I wonder if you would consider sometime in the future making a book of your wonderful photo journalism? I sometimes pause your videos to admire how well you have framed the scenery. The scenery you capture is breathtaking. I could envision some of the landscapes framed and hanging on a wall. Would love to have a book of your adventures. Your talent at capturing perfect photos is appreciated.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Спасибо, всё было вкусно,атмосферно и по-весеннему пьяняще!Голоса птиц из окошечек ванной комнаты,подставки для маленьких и больших ложек--восхитительны!!!😊
Kristen & Joerg ,how very nice to see you ! ❤
Wow! So many flowers blooming!
If one had to stay in because of the rain, I’d say you found the perfect cottage ❤
