Our Fairytale Cottage in Dorset England
Happy Spring friends, we went away for the Easter holidays to this beautiful cottagecore fairytale hobbit cottage in the Dorset Countryside deep in a pretty woodland.
It's a beautiful little house in the middle of a woodland surrounded by pretty trees, flowers (when the local deer have not eaten them) and amazing places to visit locally.
It was our first time staying away as a family of three in a holiday cottage and truth be told I was a little worried how Tabitha would sleep being away somewhere different. Those worries were totally eradicated when she slept soundly asleep all night on both nights giving us time as a couple to enjoy the quiet of the cottage, a cup of tea and talk into the darkness of the night.
We were lucky enough to meet the owners of the cottage, two ladies (sisters) and their lovely mother who first visited the cottage when she was sixteen years old. Her husband's parents were stationed there in the war after the local estate (a big house) said they could live their as they were a young (soon to be) family. The lady and gave birth upstairs in the bigger room which is where the story really starts. Over that time the cottage stayed in the local estates hands until many years later it came up for sale when the grandmother we met bought it as a gift for her husband and the rest is history!
In the video you will see a relaxing tour of the cottage and can spend time really taking in the history and pretty features. In one of the clips you will see in the ceiling there is some sort of door, this was the original door to the upstairs (it's so small I honestly don't think I would fit through it right now!) and has been saved as part of the history of the cottage.

And to think back in the day cottages were lived in by labourers and peasants. How times have changed. I've been to many different countries and I can honestly say flying back home over England fills me with such relief. Like as much as I might have enjoyed the holiday I'm always glad to be back.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Yes it’s crazy how things change isn’t it, but then there are a lot more people and we appreciate that way of life a lot more even though it was tough! Xx

British builders built well and the Gentry didn't mind spending the extra pence. One result: these buildings are structurally sound and can be done over a treat!
English cottages are so beautiful. Spectacular video
Thank you so much lovely 🥰. I’m glad you enjoyed my video xxx
Im American, theres NOTHING I want more than to have my own beautiful, cozy, little English cottage....IN ENGLAND!!! This cottage is absolutely GORGEOUS! Its a fairytale cottage in a fairytale setting. 7:49
Thank you so so much for your lovely message! I hope you enjoy watching my cottage tours xxx
I love usa
I would have loved to have raised my own now grown-up daughter in such an environment. Rather than the urban nightmare of our modern cities. I think it's important for children to be able to explore their natural environment in relative safety.
Small and yet beautifully formed - very sweet.
Isn’t it gorgeous ❤! Sometimes the littlest holiday homes are the best ones ❤
I agree ..... @@HerCountryLiving 🧚♀
It's a little piece of heaven, so beautiful sitting among the trees - I could move in & stay forever. I bet it was VERY hard to leave at the end of your stay !
Haha I feel much the same Veronica! It was gorgeous and I wish we could have stayed even longer 🥹🌸
After you go through life and become a little wiser, you realize it is not the greatest to think you have it all, when you really have nothing, but to enjoy the little things in life, and grow more in wisdom in doing what people used to do, and learning all you can, with 'experiencing it first hand.' You become so wise and in the end, you come right back around in the older years wishing you would have less, and live more comfortably and have smaller quarters, and just feel at peace, It is not in what you have or think you have, it is in the lesser things you in the end, that you have as you will not need it all later. Many people cannot even take a trip in these days, as things are expensive, so to see a nice young couple like this have an interest in what life used to be, and take the time to visit it, and explore it, with their little child, you can see they are on the 'right track.' They know what will be most important in the end of their lives. They have already found some paradise in what they do each day! Such a sweet and wise couple!
How beautiful,and i love your dresses,from one dress wearing girl to another. I've always loved the feminity of flowing dresses.🌺🌻🪻
Aww thank you so much Sarah, I find as I’ve been bigger and older I just love how pretty they make me feel with such little effort 🥹🥰. It’s like I become a flower fairy haha 🧚♀️

You have an eye for beauty and grace. This video is so well done in a charming style. The music is also lovely and not a bit intrusive.
That dress is very flattering on you. Never mind the size.❤
Aww thank you so much ❤❤❤
What a beautiful little place to stay in for a few days and I love your choice of music with the video. England has so many wonderful places. when I was still working, I used to love to stay in a cottage somewhere that I could imagine I lived there for a week! Hope Tabitha is alright now. Sophie.
Thank you so so much, she’s feeling much better - another cold currently but she’s full of beans otherwise as they say. Aw thank you it’s so pretty isn’t it? I can’t get over how magical it feels 🥰

This is a truly magical "nook" (I wonder why all children love to tread in water?)...nice flowers in the garden and on the dress too...gorgeous little village even in rain...thank you.
Thank you so much! Haha aw I think it’s sensory fun making things splash 🥰
Lovely, quaint English cottage ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😃 it was so quaint and English fairytale hehe x
Cosy…😍🥰❤️
Your cottage is like out from a children story book and it's like snow white house in the forest. Fall in love with it, you can organize your garden and plant vegetables and fruits and make a side for flowers and the other side plant a gazon to fill the empty spaces, I imagine it will be a portrait like you have in the wall .
Aww thank you so much! Xxx
How special and sweet! Thank you! Loved 🥰 the music 🎶 too!
You are so welcome!
What a lovely cottage! And I like the name of your daughter! "Tabitha" is one of my favorite movies!

Nossa que linda casa❤
Thank you
Beautiful little place!❤ However, what a challenge to keep and furnish😮
Not at all! ❤
@@HerCountryLiving Really? How u got all that furniture in is amazing...that would be a challenge for me, but I absolutely 💕 the place!
@@Alfablue227well, she didn’t have a problem getting anything in, did she - because it’s not hers, it’s just a holiday rental…
@@frugalitystartsathome4889 I don't know, but to me it would be a nightmare moving any "larger" than average furniture into a place like that.
Bellissimo. Adoro l'Inghilterra. Sehr schoen 🌷
Thank you ☺️
Your a very pretty young woman and the dress is beautiful on you👍🙋♀️🥰🥰 thank you for sharing the quaint cottage with us all

Absolutely beautiful 😊
Thank you so much 😊 !
Beautiful I would like to visit if possible ❤
You can!
Love it!!❤ Thank you for sharing❤
You are so welcome!
Such a sweet video, just loved it. You and your family truly made my day. It was exactly what was needed. Seeing you so happy and the family enjoying it so much was so great. Even getting through the rain or shine you enjoyed it all. The cottage was such a delight! The Castel was such an icing on the cake. Would have loved seeing that too, but it was alot in such a few days, and also often they will not let anyone take pictures when they tour a place as such,
Oh my goodness, this is the sweetest comment Carol! Thank you so much for this, I really appreciated reading that this evening 🤍🥹. I’m so pleased to have you here (so positive and kind) and can’t wait to see what you think of other videos. Lucy x
@@HerCountryLiving Looking forward to them! Thank you!
So beautiful ❤️
Thank you!
@@HerCountryLiving you're welcome ❤🙏
Gražu...🤗👍💖
Thank you ☺️
what a beautifu cottage nd 😍 place
Thanks a lot 😊
Tabitha is never going to forget this, as long as she lives! Tucked away somewhere in the back of her memories, this will inform her forever of where dwarves, pixies, and faeries live! Never mind the giant's castle!!!
This is possibly the most beautiful comment I’ve ever received 😭! That’s exactly what I want for her growing up, thank you so much for this & what makes it more special is you’ve got my Grandmothers name Pamela - and she didn’t get to meet Tabitha and would 100% have said the same. Thank you ☺️ xxx
@@HerCountryLiving , God bless you, you've given me much joy in seeing this beautiful countryside! Lots of love to all of you from South Africa.
Aww you’re so welcome thank you for being here 🥰🧚♀️🌸🌷
ฉันคนไทยแลนด์ รู้สึกชอบบ้านคุณ บ้านคุณสวย สะอาด วิวสวย อากาศคงดี
Thank you ☺️
Sweet Heaven
Really warm and welcoming, a beautiful place. Since I’m renovating and fixing a similar place, May I ask what’s the square metres/footages of the cottage and what is the material used to plaster the outer walls ? :) thanks
I missed the dining room. I would change it to my living, seems bigger and put a small table in the living room, but this is just lovely.
Aw you could definitely decorate it differently ❤, I love it how it was and didn’t think of that but I’m sure that would work too 🥹🥰
Sou brasileira /Brasil, preciso de legenda pra seguir vc! Amei sua casa! O jardim de entrada… tudo é linda, meu estilo!

Thank you ☺️
❤❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️ glad you liked it. 🧚
The sight and sound of the busy traffic rushing past all the time would be enough to put me off staying here I’m afraid. Can’t bear it. Otherwise very sweet cottage.
It really isn’t that bad at all, honestly…! But I appreciate everyone has different tastes or things that bother them about holiday homes ❤. Xx
Victim to the rise in traffic of Southern England. There's nothing rural about rural Dorset; cars everywhere!
Just subscribed. I can't find these darling cottages here in New England, USA!
Thank you so much, welcome 💚🥰. I love the USA you have very different styles of properties don’t you! Xxx
The USA is too young.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 True. Construction evolved over the years. I think the closest is the style in some areas of Pennsylvania where many historic homes built with granite.
Me escrevi no seu canal linda, sou do Brasil.
Hello from England to Brazil 🇧🇷!! I’ve ASKUS’s waited to visit xxx
Such a cute house. You might try holding your camera vertically in tight spaces to avoid the empty ceiling shots.
I put the ceiling shots in on purpose.
You look beautiful
Thank you 😊
Симпатичный сарайчик
It’s a cottage not a shed! 😅 not sure if that is translated incorrectly or not.
У вас лучше, Н??
Thank you your so kind but I have to have visa to come visit your place bcoz I m from India

Its a lovely cottage, Why on earth don't you clean the garden? Its a mess
It’s a woodland, it also isn’t my garden & also how unbelievably rude?
