This trip was a dream come true for me (Crystal). My mother always fashioned her gardens after the English Countryside, I LOVE Shakespeare, and all things historic and old...a weekend in the Cotswolds was BEAUTIFUL to say the least. HAVE YOU VISITED THE COTSWOLDS BEFORE? If so, what is your favorite village or place to visit? Thanks for watching ✌🏻
I'm surprised to not see Bradford Upon Avon, Minchinhampton, Corsham, Wells or Bath in this video but still great work.
Fairytale villages ! We stayed in Woodstock once, long ago. We stayed at the Bear Hotel and loved that whole area so much ! I am so glad you took us there ! Thank you 🙏💕🌷
On my list of places to visit in 2024.😊
Don't come here go to France instead it's better..
I'm just going to say it, you guys need a food blog. I rarely like seeing people eat, but you guys are the exception 😊 Thanks again for taking us along on your beautiful adventure ❤
Our pleasure!
Thank you for appreciating my home. I visited the Cotswolds recently with my family, there are numerous real villages worth visiting off the tourist routes.
@thewealduk9802 which would you recommend?
So nice
Hi guys , cotswolds is certainly beautiful , plenty more picturesque villages dotted around , if you come back over you should visit Canterbury it has a stunning cathedral and lots of historic buildings . Proud to call England my home 😊
I have seen quite a few of your videos (eg the Orkneys) but this was REALLY good. I like to see someone who enjoys a good cream tea. But Shakespeare.... what a Guy!
Glad you enjoyed!
We BRITS are always moaning about the weather and how we want to leave the UK for another country even me.But it takes a foreigner to show us the beauty of the BRITISH ISLES and we should be lucky we we're born here so shut your trap and enjoy...Me included😂
Magic! Such a beautiful video and beautiful villages. Thanks for sharing with us. So glad to see you back so soon too ❤
Beautiful!! Thank you for taking us along. 💕
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Bourton is pronounced Bore-ton. Coffee shops restaurants etc have to pay tax on their tables, so eat in will cost more.
What a treat ❤thanks so much
So happy you enjoyed it!
This was my first experience of seeing a more detailed visit of the Cotswold. I didn’t know how beautiful it was and how I feel a longing to go. Thanks for sharing this adventure.
It’s a really beautiful area and there’s so much rich history. I think one could really spend a great deal of time just learning about the different significant events in the areas. So happy you enjoyed it ☺️
England yeah !!!
Looks like you had a great time. I live in the UK (Kent) and have never visited all those villages 😅 will need to get out more!
You should!
Love to see the Cotswolds highlighted. Thank you. Hope you visit more places
We will!
If you're planning a 2nd visit. I recommend Hidcote, Snowshill, and Kiftsgate manors.
You too are so sweet,you’re enthusiasm for the UK is great. Have you visited the Yorkshire Dales yet,definitely worth a visit
Maybe one day!
@@vanhallaadventures Soon - you'll love the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors (and WHITBY!!).
Yeah! Watching people enjoy their food is a pleasure maybe as much as where you are enjoying it. Put it in my face!
Very well done video…Very informative Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!! Beautiful video!! Thanks for sharing and for taking us thru the Cotswolds ❤❤❤
in the UK most foods are VAT (tax) free, unless you eat inside a cafe or any establishment then you are charged the standard VAT, also take away food is VAT free unless its hot then you pay tax. The idea is to help those struggling on a budget to be able to buy the essentials like food and children's clothes tax free, great videos
your wrong< fresh food, like meat, veg and fish fresh are tax free, children clothes are tax free, these are deemed to have a short life span, children grown out of clothes quickly, adults clthes are taxed, take away food served hot is taxed, there is tax on fish and chip take away, hence the hi price from what it was,
Nice vid 👍
Loved this! Have never traveled to that area of England! After this we will definitely have to make it a destination next trip❤
You should!
The tax is different for eat-in and take-away. It's not the establishments rule... its the TAXMAN! 😂
Interesting and good to know!
Absolutely brilliant video and had to subscribe so i dont miss more. Thankyou for showcasing the Cotswolds where i live and work.
It is weird whn u get kicked out the cafe, but whrever we go we should adjust with their rules. Wht a nice and informative video, thnks
Thanks for watching
Probably the best Cotswolds overall guide I've seen on here! (Hopefully) gonna get to visit London in a few weeks so thank you for this video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Fine video! Shakespeare is pretty good, and in my weaker moments I sometimes feel that I could hardly have written better myself. However, since Chaucer and Shakespeare with their lack of proper grammar and spelling, countless pedagogues and civil servants have now contrived to improve the language so that it is almost unrecognisable from these early forms! To see how English should be written, look at any Government communication! ;-)
Crystal I am very curious about the costs. Rental car etc. do you buy travel insurance in case of medical problems?
Great questions! I’ll get back to you on rental car price…I can’t quite remember. We bought travel insurance for our entire UK trip (for Scotland treks as well) plus a trip to Iceland (blog on that coming within next 2 weeks) and for 2 months it was $450 for 2 of us. I think a much shorter trip would be significantly cheaper. We’ve been looking into more travel insurance companies and comparing different options. Actually I think that would be a great video to make - comparison of options and what one may offer another doesn’t, best for medical versus general…I’ll keep the channel updated once I feel like we know enough to recommend something or just offer our findings.
The VAT, the tax on eat in food was brought in quite a while ago, , it did at the time price some food out, It not just on eat in food the tax was put on take away also, food that is served hot, Someone mentioned, it was to help the less well off, to buy childrens clothes, that is also wrong
When the tax came out, people tried to get round it, by selling fish and chip for 1p and charging 5 piounds for salt as there is no VAT on salt.
There are many things that do not VAT the tax, fresh produce, childrens clothes there is no tax, as these are deemed to have to shorter life span, kids grow out of clothes, adults clothes do have tax.
Please don't be offended, as I loved your presentation of my home, however the pronunciation of the region is the wolds,, take the word old and add the w, as in cold,fold, bold, told. Truth be told I'm surprised the locals you must have met did not mention this. I beg you both not to be offended, it was not my intention to offend. Once again please accept my thanks for the hard work involved in the production and editing of this presentation.
No worries! We have come to realize that England and Scotland are VERY sensitive to pronunciations. No offense taken!
That ‘eat out or eat in thing is all about VAT (or sales tax). There’s none on take out but 20% in eat in. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. 🙄
No one English drinks iced tea.
tax ///// bit of an odd european thing - eatin in or out and hot or pre-prepaired food all comes under different taxes -- if you think that odd france spain standing at the bar is cheaper than sitting at a table -- gets worse renovating a property italy if its up a hill builders local councils charge far more the view ??? yes // comes from days of horse and carts and was never changed --- books some has vat tax some dont -- on and on - // france have a 600 year old barn // although its the same property our tax went up because we added windows // france tax varies on depth of your swimming pool --- I live in a small french village a bottle of wine in the cafe is 8 euros but takeaway is 10 euros --- taxation in europe is bonkers complicated .. its not personal -- as cafes can get into trouble --- very nice video -- barnsley house hotel is nice - it was the home of our kings garden designer - under renovation till summer but -- gardens for a house are quite something special - not cheap you can visit for dinner //coffee cotswolds ... london taxes are higher in west london on properties as the smog smoke from chimneys - used to blow west to east // so west london had better air higher taxes ---.... cotswolds area most people just visit the tea shops but has some lovely walks out of the villages can buy good walking books -- - became rich area because of medieveal wool production -- now second home of movie stars royalty and well off types escaping bath tourists ironically ... great for horse riding lots of stables in area ...
Wow! I learned a lot about taxes today. Thanks! ☺️
Shoulda done England 20 years ago. Just not the same place in 2023.
It is if you stay out of that cesspit LONDONISTAN.
Depends where you are, big cities are totally changed but towns and villages where I live in Yorkshire are exactly the same.
@@forsakingfear3652 not for much longer if where I live is anything to go by...and I'm waaay North of you.
@cmcc3721 well my village between Leeds and Selby is 99% white, granted there are two pizza shops in village but the muck that run them come from leeds somewhere. There is two corner shops run by Indian families and two black families out of 8000 residents.
If we go east and north from me it is a minimum of 95% white until we hit York and Hull.
If I go west then yes it's totally different.
Shackspear 🤮
LOL I take you do not like Shakespeare?
You can’t even spell it you numpty.
Shakespeare..
