Let’s face it, most of us will never own a grand estate in England, but in this book, you can explore the interiors and gardens of some of the loveliest historical homes in the Cotswolds. Twenty estates are featured, with information about how and when they were built, interesting tidbits about their histories and who owns them now. The gorgeous photographs of homes and gardens are enough to make anyone wish they part of the landed gentry. Lovely

Large homes have always been interesting to me alike museums too, in this guide to some of the hidden homes in the Cotswolds, we learn years of history the homes hold and continue to honour. Whether it's finding dated furniture to upkeep the old style way of the house or just keeping the original features of the house in great condition, the owners allow us in to their lives by sharing why they care and love their homes so much.



Each home also is accompanied by a large, vast area of garden complete with many plants, features such as statues or possibly stables for owners horses as well as some having moat like water surrounding them giving the already large manor homes the essence of being castle like in their design.



Hugo Thomas has captured the houses vast size with clear photography throughout of the outsides and insides of each home we are invited to explore with crisp photography showing off the features throughout each area explored.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
