- Welcome to The Cotswolds, a beautiful part of the UK covering almost 800 square miles and 5 counties! Benji, Bonnie & I spent a week for Christmas in Charlbury, exploring Chipping Norton, Kingham, Burford, Stow-On-The-Wold, Cotswolds Wildlife Park, Bourton-On-The-Water, Bicester Village, Daylesford Organic Farm and lots of pubs, shops, quaint villages and towns. Hopefully we can return in the summer when the weather is better, but we really enjoy the escape! Enjoy the vlog, Brogan x

Welcome back m’loves! Happy new year, hope you’re all well and enjoy this new little staycation vlog 🥰🚜🏡✨
Yay missed ya :) hope u and benji and Bonnie doing well 😘 xx
Loved this video. It made me feel more Christmassey than I did at Christmas! The bells on Christmas day were lovely. I was thinking: “It’s like living in The Holiday” & then you said it! Bonnie at the Zoo & the traditional pubs were lovely X
Aww thank you Gary!! xx
Just discovered you in March 2024 Brogan. I’ve now been all over the world with you guys and have fallen in love with you both ❤ Incredible natural team ! X Many congratulations on your marriage - you were made for each other.
Same! Having so much fun going back and watching the older videos :)
❤❤❤❤Loved watching my old home. We moved to Las Vegas 26 years ago from Fairford. You must go back in the summer to appreciate all the markets and pub gardens. I went to Daylesford 3 years ago and the restaurant food is amazing. I also bought a bag. Thank you for a little trip home.❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Brogan this was so magical! What a lovely thing for us viewers to watch. The cottage looked so cosy and Bonnie girl was just adorable - seeing her joy at the zoo was just wonderful! Happy new year beautiful girl! xxx
Love this video! The Cotswolds looks lovely, especially the dog-friendly zoo💖
Thanks Carly, it was fab!
Loved this, I really enjoyed my time in The Cotswolds so I can't wait to go back at some point 😍

I could not imagine starting off the new year with a better viewing experience than this. During my unforgettable trip across the pond in 2008, my friend mentioned the Cotswolds..and if we had more time she would've taken me there. As if my heart wasn't already left in that country ❤ Happy 2022 guys. Bugger off to the weather, sorry for that. Wonderful wrap up at the end🙂

Thank you!!
Bonnie at the zoo was the cutest thing!
Right?! Love her so much!
Love love love the Cotswolds! Went quite a few years ago and spent time in Stow On The Wold and Bourton On The Water and they’re such proper little English towns they’re beautiful. There was a shop in Stow called Shelley’s and I was so chuffed 😂
Glad to see you’ve had a wonderful time, it’s so lovely Bonnie is such a good girl and you can take her everywhere with you!
Looking forward to your videos this year. AND DISNEY 🤫
Much love xx
Good choices, they seem to be popular and were so pretty! Aww thank you, yes she is such a good girl, we are so lucky!
Thank you! YES! Bring it ON! Much love back Shelley! Thanks for watching xx
I like that there was lots of pubs in this vlog! 🙌🙌
My favourite place to eat in the Cotswolds is Daylesford farm and it’s dog friendly , I take haggis with me ( my west highland white it is a little pricey but worth any penny ) stow on the wolds is fabulous for shopping ! Great vlog ! My sister lives on the edge of the Cotswolds
Welcome to my neck of the woods.
Cotswold wildlife park is stuffed full of memories for me, in the summer it’s amazing. We use to go last day of summer every year growing up! Looked like you had a fantastic Christmas!
When you mentioned in a past vlog you and Benji were traveling to the Cotswolds, I was ecstatic!! Its probably the most beautiful place in all the UK in my opinion ❤️
Beautiful vlog Brogan! Nothing better than a English cottage 🌹 Happy 2022!! 👍😊
It really is! Thanks Sam! Happy 2022! xx
gorgeous vlog! my favourites to watch when im all cosy in bed. so close to home and iv'e been to that wildlife park in the summer and it was brilliant. I love a good zoo.
Thank you Charlotte! It's such a great place xx
Those towns you visited were so cuuute! Loved the vlog!
SO CUTE!! Thanks lovely xx
Happy New Year what a lovely vlog looked like you all had a lovely time the cottage looked so cute nice to see you back have a good week ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊 xx
Loved the Zoo section, so cute and in my opinion pretty fitting that it was the only pin you got! Such a lovely day to remember of the 3 of you ❤️
Thank you, I agree!! xx
Still watching but loving this vlog. We live near the Cotswolds so have visited many times over the years. I love Stow and Bourton. There’s a great leader in Bourton if you go back in the summer. We also had a cost Christmas cottage for the week this year but in Wales. It was lovely but drizzly and wet. But it was great to just chill and play games watching lovely films.
Sounds great!
Supposed to say maze not leader! Stupid auto correct!!
Another incredible travel video, Brogan! You do these so well. Content, editing and length are all perfect. Hope to see more like this in 2022 :)
Thank you so much!!
Lovely vlog, perfect holiday. I’m 4 days into a diet, not ideal watching you eat all of that tasty food!
Thank you Jill, oh no haha! x
Your doggy Bonny is beautiful
Finally got the chance to watch this and I absolutely loved it. Probably one of my favourite vlogs of yours. You are such a lovely little family. Definitely need to visit the Cotswolds. Enjoy the rest of your week xx Emma xx
Aww thank you so much Emma!! xx
Loved the new intro!!!! Benji is the funniest and then Bonnie is the calmest, sweetest little dog. You’ve got yourself a good family Brogan ♥️
Thank you Lauren!! xx
Hi Brogan , I was so looking forward to this , I am originally from the Cotswolds , Cirencester to be exact! I absolutely love the Cotswold wildlife park! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas x
Thank you! Ooh, what a beautiful place to grow up! x
Happy new year🎉🎉 loved this vlog☺️
Happy new year!! thanks lucy xx
We just came back from there and took dogs in the shop Other people had dogs there too Only place we couldn’t take them in was restaurant. Love Cotswolds 😊
It took me a few days to get to this, but it was worth the wait! What a LOVELY holiday!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!!! 😍😍😍 Your cottage is beautiful!!! It looks so cozy!!! It's too bad about all the rain, but you made the best of it! It was JUST ADORABLE seeing Bonnie looking at all the animals at the zoo!!! 😊😊😊 Seeing all the delicious food makes me hungry!!! It was Christmas though, so calories don't count!!! 😁😁😁 Continued love and health to you, Benji, and Bonnie from across the pond!!! 💜💜💜
Happy New Year!
My family live down that way. It’s stunning down there. I recognised the zoo and bourton on the water as I’ve recently been there. ❤️
Happy new year! Awww lovely! xx
This was such a lovely video Love all your very videos merry Christmas and a happy new year xx
Thank you Sophia! xx
Bouton-On-The-Water brings back so many childhood memories for me. I always go there in the Summer. They used to have a car museum there and you could see Brum!
Such a lovely place!
This cosy vlog did not disappoint
Benji’s comment about the old clubbing pictures…hilarious 😂 Loved the new intro style Brogan 👍 upping the game - nice work 😍
Thank you lovely!! hahah! xx
My home ❤ I love living around here! Winter time is my favourite time of the year, especially with snow. I’m watching this in the summer, bit odd 😂
What a lovely, chilled video!
Benji never fails to make me laugh 😆 the pig clubbing photos comment 🤣
He's so funny haha 🤣
This was such a lovely video I had on whilst I was working! Also loved the intro! xx
Thank you so much!! xx
Love the fact Benji is playing Football Manager on Christmas Day 😂😂😂 Lovely vlog and all the best in 2022
Of course, whatever makes him happy hahah! Thanks Kyle! X
Ooh I love your new banner looks fab, enjoyed the vlog so much, so cosy ❤️
You're the first and only person to have commented/spotted it, thank you!! xx
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I love your Cotswolds' week last year. Very nice to watch!
Oh my word I am loving this vlog so much😃 you went to all the places we visit on a regular basis as we live near Brize Norton and we go to Burford and the Starbucks there all the time 😃 Cotswold Wildlife Park is fantastic - it would have been amazing to bump into you all 😃❤️ so glad you had such an amazing time in this part of the world. Christmas was so yuck weather wise, it’s definitely worth back during the summer although as you can imagine everywhere is packed then 😃 such a fantastic vlog - thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Thank you Joanne!! xx
This made me miss English pubs so much haha glad you had a lovely Christmas
Can't beat a pub!
Lovely Vlog Brogan! Really hope you to get to Florida 🤞🏻☺️
Thank you Debbie, me too xx
Love the scarf and the stripey top you were wearing in the car too
Thanks lovely! xx
Great video .... my mum lives in moreton in marsh which is just up from stow in the wold so was so excited to recognise places on your travels that cottage was so cute and bonnie at the animal park was so cute. Hope you had a fantastic chrismas and new year and looking forward to following all your 2022 adventures xxxxx
Aww lovely!! Thank you Natalie! xx
Just brought the one shopper bag? Lol did laugh at that. I then had visions of all your other shopper bags sitting at home lol
Right?! Hahah, someone call an intervention 😆
Great flog. Love Bourton on the Water. Just been watching Pam Ayers touring the Cotswolds- really interesting. Haha it’s taken Benji 5 years to tell you he was in the school scrabble club 🤣
Lovely vlog we went away at christmas too was the first time lovely spot but wouldn't do Christmas away with two kids again the car didn't have an inch of space. Thanks for the vlog. If you want recommendation for two player games can happily list some for you we are big game board players and play most two players but have a large selection of different types. Lovely Christmas memories made for you both and just lovely to see your Christmas x
Really enjoyed this travel vlog. The intro was great Brogan; very professional. Being from the 🇺🇸, I really enjoyed seeing the Cotswold. Looks like Benji and you had a lovely relaxing trip. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!
Thanks so much! 😊 Happy New Year Jenn! xx
"Picky bits" - so there *is* a name for that random stuff you only eat at Xmas!
You'd like the Peak District - walking, pubs, little towns, caves, castles, and the huge Chatsworth estate.
My mum named it that when I was a kid, I love it haha. YES! It's on our list, bit of a drive for us so hopefully going to upgrade the car and go on more staycations in 2022! xx
Just discovered your channel. The house in the Cotswold liked really lovely. I was looking for a cottage in the Cotswolds. Some lovely little shops around as well. Was absolutely beautiful. Your dog is gorgeous. Love that breed x
It's a beautiful cottage. It's massive. I had some lovely weeks at a special needs music school nd Cheltenham with the Salvation Army. Lots of days out in the Cotswolds.😀
I’d love to do something like this! But being visually impaired both me and my partner can’t drive. So we probably wouldn’t be able to. But I looked like you had an amazing time and the food looked amazing! Bonnie was so well behaved to bless her! I know my Blossom would love her! 🙂
I Love M&S Christmas meals. I usually work nights over Christmas (joys of being a staff nurse!)!so get loads of bit & bobs from M&S and either cook myself Christmas Eve or Boxing Day meal… fully approve… it looks divine. Your vlogs make me So hungry Brogan, I should learn to watch them earlier in the day and not before I retire for the night! Lol 😂
Seeing benji walk around in shorts absolutely kills my Australian self 🥶
Hahah, he wears them all year round, he's definitely more suited to be in Australia!
Loved loved loved reminded me of the holiday, Bonny is so well behaved I have a westie called Bonny and e we could not have took her to a zoo she isn’t naughty just very keen lol , loved this happy new year to you and benji and bonnie
Thank you, she's SO good, we are so lucky x
Omg IMAGINE that house in April/May with all the wisteria out 😱😱😱
Right?! Beautiful! xx
I fed tapir and capybara as an experience at the Cotswolds wildlife park.
My son in law would definitely agree with Benji about the pie, he says if it hasn’t got sides and a bottom its not a pie its a stew with a lid 🤣🤣
Hahaha, they're not wrong to be honest! x
This is so strange to see! I live very locally- infact i can see you drove past my house! Weird seeing it all on camera. Glad you guys had fun around here xd
no way! hahah! x
Omg I work at Daylesford, can’t believe I missed you 🤍
Next time!
Wow looks amazing hope you have a lovely 🎄 and new year with your boyfriend
Thank you Jessica!! xx
this was such a cosy and comforting vlog!
i am planning my first tip to the cotswolds for my 23rd birthday and i cannot wait it looks beautiful!
i am especially more excited now that i have watched this video. New subscriber here!❤️
Thank you! Big warm welcome, thanks for subscribing!! xx
I definitely thought you were speaking to Benji when you said nice buns 😂😂 What a wonderful Xmas break that must have been, the Cotswolds are gorgeous. Also that’s the exact harness I have for my border collie, it’s his second one, it’s excellent quality x
Hahahah!! Thank you so much!! x
Omg! I agree with Benji about the pie. It's just a pastry lid! Fake pies 😂
Fake pies are a no-go for him, hahah x
So benji is one of those who always wears shorts?! How 😱 I’m such a cold bird. Lovely vlog brogan x
Yup!! He loves his shorts hahah. Thank you! x
🥰
Thank you xx
