It's lovely and very kind of you showing us around. People can be so intrusive and lacking in thought. They should always think would they be OK with the same being asked of them?!
Exactly! x
Love your beautiful home...thanks for showing us. X
The problem is you are on their screen and they dont see you as “real” , so they are entitled to whatever access they want. They also think because they are “fans” they own you.
You have both done a absolutely amazing job.
What a beautiful house boys. Thank you so much for showing us around 😊❤
Thank you for the tour lads it looks lovely. I am now in a state of shock though. All that work stripping wood chip ( awful and such hard work) putting up lining paper,painting, titling , remodelling the bathroom, floors, putting in new heating and water systems, shopping choosing and putting together furniture for a whole house whilst.... Building a massive chicken home, a home for Sherlock, being dog dads, learning and producing all that honey and caring for Bees. Not to mention making fantastic videos every week and the radio stuff. In two years !!! My mind has exploded and I am going to lie down in a darkened room. You two are the best x
Haha! Welcome to our world 🤣
Your cottage is beautiful, thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure! 💜
The house is beautiful guy's, you should be very proud 👏
I personally think its very cozy with lovely personality. The Bee pillow was a nice touch! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
It is a lovely home, warm and stylish. Thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure 💜
Always great to see you two and loved your kindness in sharing your beautiful home… thank you. ❤
Our pleasure x
You guys have done an amazing job. Wood chip is a proper nightmare. Insulating is obviously important where you live. A great job I love it fantastic brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
You boys have great taste, well done it looks fabulous.
Thanks so much! 😊
Having random strangers walking through your door would feel so invasive! Ye gods! The Highlands of Scotland are definitely a winner! Your house is beautiful and you did a great job making it your own!
That's very kind of you. Thanks! 💜
Your home looks so cosy. i am really shocked on the boat story's of people just coming on board. I wouldn't dream of doing something like that.
Yup! Happened a lot 🤣
What a beautiful home you have after all your hard work. Best wishes to you both. ❤
Thank you so much!
Loved catching up,with you guys.Wow what a fantastic job,you have done,to your cottage.It looks lovely.,after all your hard work.
Thanks so much! 😊
The house looks terrific. You two have a knack for decorating, it’s a very classy look.
Thank you so much! ♥️
It’s your place no one else’s so it’s up to you what you do with it. You have done a amazing job x
Thank you! 👍🏻
Great job. Great taste 😊
Thank you!! 😊
I think you have done a great job the place looks lovely
Thank you! 😊
You gents deserve congratulations for the great rehab of the cottage and very tasteful decorating. It looks very very comfortable. Thanks for the professional videos and humor.
Our pleasure! x
Thankyou so much for the tour of your cottage and how you developed it. It’s very tastefully done, and makes a perfect home for you all. People can throw thousands of pounds at properties, and lack any sense of taste or of style. Your home achieves the taste and style throughout, and shows no signs of scrimping to achieve the finished effect. Brilliant!
Haha, knock a zero of that and it's closer to what we had 🤣
Just a wee hint re your wood burner. It will never go dirty if you only clean the glass when the stove is completely cold.
Dip a damp cloth into the ash of your stove. Not the gritty bits ,never use coal, that will ruin everything, just the pure ash.
It will remove any dirt with just a bit of elbow grease. We’ve had ours for 5-6 years and it still looks as good as new. Good luck.

VERY smart to keep your privacy and not show the exterior of the home. The interior is fantastic! If that was on a limited budget, well done!
Thank you so much ☺️
Guys did a fantastic job remodeling.
Cheers 👍❤️
What a lovely home you've made, guys. Gorgeous home for a gorgeous couple.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Bloody hell, people just walking into one's home would make me extremely angry. No bloody manners! At any rate, nice to see you've established yourself in a nice place. Onwards!
Definitely onwards 👍❤️
That's called STUCCO. What you guys call "wood chip wall paoer" is actually called STUCCO or POPCORN Ceiling in U.S.A..
It is a NIGHTMARE to get rid of. I'm happy you guy's were able to get rid of it.
Frankly. I'd let the two of you "have at 'er" and re-decorate my home any day. Your home is beautifully and very tastefully done. It's absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing this.
That's very kind of you. Thanks! 💜
Your home is beautiful - thank you for letting us see it.
You are so welcome!
Awwww guys your home is beautiful you did a brilliant job 😊😊😊😊😊 love it 😊😊❤❤

Ah, it wasn't a hard decision. We showed the inside of the boat enough times. Just wanted to wait a while. x

Love your home, beautifully decorated, a credit to the both of you
Very kind. Thank you! 💜
When my husband and I got married we bought our home straight away, which we still live in today. For our furniture my mum gave us a futon for a bed so we would have something to sleep on, plus I had a small television so we could watch the telly while sitting on the futon. We had a metal folding table (card table) for a table so we could eat our meals on and we bought 2 metal folding chairs so that we could have something to sit on while we ate. We absolutely had nothing in the house for months until eventually we started buying things for our lovely home. It was quite an adventure for us being newly married but as time grew on our house was complete. An till this day we love what we had built from nothing. Your home is lovely, perfect place in the Highlands to have a beautiful little cottage. Love it! 💗 Take care Shaun & Colin 💛
Thank you! 😍
Thank you for showing us around your beautiful stylish home 😊 love your honesty and humour and entertaining videos 😊
Thank you so much! 👍🏻
WOW! Gorgeous remodeling! So classy! Happy for you two.
Thanks so much!
I would NEVER have asked, but loved the tour 🙂 especially the pictures on your living room wall. It's the little things that count!
Thank you! ♥️ x
Thanks for the tour! It's a lovely place. It suits you. That's a great picture of Shaun and his dad.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a wonderful unexpected surprise. Thank you for sharing your space you two. It’s beautiful and what I’d imagined your style to be. Love your humour guys. Hugzzz
Our pleasure x
LOVE what you did two did with your house! It looks absolutely smashing. I can't imagine someone just walking into my home the way you described on Silver Fox. WTH are people thinking. Love the doggy kisses and the outtakes always make me chuckle. The delivery man sure got a surprise that day, lucky guy!
I can. There are people who are so self-involved that they see the rest of us as possessions. To them we Others are either chattel, servants and toys, or we are nothing at all.
It happened a lot! Still does up here in the far north 😂
Thank you for having us in. I remembered to remove my shoes so as to not muck up the floors. Your home, work done with your hands, well done. ❤
Thank you! Appreciated x
You’ve done soooooo much work and it’s definitely paid off. Your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey. I find it UNBELIEVABLE that some people have no boundaries thinking they can just pop into your space, your home, and think it’s ok 🤯. Have a wonderful weekend. 😁💗💗😁
Thank you! ♥️ x
Thank you for giving us a tour of your home - you've obviously worked hard, and it looks really lovely.😀

It took us 8 weeks to get the wood chip off our lounge ceiling years ago. Certainly wasn’t good for our necks. 😂
Horrible stuff! 🤣
For a couple of dudes, you two did a remarkable job decorating. I love everything you showed us!

Hi guys thank you for letting us see your house my goodness you have had a hard slog but it looks great so all the sweat and tears made it all worth while totally understandable why you don’t show outside some things are best left private but what you have done with the budget you had looks warm and inviting so well done

Thank you Boys for showing us around. That's very kind of you. It is beautiful, you've done a fantastic job. I'm off to the Highlands in a few week, Aviemore from London. Cannot wait. More excited now.
Have fun! x
It is a lovely croft and you have fabulous taste! I think you should go into interior design! I have the same tiles in my kitchen as you do....great minds and all that! I can't believe that people came onto your boat without asking! I'd be too shy! ❤❤
Ah, they did many a time. Still happens up here at the house! 😂
It looks very nice, very tasteful and cozy. Quite a bit of work but you have made it your own. Thank you so much for letting us have a peek.
Our pleasure! x
I am so pleased that you both decided to show us your house - and it is exactly how I imagined it. beautifully done with great skill and attention to detail. it looks just great. well done to both of you!
Very kind. Thank you! 💜
Ah thanks so much for the insight into your house, lots of work you did to modernise it tastefully and give it a good base for the future
Oh thank you!
You really do have an eye for the decorative touches. Lovely house guys!
Thank you so much! ♥️
Woodchip = paper of the devil! I remember stripping a ceiling and that was bad enough. You’ve made the most lovely home. Cosy, comfortable and stylish
Very kind. Thank you! 💜
Wow. Thanks for sharing that. How lovely and elegant!
Thank you! 😊
What a lovely home you have!
Thank you! ♥️ x
My late husband used to turn fire places to stoves..much as you did except he backed the stove with laid blue stone and the base was blue stone..this was his winter employment and summer he built stone patios, picnic tables, walkways and walls all of blue stone for artists, lawyers and doctors. He would have loved working and teaching you at the croft. He made some great friends while making a good living ..funny after he started doing that he no longer lifted weights at a gym..lol....
Your house is beautiful..great job..
Thank you! x

Thank you very much for the grand tour!!! It's beautiful! I've always been curious what the inside of a croft house looked like - curiosity satisfied! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just put a picture of a nice boat in for were you live. That way you stop the questions on your next boat, while others scour the land looking for your boat!😅I love what you've done inside it looks great.
Ah, they never stop. It's sad but funny now 🤣
Hi guys, I think you did a fantastic job. I love the kitchen and bathroom. I also like your choice of furniture in both bedrooms.
Very kind. Thank you! 💜
You have done very well to make the house habitable. I hope you manage to maintain your privacy.
