Escape to the Country

One of our favourite shows to watch while eating lunch. The hosts are all so gracious and the buyers are so polite, so British, lovely.

We live in Canada and watching this program, we have learned so much about the British Counties that we definitely want to vacation in some of them.

Although we like all the hosts, Alistair, Jules, Nicki and Sonali are our favourites . They have incredible charm and character.

Comparing that to the USA homebuyer shows which often show extremely bad mannered people.

The only thing I would love to see is a follow up to see what people ended up buying and getting a brief update.

Have watched this show for many, many years as I enjoy seeing properties and areas in various parts of the country. But like every other property show on TV the presenters insist on saying, 'this is the dining room SPACE' or 'this is the kitchen SPACE' or ' this is a lovely SPACE' instead of saying room, it drives me mad, why do they have to use this poncy overused word every 5 minutes. I assume the presenters are told to say this as it's considered trendy and arty. But it makes me switch off as it gets on my nerves so much. It has spoilt one of my favourite programmes, but they are not alone as it seems to be the property show disease! Get a new word or stop using it altogether as it's getting really boring and aggravating.

This series is easily my favourite of all the home/ house series shows and watch it when ever possible.bi automatically dream of having the opportunity to be in a position to buy in areas in a house they show on each show, such beautiful country sides. Highly recommended to anyone loving the English country side...

Really like the programme however I feel that the presenter and also the views should have more respect for the properties and their owners. They are all walking into the property with outdoor boots and shoes which could possibly be wet, dirty and muddy, why do they not remove their shoes. Surely it's the right thing to do.?

It's amusing to see how the Brits live. 99% of all showers are curved units vs what we have in the US and almost no alcove tub/shower combos. 99% of tiles in the kitchens are 4x4. Toilets are usually old fashioned and 99%of bathrooms also don't have vanities/cupboards! Not many built in closets, even in houses built in the 21st century!

The gardens are why i watch as the houses are mostly not for me. Oh the gardens...how wonderfully lucky Brits are to have rain and old walls and a national passion for growing. Where I live, few ppl garden, lawns r about it.
