Only one more week till Christmas so time for a bit of escapism at gorgeous Chatsworth
in the Peak District. We hope the beautiful Christmas displays at this glorious English
country house will get you into the festive spirit. I know we can't wait to celebrate
Christmas, just get cosy, read a nice book and be surrounded by the people we love. Good
morning! This is the view from our hotel bedroom and there are sheep around the corner. And
here are our friends. Good morning!
Good morning! Good morning! We're heading to breakfast soon. We got a very late spot.
Yeah. I think that was because we booked the room so late. And yeah, the good thing is
this is just a five minute drive to Chatsworth - yeah - so that's good. And yeah, the weather,
it's quite dark so we're not sure. It might rain but I think we spent a lot of time in
the house - yeah - so it should be all right. Yeah, we'll take our time in the house today.
Definitely yes. To show all the details. Yes. So behind us is the Cavendish Hotel. Maybe
we can film a little bit for you in case you're interested and want to stay here yourself.
Yeah? Yeah. So what do you think? How did you like the place? I think it's really - it's
nice. Service is good so it's really nice. Yes. I - I can recommend it. Yes, me too.
A very late breakfast. We waited so long. It's almost lunch time. Yeah. Jörg. And what
are we having? Vegetarian breakfast. You should film it Jörg.
Vegetarian breakfast and mine is vegetarian as well but gluten free with gluten free toast.
We are now at Chatsworth House and can't wait to go inside - yeah - to see the Christmas
displays which has the theme 20 years of magical Christmas here. Hmm, let's see. So yeah, it
seems to be quite busy so - yeah but to me not as much as the last time we were here.
You think? Yes. Well, we'll see. Fingers crossed that we can - yeah - film. All will be good.
Yeah. So let's go inside and - have some fun - and experience a magical Christmas. Yeah.
So this is very very beautiful but incredibly busy so it's nothing compared to Castle Howard
so we will see.
I was going to say: 'Look at the glorious sunshine .' Yeah, we've got English weather.
There isn't any sunshine. It's drizzling in a - yeah - bad way. Yeah but it's fine. You
have to be positive. Yeah, it could be worse. Exactly. And what did you think about the
Christmas displays? It's nice but not as overwhelming as Castle Howard. Yeah. We have to say Castle
Howard - yeah - really, it gave us goosebumps. Yes but Castle Howard was a story and there
was something behind it. We think like when we came here three years ago we absolutely
loved it. Yes. And today was nice but you said you had the feeling that it wasn't as
spectacular. Yeah, it looked like a low budget Christmas exhibition. We don't know maybe
that's a bad thing to say. It's beautiful nonetheless. Yes. I think what spoils it a
little bit is just the amount of people. Yes. So many people and yeah that makes it a little
bit difficult. But still it's nice - no, yes- it's a beautiful house. And it's still worth
a visit. Definitely. The house, everything. Yeah. It's very lovely so if you ever here
in this area you should come especially because this is Pemberley. Yeah. The Pride & Prejudice
film adaptation of 2005 with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen - yeah - who we saw
about two months ago. Yeah. In the Cotswolds. It was yeah. He didn't look like mr Darcy
though. No.
Pemberley. Yeah. I think we need to rewatch it. It's quite nice. Yes, we need to. Just
because of the filming location. It's not our favourite adaptation - but it's nice.
It's lovely. Yeah. Yes, we need to rewatch it. Yeah. Perfect now during the festive season.
Hmm. It's a very fine house - yeah - especially in summertime I think. And it's very old.
Jörg, have we ever been here in summer? Yes. No. No. No, never. But um, I remember that's
also about three years ago we came to, it was a fashion exhibition? Yes, yes a fashion
exhibition. But I don't remember the name. Me me neither.
But what I remember is that it was amazing. Yeah, the setting was very nice. They just
displayed the house very well. Yes, yes. Yeah. Well, it's definitely one of the finest houses.
Yes and I think this one dates back to 1700 something. Yes. And what we also, you know
what we should mention is should you be in the area here in the Peak District, Haddon
Hall - yeah - is like very nearby and it's beautiful. Yeah. It's very different. Yeah,
it's an old Elizabethan, Tudor house. Yes. Yeah but it's very nice - it's and the garden
in the summertime it's just beautiful. It's absolutely stunning. It's a bit more like
- intimate - and natural. Yeah.
So this is lunch. It's called German Bratwurst. Yes. And well, I have one as well. I won't
have the roll but when you hear the price. So one was 7.50. Yes. 7.50. So 15 pounds for
two. Yeah. We could buy the whole stand in Germany. Yeah, at a German Christmas market
we could get three of them. In in Germany not here. It's usually 3 Euros.
It's it's insane. I hope it's it's as good as the price. That's the English version with
Sauerkraut.
Yeah. We told the woman we were German and she said 'don't judge'. And we stayed a little
longer because there's an illuminated walk - yeah - and it sounded so pretty that we
just yeah, we need to check it out. Yeah, we want to see it. Yeah.
That was nice, wasn't it? Oh yes. It was worth waiting for. Yeah. Despite the rain. Yeah.
A real treat. Yeah. And although we couldn't stay at the Russian Cottage, it was it was
nice to see the Russian Cottage. Yes I enjoyed the two days. Yes, I really enjoyed exploring
the the villages. Yeah. That's really something you should put on your list. Yeah. I adore
Edensor. Yeah, it's nice. The houses are amazing. It's a very charming village. Yes, yes. And
we hope you like this video. And as always we hope to see you very soon. Yeah take care.
Take care and until next time. Bye bye. Bye. Bye.
