It's so lovely to see Americans who realise that England is far, far more than just London ❤️

Wow that is one quirky Air B&B! Looks like you are enjoying Coventry and now a 'regular' at the local too. Thank you as someone from the UK for doing these videos, I get to learn new things too about parts of my country that I have yet to visit and your upbeat presentation makes it the more enjoyable too.
-
Oh my goodness, your enthusiasm was infectious! I was grinning from ear to ear just watching as you relished the impressive (yet quirkily adorable) Air B&B. I'm so happy for you that you had the opportunity to stay in such a novel place. Even happier that you found a wee 'local' and that Carly had a routine when you were there! Such a joyful channel, this is. Thank you for the smiles! Hugs from Scotland x

That is such a cool place to stay. Coventry is a seriously underrated city. The new cathedral is pretty incredible.
-
We call them gate houses. They are beautiful. This green colour you keep seeing is bang on trend at the moment, we call it sage green. Have a lovely stay.

I visited Swanswell Gate a few years ago, before they refurbished it to turn it into an Airbnb. They were using it as a shed to store gardening tools, and it was full of dirt and spider webs. It's an amazing transformation, and fantastic that it's being used more productively.
-
Loved the Airbnb! What an excellent place to stay.
-
Those are the types of places I look for to film in 👻
-
You are having such an interesting time - Coventry looks really great, and that Air B & B is just the best! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. That tapestry is amazing, very beautiful. PS watch your step on those stairs, don't fall.
-
You are absolutely correct about the tapestry. The gate you are staying at is today known as 'Swanswell gate' but In medieval/Tudor times was indeed called priory gate. Because the land owned by the Benedictine priory (the first cathedral, which Henry Viii had destroyed) went all the way down to this area.
-
This looks amazing certainly something different staying in this accommodation. Coventry is a really nice place to visit and has a lot of history. I look forward to watching your next video 😊
-
I need to visit Coventry now... some super content - Happy travels
-
Oh i love this! how cool to be able to stay in this gatehouse, Coventry looks likes its changed from the last time i went too.
-
Highlight of this video eas definitely how excited the doggo was.
-
This place is amazing! Carlie loves it too. She is such a good traveler.
-
You are the happiest and most enthusiastic couple.
-
Anyone else think it's time Carly had her own channel? She wasn't given any opportunity to respond to the sleeping arrangement accusations in this vid. Outrageous :)
-
so glad you enjoyed yourselves...... big up cov👍
-
You can also stay in Priory row which is literally just at the back of Castle Grounds pub in the city centre. Also Coombe Abbey is a lovely place to stay
-
Great to see inside the city gate now it's been refurbished, as a local , the last time I went in was pre Covid and the interior just had the plans for the accommodation to look at. It looks great now it's completed.
