conditioner than ones we have yeah they are in a really good condition i love them i love the shelf as well or built-in cupboard that's beautiful and the bedrooms are upstairs let's start this is a single bedroom which is lovely this is the single bedroom shelves this is a twin wonderful the bedrooms have such a great size and another perfect view wouldn't mind waking up to this view every

garden so here is a bathroom and here is another bathroom [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] good morning good morning so it's sunday morning and unfortunately the weather forecast says heavy rain later yeah but it's still dry yeah luckily it's still dry and we thought we would just come back and film this glorious garden yes yeah even in the morning it's wonderful it's just it's so romantic if you get the chance visit this place you will fall in love we promise you that yes okay well i'm i'm about to say goodbye everybody um but i wanted to give you sort of a one more tour of this space here so any questions you have yeah ask away so this is your cafe yeah so this is our multi-purpose building it's our cafe you can see all the tables so we're finally open to the public so we've set up all the tables but you can see the original stone wall and you can see the beams above and this is our 18th century um uh i actually do think it's yeah 18th century 1700s coach house so this is where the coaches used to be stored and then the block next door with the wisteria the lovely wisteria that is where the horses would be kept and you can see the horse mount the mounting there so when we could we converted this uh right before the pandemic we were like yay we converted it and we've made it into this event space and beautiful cafe and weddings are here and then the pandemic hit like we weren't even open for a whole season and the pandemic hit and so we were like what are we gonna do with this space so i'm gonna show you what we did during the pandemic so you probably know that i like yoga yoga is my everything guys this woman is amazing check her out she's amazing well you're very kind no my practice is crazy but i teach to all levels do you mean so like so during the pandemic when this was closed down and we were here you can see i have to i have to store i have to put these back in the house but here's a yoga mat so i was teaching live streaming yoga sometimes against this wall and what's interesting about this wall here i'm going to show you here is when we stripped back when we were converting this into this event space we strip back to the original walls you can see the date somebody put their initials tk 1798. so when they were constructing this he obviously carved in his initials tk 1798. yeah pretty incredible so again we tried to keep the beams the same uh most of them are original beings but yeah that's where i would do yoga there's my blacks over there and then sometimes i would do yoga here because if these are from an indian wedding they were made for us but that's shamianos are like hung at indian weddings and we have a friend from india and she made these for us and so we have hung them all around because weddings have well weddings used to happen here pretty pandemic but now they're coming back so weddings are just coming back but we're only uh six days in to opening up the cafe indoors and thank goodness because the weather yeah is terrible yeah it's terrible it's really british at the minute it's very very british but yeah it's um so yeah so it's just a beautiful space now and also i hold yoga retreats here yes so during when this is closed for the public um which are the months november december january and february then that's when i hold yoga retreats and i promise you it's super warm because of our biomass boiler so i hold yoga retreats and people stay in the house and then they stay in the garden cottage where you're at and then we have we meet here for yoga retreats and i'm having one luckily this year last year i had to cancel them and this year i have one booked so which is great it's really great and your channels you have two youtube channels so mapleton live which is it's amazing it's a wonderful channel can you yeah so mapperton live is the mapperton channel and we call it backstage at britain's finest manor house because in 2006 we won the award of being awarded britain's finest manor house and so it's really the behind the scenes of the leaks of the draining of the pool of repairs of the tapestries but also our rewilding projects um so we're rewilding part of the estate and then of course history of the house and history of the sandwich family and those historical sort of tours are done and done by my in-laws the url encounters a sandwich and then we have italian at gardens they're formal gardens and so lots of garden tours throughout the year as well and then my channel is my channel is has a little bit of yoga on there for all levels so anybody can do that but um and it has other things like travels like when i've gone to italy even during the pandemic but when we were allowed um and i traveled to scotland and i've traveled to around this area and just yeah and then hopefully in future we'll be doing on my channel all about other country estates so that's our big thing other country estates that that because i'll know the owners and they'll hopefully let
