I know there were Grans who liked this when I last mentioned it ,I'm posting to let them know its back/

This lovely wee property programme started its now series on the 4th .Three stunning and very different homes in the "highlands" were this weeks contenders and I'm pleased my favourite won.

I’m not sure about the winner. I did love it but I felt it was more like a museum than a home.

I love this programme and actually like the three presenters and their cast.It is a great format and some beautiful houses.I always prefer the more eclectic and less show home ones.Ones where time and ingenuity have been used rather than lots if money. However for me Rhu boat house would be my sort of home.The winning cottage was just too busy and full of 'stuff' .Although I could appreciate how much love and care had gone into it.

I love the presenters especially the banter between them. I’ve even been following Kate Spiers. I can’t remember which houses I liked the most, some of them were quite similar. I know I liked the Scandinavian inspired house. I didn’t like the house with the grass on….I found it claustrophobic and I kept imagining people banging their heads on the ceiling. The little tiny house was gorgeous but was never going to win as there was too little of it. If I have one criticism of the programme it’s that I can’t always get a feel for the layout of the house. I don’t like houses with mezzanines because I worry about small children vaulting over them and my mad whippet certainly would, but that is just a very personal opinion! I can only thank yet again the OP who told me about this series as it’s my go to programme these days.
