@courtneyadamo
In 2015, Courtney Adamo and her family left a busy London life behind and travelled the world homeschooling the kids while they saw Peru, Brazil, Chile, New Zealand, Japan, Sri Lanka, Italy, the US, and Byron Bay. Soon after their return to the UK, they made the decision to relocate to Bangalow permanently, its laidback lifestyle full of country walks and coastal surfs too good to resist. They haven't looked back since, and have turned a 120-year-old house into the modern country home of our dreams.

Lifestyle blogger Paula Sutton is unparalleled in the popular sub-genre of English countryside eye candy.

Reassuringly, Paula dedication to the cottagecore aesthetic is authentic. "People always ask if I have gardeners or cleaners, but it's me scrubbing my floors and ironing all the clothes, and picking up all the dog mess," she told the New York Times earlier this year. "The only bit of me that is glamour is the snapshot I take because I enjoy creating an image—for myself and for other people."
