Kevin's Views

Kevin With Owner, Wales: The Isolated Cottage

'This is no-frills farmhouse architecture - timeless, practical, durable. It's no coincidence that the house looks medieval.'

...It's been rebuilt, plastered and finished using ancient building techniques and materials found on the site.'

'The house is all about community - it has been built with local materials using local expertise, and it gives Adrian and Corinna the chance to stay in the valley where their families have lived for generations.'

  1. I agree with the last comment. This was my favourite build I think and would love to know what it's like now and how the couple feel about their home now.

  2. I've just seen this episode on More4 and realised it was filmed nearly 8 years ago. Would love to see what the cottage is like now. Please revisit!

  4. Hi, I just saw this episode in Australia and just had to express my appreciation. I found this to be truly exciting and more to the point inspiring. Congratulations to owners for undertaking this project. Talk about simple is best.

  5. Kevin, You have such a great program that it is difficult to criticize. I just watched the Wales isolated cottage episode and , as usual, was gobsmacked by what people will do. What a lovely couple. However, could you come back to those unfinished projects and show us the final product of their endeavours - please.

  6. Hi I live in Australia and have never missed one programme. The most frustrating ones are the imcomplete houses - so annoying to watch all the build to be disappointed not seeing the final finished project. Will you ever have a programme going back to those houses so that we can see the end result? Cheers Sharon Brisbane Australia

  7. We loved watching this episode, especially for the wonderful Welsh scenery and wonder if you will be returning to the site when the house is completely finished, as we would be very interested in seeing the finished project. Also, do you intend ever making a program in the future to show all the projects that are not finished by the time Kevin and the crew have stopped filming? We love this show and are very disappointed when we don't see the finished project (as are a lot of our friends down here in Australia who let nothing get in their way of seeing the show). Thank you for making such a helpful, intelligent and entertaining reality show.

  9. Hi, we watched the programme on this isolated cottage in Wales with great interest and would so like to know whether they got it finished in the end? I remember they had a lot of problems with harsh winter weather, not to mentioned mad cow's disease I think it was. As it was such an honest building, I'm quite interested to know whether they got it finished. Thanks!
