How pretty

Carole Sutcliffes , 27 Jul 2010

I would love to win something like this. For me it would be an absolute dream to live in a thatched cottage. But where is it located?

@ Carole, Ashlie,

Good point! Unfortunately, the website only mentions the cottage is "situated in a beautiful country village"...

I agree that's pretty vague! I've written to the Daily Mail to ask for more details and will let you know what I find out.

Update (July 28) - Unfortunately, their response didn't add much about the location: "Any further details of the prize will appear in the paper or on the main Daily Mail website."

I guess you'll have to regularly check their paper for more details...

Update (July 30) - A big thanks to Carole for her brilliant detective work! Check out the blog for details of where the cottage could be located...
