Owner of tiny countryside B&B is a celebrity after anime comics and series based on her hotel

  • 5 years ago
The owner of a picture-postcard English B&B has become a celebrity in Japan - after her hotel was turned into a hit animated TV series.

Caron Cooper, 60, has even hosted the Japanese royal family after a chance meeting with a Japanese couple at a market stall in 1989.

The couple, Shozo and Yasuko Mitani, mentioned that they were opening a British-themed B&B in Japan, so Caron invited them to visit her farmhouse in Wiltshire.
