Tetbury Wanderings, Glos ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

November 6, 2021November 6, 2021Leave a comment

Whilst I was staying at Barnsley House, I took the opportunity to walk around the beautiful village of Barnsley and visit the town of Tetbury and the incredible gardens at Highgrove. Barnsley is really sweet and definitely worth a wander if you’re staying in the village: It’s a typical Cotswolds village with lots of sweet … Continue reading Tetbury Wanderings, Glos ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

Cottage Inspo, Peak District ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

May 22, 2021November 6, 2021Leave a comment

Our first staycation of the year was to the Peak District; somewhere in the U.K. we had never been before and somewhere we will definitely return to. We stayed in the idyllic village of Baslow, a short walk away from Chatsworth House (I’ll do a separate post on the area itself.) I am constantly looking … Continue reading Cottage Inspo, Peak District ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

Sezincote House and Gardens ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

April 5, 2021November 6, 2021Leave a comment

Due to the pandemic we have not left the U.K. for over a year now. This has been tough as we, like so many other people, love to travel. When we stayed in the Cotswolds last year we visited the magical house and gardens of Sezincote. It is understandably known as ‘India in the Cotswolds’ … Continue reading Sezincote House and Gardens ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

Bibury Farm Barns ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

September 25, 2020November 6, 2021Leave a comment

Having made the decision to not travel abroad this year, like many people we had to do a quick u-turn and book a staycation. We really couldn’t have done better than the Old Hay Barn at Bibury Farm Barns. This is one of 5 beautifully restored self-catering barns on a working farm a short walk … Continue reading Bibury Farm Barns ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

A Return to Oxford

May 3, 2020May 3, 2020Leave a comment

Just before lockdown, I returned to Oxford with some great friends and retraced my steps from my last visit; seeing it through different eyes. It’s a trip I think back on a lot since we’ve been confined to our homes; it was a wonderful weekend filled with a great deal of fun and laughter. We … Continue reading A Return to Oxford

Beautiful Bordeaux 🇫🇷

January 26, 2020January 26, 2020Leave a comment

The minute I arrived in Bordeaux, I fell in love. It's so beautiful; a wonderful mix of old and new, small enough to walk to most places, it feels safe and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming. We were only here for a few days and stayed at the Hotel Particulier: The hotel had mixed reviews … Continue reading Beautiful Bordeaux 🇫🇷

The Marqueyssac Gardens, Dordogne

November 28, 20192 Comments

The first thing we did when we drove from the Lot-et-Garonne into the Dordogne was to stop (for quite a few hours) at the most magical garden; the Marqueyssac Gardens in Vezac, just south of Sarlat. I knew from having seen photos, that it was going to be  special but wow, it is such a … Continue reading The Marqueyssac Gardens, Dordogne

The Lot-et-Garonne 🇫🇷

October 19, 2019November 28, 20192 Comments

There's actually something rather comforting going through Summer photos whilst you're in the midst of a rainy Autumn. Our Summer holiday this year was a 3-centre mix  consisting of the Lot-et-Garonne, the Dordogne and Bordeaux. It was basically a huge French love-in that completely blew me away, so if you're beginning to think about your holidays … Continue reading The Lot-et-Garonne 🇫🇷

The Garden at The Newt, Somerset ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

September 21, 2019September 21, 2019Leave a comment

Staying at the Newt hotel (more pics on my previous post) allows you access to this wonderful garden out-of-hours, however if you can't stay, it's worth a visit in its own right. I'm not a keen gardener but here there is something for everyone; a cider press, shop, bakery, butcher and cafe are all on site. … Continue reading The Garden at The Newt, Somerset ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

The Newt, Somerset ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§

September 13, 2019September 13, 2019Leave a comment

Before I launch into all my Autumn fashion and French holiday spam, I thought I better share my most recent stay at The Newt seeing as it's a new opening and quite a few of you have been asking to see more. Of course, being a complete boutique hotel freak, this hotel has been on … Continue reading The Newt, Somerset ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§
