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
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 🇫🇷
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 🇬🇧
Our final destination in Portugal was the Algarve. I have to admit this area of Portugal was not the highest on my 'to visit' list but my Hubby loves the sea so we thought we'd give it a go. It took us an age to find and book a hotel in the Algarve as practically … Continue reading Boutique chic in the Algarve
The second place we stayed in Portugal was a few hours drive North of Lisbon and about half an hour's drive from the University town of Coimbra. We arrived quite late in the day having attempted and sadly failed to go and see the fairytale palace at Sintra. Visiting Sintra had been at the top … Continue reading Villa Pedra, Portugal
I have so many photos from Portugal I didn't know where to start! I suppose the logical thing is to begin with where we stayed first. We chose to stay at Casa Amora in Lisbon because there were rave reviews about it's breakfasts! Who doesn't love a hotel breakfast right?! As you can probably tell, we … Continue reading Casa Amora, Lisbon
I'm not going to lie, I did have mixed feelings when I first arrived for a stay at White City House in West London (although do read on!). I'm all for discreet entrances up to a point, but got thoroughly confused when I arrived as to where Reception was. (I didn't realise before, that Television Centre … Continue reading White City House, London
Whilst we were in Mallorca we took a drive to the North of the island to visit the villages of Deia and Valldemossa. Deia is quite small, in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains and dropping down to the sea. There is not much to do here but appreciate the beautiful scenery whilst taking a … Continue reading Deia & Valldemossa, Mallorca
I have recently been to the beautiful Lucknam Park Hotel for a lovely spa day and dinner with friends & realised that despite it being one of my favourite places to visit - I've never written a blog post about it! So here it is.... The first thing I love about Lucknam is its sweeping tree-lined … Continue reading Lucknam Park, Wiltshire 🇬🇧
Being a Soho House fan (incase you haven't noticed), I got very excited at this new venture. Like me, Nick Jones seems to be somewhat of a 1920's/vintage fan so I knew this little Georgian gem in London's Soho would be special. Sure enough as you step through these doors, it is as if you … Continue reading Kettner’s Townhouse, London 🇬🇧
