Cottage Inspo, Peak District πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Bibury, Gloucestershire πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

November 13, 2020November 6, 2021Leave a comment

One the of many wonderful things about staying at Bibury Farm Barns (see previous travel post for further details) was that you can walk to the beautiful village of Bibury. This is probably the most famous village in the Cotswolds as it is so quintessentially English; with honey-coloured Cotswold stone houses and a beautiful river … Continue reading Bibury, Gloucestershire πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Bibury Farm Barns πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Devon Summer 2020

August 23, 2020August 23, 20202 Comments

Travelling in 2020 is a bit different for everyone this year. We took the difficult decision to not to travel abroad considering this was how the pandemic spread in the first place. So Spain has been put on hold and we decided on Devon, in particular; Dartmouth, as we luckily have access to a holiday … Continue reading Devon Summer 2020

The Lot-et-Garonne πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

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 Β consisting of the Lot-et-Garonne,Β 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 πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

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

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; aΒ cider press, shop, bakery, butcher and cafe are all on site. … Continue reading The Garden at The Newt, Somerset πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

The Newt, Somerset πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Boutique chic in the Algarve

November 18, 2018November 18, 2018Leave a comment

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

Villa Pedra, Portugal

October 23, 20181 Comment

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

Deia & Valldemossa, Mallorca

May 11, 2018May 11, 2018Leave a comment

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
