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 youβre staying in the village: Itβs a typical Cotswolds village with lots of sweet … Continue reading Tetbury Wanderings, Glos π¬π§

Barnsley House, Glos π¬π§
Well, itβs been a while. I had somewhat of a long hiatus from social media in the Summer and as a result I have a lot of catching-up to do, so I apologise if my posts seem a bit out of sync with the seasons. Barnsley House has been on my list of places to … Continue reading Barnsley House, Glos π¬π§
Cottage Inspo, Peak District π¬π§
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 (Iβll do a separate post on the area itself.) I am constantly looking … Continue reading Cottage Inspo, Peak District π¬π§
Bibury, Gloucestershire π¬π§
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 π¬π§
Devon Summer 2020
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 Garden at The Newt, Somerset π¬π§
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 π¬π§
The Newt, Somerset π¬π§
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 π¬π§
A Return to The Ned, London
I loved The Ned so much when I first visited (shortly after it first opened), I knew I would return. It's the perfect place to catch-up with friends and there's so much to do you can easily while away a weekend without leaving. I didn't take many photos this time, as I was busy making … Continue reading A Return to The Ned, London
Mollie’s Motel & Diner, Oxfordshire
It's about time someone revived the roadside cafe in the UK but I never would have thought it would be done by Soho House.Transforming an old service station into an American diner and Motel is such a fun concept and at Β£50 a room (Β£75 for a 4 person bunk room) what's not to love? … Continue reading Mollie’s Motel & Diner, Oxfordshire
Dean Street Townhouse, London π¬π§
Like Kettner's, Dean Street Townhouse is another Soho House hotel in the heart of Soho. However there is no harking back to another era here (see my post on Kettner's here) and things are a lot quieter and perhaps more discreet, starting with the entrance which is so unobtrusive I must have walked past it … Continue reading Dean Street Townhouse, London π¬π§
