I have been meaning to go to Whatley Manor for quite some time. Sitting just outside Malmesbury in the Cotswolds it's an ideal countryside retreat. Particularly well known for its food (the Dining Room has a Michelin star and is open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday),  we decided to go for Sunday lunch at the … Continue reading Whatley Manor, Wiltshire 🇬🇧
Just before the New Year I popped into the very unique No.15 Hotel on Bath's famous Great Pulteney Street for a quick spa day/facial. As a side note, if you're just here for a treatment do check out the rest of the hotel and all its quirky features. There really is nothing else like it … Continue reading No15 Great Pulteney Street, Bath 🇬🇧
A girls getaway is always a good plan and back to the South of France we went for a couple of nights of indulgence. Yes, I had been to the same area earlier in the year, but this time it was without kids in tow so it mostly involved relaxing and catching-up over great food and … Continue reading Luxury in the South of France 🇫🇷
Unsurprisingly, we loved Soho House Barcelona. Although we didn't stay (they don't have any family rooms) we popped in for a few hours every day whilst we were in Barcelona. (It's worth noting that you can only visit here if you're a Soho House member, with a member or are staying.) This really is such a … Continue reading Soho House Barcelona
Barcelona is such a great city to visit with its richness of culture and abundance of things to see and do.This was my second time in this diverse city and I still came away wanting more. Last time (sans children) we stayed at the beautiful Hotel Neri in the Gothic Quarter, which we visited again … Continue reading Beautiful Barcelona
I had never been North of Barcelona before and I was/still am stunned at how beautiful it is. The Costa Brava has had a bad reputation in the U.K. in the past so I was bowled over by it's richness in history, culture and natural beauty. We stayed just East of Girona in the stunning … Continue reading Catalonian Country Life
The medieval village of Eze is a must-see if you are visiting the Côte d'Azur and love historical buildings. Located between Nice and Monaco it is an absolute jewel overlooking the Mediterranean. Like most of the little villages on the French Riviera this is a tourist hotspot, so try and visit off-season or early morning/early … Continue reading Eze and Cap Ferrat
As soon as I heard about this collaboration between Soho House and the Sydell Group (owners of the Line and Nomad hotels in the States) I knew I had to stay here. Not only am I a massive fan of Soho House, I'm also a huge lover of all things Art Deco and this hotel is … Continue reading The Ned, London
I don't think it's much of a secret that one of my favourite places for a staycation is Babington House.The great thing about it is that it can be enjoyed as a family, a group of friends or as a couple. This time I stayed in the Lodge with my two boys. The Lodge is … Continue reading The Lodge @ Babington House
Helene Darroze's 2 Michelin Star restaurant at The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair has been on my 'to eat at' list for quite some time.So when I just happened to be in the area the other week I thought I'd try my luck at dropping in & seeing if they had a table. (As a side note … Continue reading Helene Darroze at The Connaught
