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
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 🇬🇧
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
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 £50 a room (£75 for a 4 person bunk room) what's not to love? … Continue reading Mollie’s Motel & Diner, Oxfordshire
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 🇬🇧
Well, it's been a while since I did a food post so I thought it should be a good one! I don't think it's much of a secret that Heston Blumenthal's "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental near Hyde Park is pretty good but I thought I'd share my experience anyway. This was the third time I've … Continue reading Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London
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
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 🇬🇧
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 🇬🇧
