A Return to Oxford

May 3, 2020May 3, 2020Leave a comment

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

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‡§

A Return to The Ned, London

August 4, 2019August 4, 2019Leave a comment

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

Postcards from Oxford πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

March 17, 2019March 17, 2019Leave a comment

When we stayed at Mollie's Motel we decided to pay a flying-visit to the beautiful University city of Oxford.We were there on a Sunday which was probably not a bad day to go (particularly by car) as the traffic was not horrendous and we managed to park relatively cheaply off one of the side streets. … Continue reading Postcards from Oxford πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Mollie’s Motel & Diner, Oxfordshire

February 24, 2019February 24, 2019Leave a comment

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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

December 9, 2018Leave a comment

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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Dartmouth, Devon πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

August 14, 2018August 14, 2018Leave a comment

We recently came back from a gorgeous family trip to South Devon. After having done many a staycation in this area when the boys were small, I have to confess I wasn't overly keen on the idea but thankfully this time the sun shone and it was a lovely few days. Travelling down here can … Continue reading Dartmouth, Devon πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Packing for Devon, UK

July 28, 2018July 28, 2018Leave a comment

I was in two minds whether to write this post as this is the kind of staycation that calls for more practical clothing and if you know me or read my blog, you'll know that's not my style!Β If you're heading to the UK coast and have been before, you'll know the weather is somewhat unpredictable … Continue reading Packing for Devon, UK

Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London

July 9, 2018July 9, 2018Leave a comment

Well, it's been a while since I did a food post so I thought it should be a good one!Β 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
