Thankfully we have had some amazing weather here in the U.K. already. Being a keen traveler though is tough at the moment. We’ve already had to cancel our Easter holiday and are now wondering if we’ll have our Summer holiday. I for one, am not used to spending so much time at home. There are … Continue reading Destination: home
The minute I arrived in Bordeaux, I fell in love. It's so beautiful; a wonderful mix of old and new, small enough to walk to most places, it feels safe and everyone seemed friendly and welcoming. We were only here for a few days and stayed at the Hotel Particulier: The hotel had mixed reviews … Continue reading Beautiful Bordeaux 🇫🇷
The first thing we did when we drove from the Lot-et-Garonne into the Dordogne was to stop (for quite a few hours) at the most magical garden; the Marqueyssac Gardens in Vezac, just south of Sarlat. I knew from having seen photos, that it was going to be special but wow, it is such a … Continue reading The Marqueyssac Gardens, Dordogne
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
As you may know, I am a mad accessories fan. They are such a fun and easy way to update your wardrobe and don't (always) have to break the bank. I still have a crazy obsession for earrings and so does the fashion world - we're talking abstract and fairly big. Judging from the Fall/Winter 2018 … Continue reading Accessories Update
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
Whilst we were staying in Catalonia we decided to visit the medieval quarter (the Barri Vell) of Girona. Famous for it's brightly painted houses overhanging the River Onyar, it is a city quite different to any other we've been to. We popped over one of the eleven bridges and arrived at the Basilica de Saint … Continue reading A Visit to Girona
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
The last leg of our Sri Lankan whirlwind tour was spent in Colombo at The Wallawwa. A mere 15 minutes from Colombo airport this is a great place to start or finish your stay. This is not however, your typical airport hotel. I did not hear or see a plane whilst I was there and this is … Continue reading The Wallawwa, Colombo
I have been extremely fortunate in my life to stay in some amazing places. Kahanda Kanda (KK) is one such place. This holiday really felt like a second honeymoon, partly because we were without the children but mostly because of the hotels we stayed in. KK is around 20 minutes drive from Galle in South Sri … Continue reading Kahanda Kanda, Sri Lanka
