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
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 🇬🇧
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 🇬🇧
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

This boutique hotel is a short walk from the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum and a slightly longer but manageable … Continue reading Kensington Caper
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
If you are in Sri Lanka and thinking about heading South of Colombo, you will no doubt come across the UNESCO heritage site that is the 17th century city of Galle. Built by the Dutch in 1663 this fortified city is not only a cultural, historical centre but also home to hip hotels, great restaurants, cafes and independent boutiques. … Continue reading Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka will always have a special place in my heart - it's just one of those places that gets under your skin and fills you with warmth and an urge to return.There is so much to do and see; such a variety of landscapes, the most welcoming people, great food and if like me, … Continue reading Road to Paradise, Sri Lanka
