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 🇬🇧
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 🇬🇧
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
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 🇬🇧
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

So here it is.... The first thing I love about Lucknam is its sweeping tree-lined … Continue reading Lucknam Park, Wiltshire 🇬🇧
This is the third time I've been to Rick Stein in Marlborough, so I thought I'd do a quick mini-post. Based in the small market town of Marlborough in Wiltshire it is not far from the prehistoric site of Avebury (also worth a visit). The restaurant is in a historic townhouse over two floors and in … Continue reading Rick Stein, Marlborough 🇬🇧
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 🇬🇧
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 🇬🇧
