Weekends away for us usually consist of a certain style of hotel – modern, sleek and bursting full of all the mod-cons that we wish we could have in our own home. Great… Continue reading
It’s funny how certain spaces give off certain vibes. As we entered the lobby via some revolving doors I was none the wiser. Even when I noticed one restaurant to our left and… Continue reading
Take a couple of testing weeks at work, mix in the stress and expense of preparing for my son’s first day at ‘big’ school. Then sprinkle on an injured knee (a long and… Continue reading
If you’re reading our posts in chronological order then you should have already seen our review on The Christchurch Harbour Hotel. If you haven’t you can always click here – although it’s by… Continue reading
Let me set the scene… It was the Friday before the Wimbledon finals and set to be the hottest weekend of the year. It seemed that everyone who had a car had decided… Continue reading
We’d already been in Los Angeles for three nights and had adjusted the hectic pace that a whistle-stop tour of West Hollywood and the surrounding area demands… Downtown and the fab Philippe The… Continue reading
January has come to an end, the ‘pay back’ month is over. New year resolutions of healthy living/eating have been washed away by torrential rain. So we thought we’d cheer ourselves up with… Continue reading
Last year, when Saff was invited along to review the newly refurbished Rib Room, I was gutted! Not only had the iconic Knightsbridge restaurant been given a makeover by designer Martin Brudnizki but… Continue reading
It had been one hell off a week, in fact it had been one hell of two weeks… So when we were given to opportunity to dine and stay a night at Tuddenham… Continue reading

When we first rolled into Old Amersham it all looked strangely similar as if we’d been here before, and I’m not talking in a spiritual past life kind of way… It’s just that… Continue reading

It’s been quite a while since we had a formal meal, especially a local one. Most of our latest reviews have been at the more ‘of the moment’ London restaurants, lots of small… Continue reading
Finally, Guildford has a new hotel that’s actually in the town centre, and isn’t a Holiday Inn. I lived in the town for 21 years and love it to death, I couldn’t wait… Continue reading
Totally ravenous after our spa time (see previous post) we headed upstairs in the K West hotel to Kanteen. A small, dark and pretty much empty room greeted us. On a mezzanine floor… Continue reading
I had been longing to visit this spa for about a year, and last week we finally made it down there. I always thought Shepherd’s Bush was 8 million mikes away, hence never… Continue reading
I’ve had my eye on this place for some time. I had been planning a secret birthday weekend for Ade’s 40th and needed somewhere to stay. The Fox & Anchor is a traditional… Continue reading
