Review: The Barrel Inn, Bretton – A Hidden Gem in the Peaks

We recently stopped by The Barrel Inn in Bretton, nestled high in the Peak District, and it was nothing short of outstanding. The setting alone is worth the visit — perched atop a hill with sweeping, panoramic views that stretch across the landscape. It’s the kind of place where the scenery makes the food taste […]
Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa – Hotel Review With Video

We recently stayed at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel and Spa, and it was a really enjoyable experience, with just a couple of small things to mention that could make it even better. The first thing to highlight positively is the location! What a spectacular setting! Room Our room was definitely another one of the highlights. We […]
Indian Streatery, Birmingham – Restaurant Review

We originally had plans to head to Dishoom, having had a great experience at the Manchester site and wanting something relatively relaxed and easy-going, but it was completely full – and so ending up at Indian Streatery turned out to be the best happy accident of our trip. Anyway, a quick detour and we landed […]
Ultramarinos, Mercado San Agustín, Granada

Ultramarinos, a small bar in the Mercado San Agustín in Granada, was an absolute gem. The mercado itself is part food market—featuring amazing fish, meat, cheese, vegetables, and other produce—and part tapas-bar-community, with numerous small outlets all serving specialties. Honestly, even if you don’t eat here it’s worth just going for a wander round to […]
El Laurel Café and Taberna, Granada, Andalucia

El Laurel Café and Taberna in Granada falls short, plain and simple. Spain is known for its exceptional food and particularly for its ingredients. This place stands in stark contrast to that reputation. The service, to be fair, was the one redeeming aspect. Our waitress, the only staff member that seemed to be working on […]
Review: Fenix Greek Restaurant, Amazing Aesthetic in Manchester

Really fantastic setting and service (Chelsey was our main contact and was awesome) with food to complement, from the guys behind Tattu (which is also worth a visit), writes Elliot. First things first and to get it out of the way, I’ve had better food. If you’re absolutely looking for Michelin Star food, go and […]
A Comprehensive Review of Lagoon Attitude Hotel, Mauritius

Located on the edge of the Anse la Raie lagoon on Mauritius’ north coast, Lagoon Attitude is an eco-conscious resort offering a tranquil escape with a good amount of luxury and a great staff team. It’s about an hour from the airport. From its sustainability efforts to its idyllic beachfront location, this hotel, for us, […]
Review: The Lime Tree, Bollington

We recently visited The Lime Tree in Bollington, a small village on the Cheshire side of the Peak District, having been for a walk around White Nancy, a local hill! They offered a £35 three-course menu which provided excellent value for the standard of food on offer. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with […]
Zadar: A Perfect Blend of History, Wine and Culture

Zadar, located on Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coast, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s where ancient ruins, Roman architecture, and contemporary art converge, and the lively local scene blends seamlessly with its historical charm. Our three-night stay in this captivating city (though effectively just two full days, thanks to our late-night arrival) […]
Restaurant Review: Maison Bagarre, Nantes

Located at 6 Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau in the heart of Nantes, Maison Bagarre offers an enjoyable mix of relaxed sophistication and modern design. We stayed just round the corner at Maisons du Monde Hôtel & Suites. We were seated upstairs in a mezzanine area, which had a bright and airy atmosphere, with sleek, contemporary […]
Bar Postiguillo Tapas, Seville: A Hidden Gem for Tapas Lovers

If you’re in Seville and looking for a laid-back, authentic tapas experience, Bar Postiguillo Tapas is a must-visit. Nestled in the Arenal district, this unassuming gem has everything you want in a local eatery—rustic charm, mouthwatering dishes, and a great selection of drinks, all served up with a side of Andalusian warmth. We stumbled upon […]
Restaurant La Marquière: Carcassonne

If you’re in Carcassonne and looking for a place to celebrate, or just for somewhere really good to eat, Restaurant La Marquière is the place to be. We had the pleasure of celebrating New Year’s Eve here, and it’s fair to say: it was a night to remember! Situated on Rue Saint-Jean, La Marquière combines […]
Cheese and Friends: Nantes

We had a wonderful experience at Cheese and Friends in Nantes this July! As a couple, we were looking for a cozy, casual spot to enjoy some local cheese and a good bottle of wine – and this place absolutely delivered. The local cheese board was a highlight, featuring a delightful selection that truly showcased […]
