Premier Inn Brighton City CentreTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - January 8, 2013February 11, 2013 Back in December we had to go to Brighton just for a quick overnighter to take the various nephews and nieces their Xmas presents. We didn't want to spend a fortune on a hotel room as it's an expensive enough time of year anyway but equally didn't want to impose on an over-excited and very full household - so we opted for the Premier Inn

We were intending to fly but as they seemed to want us to pay an arm and two legs for each ticket, we decided to drive.

An Autumn Break at Martinhal ResortTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mr C - October 22, 2012January 28, 2016 We’ve just spent a lovely week right on the bottom left corner of mainland Europe. ‘Finisterra’ means ‘end of the world’ in the native Portuguese and when you look at the map of Martinhal’s location, that’s exactly where it seems to be (that’s South West for those with a sense of direction).

A Luxury Short Break at The Scarlet HotelTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - September 21, 2012September 21, 2012 I've known about The Scarlet Hotel for some time as it's right next to the sprawling but very lovely Bedruthan Steps Hotel & Spa in Mawgan Porth in Cornwall. When we were there last year, we said to each other that by hook or by crook we would endeavour to visit The Scarlet Hotel as it seemed so idyllic - and that was just from the

Off to Las Vegas in NovemberTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - August 28, 2012March 13, 2018 Yay! We managed to earn enough Virgin Flying Club Points to buy ourselves one free flight to Vegas! And with a bit of scrimping and saving and less impulse-buying in the supermarket, the other flight has been secured too - so Vegas, here we come! I can't wait!We've been to Las Vegas with Virgin Holidays before and stayed at The Venetian. We absolutely loved it
The Aegean Village in KosTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - August 7, 2012February 18, 2016 We had a lovely holiday in July at The Aegean Village in Kardamena in Kos. The place was absolutely immaculate and our rooms had fab views right over the complex, the beach and the sea beyond. We all had lovely big balconies too - a great bonus! The rooms were much more luxurious than your average 'resort' hotel rooms and were amongst the best we'd ever
