There's something about it
Our Holiday in Malta and Gozo – The Fortina Spa Resort and The Hotel Ta’CencTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - August 12, 2014July 20, 2015 We've been back from our holidays for over a week now but it seems like aeons ago that we were in sunny Malta and Gozo. I love holidays and I find the switch from work to relax-mode very easy. It's the other way around I struggle with. Sunday the sun is shining, you're lying, chilled as chilled can be, on a sunbed catching up on
A Weekend in ManchesterTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - March 13, 2014 I was going to just write about a recent weekend in Manchester here but I have to start by asking how many of you out there watch University Challenge? To be honest I have no idea why we watch it as it seems that its main purpose is to make me feel thick. It definitely makes me think about how much I've forgotten or think
A Luxury Weekend Break at The Langham HotelTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - June 4, 2013November 8, 2017 We went to London a couple of weekends back for a night at The Langham Hotel. One night wasn’t really enough but sadly it was all we could afford: as we were in London for Saturday and Sunday and it was a 5 Star Hotel, I think that still comes into the category of luxury weekend breaks though even if we only officially slept there

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
A Luxury Weekend Break in Stoke ParkTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - September 11, 2012July 27, 2017 We have just celebrated Mr. C's very 'special' birthday in true style at the majestic and truly magnificent Stoke Park.Stoke Park is a grand hotel in every respect and I don't think I could sing their prases enough to be honest.From the minute we pulled up at the door of the old Mansion until we checked out a couple of days later, we were relaxed
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
Ripa Hotel in RomeTravel, Holidays and Hotels by Mrs C - June 12, 2012One very excited 'not so young' lady here! Off to Rome on Thursday for a 'Big Birthday' and can't wait. We're staying at a hotel called the Ripa Hotel which is smack bang in the middle of everything in the historical Travestere area. It's near loads of bars, cafes & restaurants and is also only a cheap 20 minute direct train ride away from Fiumicino
