Travel review: the Catalan capital, Barcelona - city of Gaudi and Modernism
The bustling tree-lined pedestrianised promenade of the Rambla del Poblenou makes the perfect travel base for families and offers a chance to see a slice of the real Barcelona, away from the Plaça Catalunya tourist trap.
Travel review: Radisson Blu Edwardian, London
Just a few minutes from Canary Wharf, the Radisson Blu on the edge of the Thames is a great business hotel. But don’t stop reading! Please don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s a bit vanilla. In fact, if you book a room, you just might just bump into a superstar.
Travel review: The Golden Age of Travel on the British Pullman
When you climb aboard the British Pullman train as it rests by the platform in London Victoria, you take a step back into time to the era of steam engines, comfort and elegance.
Travel review: Gwel an Mor, Cornwall
When you need to get away from it all, what could be better than a luxury lodge set in the rolling countryside of England, the beach just minutes away from you?
Travel review: York
It was founded more than 2,000 years ago by the Romans, became the capital of the Vikings’ northern kingdom and was sacked by the Normans after mounting a failed rebellion.
Travel review: Amsterdam
Despite the brilliance of its signature 17th century canal-side architecture, Amsterdam is a city that thrives on modernity.
Travel review: The Olde House in Cornwall
Working in London, surrounded by high-rise buildings, constantly battling the crowds on the Underground and surrounded by noise wherever you go, can be a little exhausting.
Travel review: Winter Sports in Bansko, Bulgaria
I refuse to believe I’m the only one in this situation. Winter sports enthusiast of many years standing, who hasn’t ventured near a piste for ages due to girlfriend whose ideal holiday is more beaches than boarding.
Travel review: The Cary Arms, Babbacombe Bay, Torquay
If there is a more peaceful and calming way to fall asleep than listening to the waves lap against the shore, I have yet to find it.
Hotel review: Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence
Making assumptions is a dangerous game but doesn’t the concept of a women’s prison raise the spectre of Fenner (evil prison officer Jim, of the much missed TV drama Bad Girls) rather than Florence?
