186 hours in Dubrovnik

Travel

What can I say about Dubrovnik? It is gorgeous and it will always have a place in my heart of course, because we got engaged there but overall it is such a romantic city and there’s so much to see and do. Here are my top five things to do in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We stayed for a week because it was part summer holiday and part city break for us as we hadn’t had a ‘holiday’ for about 18 months due to buying our house but I would say that you could easily see everything Dubrovnik has to offer in around 3 to 4 days if you packed it all in!

Dubrovnik Food Diary

Food & Drink Travel

It’s definitely going to be true to say that we ate well during our trip to Dubrovnik. I wanted to share some of our favourites with you from easy lunches to incredible sushi and some harbour-side restaurants. There’s places to eat and drink across the whole price range but overall, Dubrovnik is quite an expensive city to eat out in. We had plenty of cost-effective lunches and snacks as we loved the evening vibe and wanted to spend more on our meals out for most of the evenings. Let’s get into it! Read More

5 Getaways for the Adventurous

Travel

When the majority of people think about holidays, they might think about heading away on a beach holiday. That’s what we’re doing this year but we always try and chuck in some fun activities and sports along the way. Thoughts of sun, sea and sand automatically spring to mind and we all look forward to kicking back and relaxing while topping up the tan. Beach hols are the be all and end all, I love a good city break and there’s always activities to do in resorts too.  There are plenty of alternative trips out there. Check out my 3 out of the box things to do in Crete for some previous fun we’ve had! If you’re a little more adventurous and feel you’d get a little bored sitting around doing next to nothing for a week or two, here are a few ideas that you might find more appealing! Read More

5 great places to eat and drink in York

Food & Drink Lifestyle Travel

Charcuterie and cheese board

There are hundreds of amazing places to eat in York city centre, from cute little teashops to fancy wine bars and loads of your favourite chains like Byron Burger and Nando’s but these are the five places that we really loved when we visited the Northern city recently.

1. Drift-In

One of the cutest cafes in York is Drift-In, a smoothie bar and coffee shop with incredible sandwiches that’s actually attached to Fat Face. The decor is really cool, full of surf boards and bikes with a proper beachy feel whilst still feeling like it really fits well into the windy streets of York. The staff were lovely and it’s a great place to chill out and grab some lunch on a busy weekend. Read More

Judges’ Court Hotel Review: York

Lifestyle Travel

Today’s post is a little feature and a review for the Judges’ Court Hotel in York – this stay wasn’t gifted, we paid for it ourselves but I always think it’s useful to read reviews of hotels in mini-break locations because I’m never sure about Tripadvisor if I’m honest (too many conflicting views!). I just like to add reviews into the mix and let you know whether I’d pay to stay there again. We headed to York to see James Acaster because we couldn’t get tickets in Nottingham where we live and so decided to just make it a long Bank Holiday weekend mini-break because we’d only been to York on a very cold afternoon once together and then years ago as kids separately so we wanted to explore it some more.

Eating my way around Soho; Kaffeine, The Detox Kitchen and Crumbs & Doilies

Food & Drink Lifestyle Travel

This was going to be one of my ’24 hours in’ posts just like I’ve done with Leeds, Birmingham and London previously but we were actually only in Soho, London for about 5 hours so this is a little more compact but still jam-packed full of fun and delicious food. We didn’t have chance to stay in any hotels in Soho because we stayed the night before with our friends in beautiful Greenwich after a random but fun night at the O2 watching the Harlem Globetrotters!
