Cornwall is undoubtably the jewel of our British south coast. Soft sandy beaches, aquamarine coves, quaint holiday cottages, water-sports and a microclimate blowing in from the Mediterranean; what’s not to love? Despite it’s booming popularity in recent years, I think it' still the ultimate plac
I love being a travel ambassador for my home county of North Yorkshire because it is such a beautiful part of the UK, with an abundance of things to see and do. It’s all on my doorstep, so I often take it for granted. But last weekend I was a traveller in my own home…
On a solo trip to Scotland I went on a mission to seek out fun and alternative things to do in Edinburgh. Having visited Edinburgh many times before, I had already ticked the biggest attractions off my list (Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Arthurs Seat). If you’re returning to Edinburgh and ar
You’re never too old for a girls weekend away, right? My best friend Naomi lives in The Lake District, so we’re always making plans and finding excuses to meet up. Every time we meet, laugh hysterically, indulge in good food and drink and quiz each other about every little detail of our lives. I
Christmas 2019 was amazing. It was the first Christmas we’ve had Theo at home with us and we wanted to make it extra special. Scott took 2 weeks off work and we packed it full of days out and trips to see family. It was everything we wanted it to be, but also it was…
This summer I visited Cornwall for the first time and brought my Mum along on her first ever blog trip. We spent 3 nights at the Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa in Newquay and used it as our base to explore the surrounding area. Leading up to the trip, I had so many of you…
As a self-confessed lover of gin, I’m excited to share with you the perfect day out for gin lovers, which is hidden away in rural Hampshire, just 1 hour from London. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I received an invitation to visit Bombay Sapphire’s Laverstoke Mill in Hampshire. I’ve s
I’m pleased to introduce the fourth blog post in my series called ‘A Local’s City Guide to’, where I call upon savvy women from around the world to share an insiders guide on the city they call home. This next instalment comes from Liverpool-based travel blogger Laura fr
When travelling, I am always looking for knowledge and recommendations from locals. What could be more valuable than tips from someone that lives and breathes the city you’re in? This gave me the idea for my first ever blog series on The Travelista, which I am calling ‘A Local’s City
After an unforgettable year of overseas travel, my final adventure of 2016 was a little closer to home. I’ve recently teamed up with Accessorize to produce a series of travel guest posts on the Accessorize blog. Part of the collaboration involves shooting a collection of travel photos fea
The city of Bath has long been associated with 3 types of people; Romans, Georgians and of course, tourists. I got to try my hand at being all 3 of these things when I experienced a luxury weekend in Bath last weekend. After a rare couple of months without any overseas travel, I was itching…
At the beggining of this month I was invited to experience 24 hours in Dublin with a handful of fellow travel and lifestyle bloggers. As part of this trip I was lucky enough to enjoy a night’s stay at The Westbury Dublin, one of the leading 5* hotels in the capital. Never one to turn down
