I’ve been following the Inver Restaurant for a while on social media and coupled with a visit to Strachur last year (where we nearly bought a house!), we decided it was time for a wee cheeky night away and some good tasty food, oh and to celebrate 20 years together (eek!). Inver is a restaurant…

The Taybank, Dunkeld
We were looking for a night away not too far from home for a birthday treat and a pre Christmas break. I had read of The Taybank in the lovely town of Dunkeld on social media but also in some newspaper articles and it had therefore been on my list of places to visit for…
Bootleggers Bothy, Hopeman
I’ve been spending more time recently up on the Moray coast in the North-East of Scotland and have been out and about exploring the local area. A period of good weather around the longest day gave us the opportunity to try out Bootleggers Bothy at the West Beach Caravan Park in Hopeman. After a short…
Archerfield House, North Berwick
For another pre-lockdown 2.0 treat, we managed to squeeze in an overnight trip to Archerfield House in Dirleton, North Berwick. I’m no stranger to Archerfield, popping in to catch up with friends for a coffee or some lunch and to visit their spa. It was great this time though to get to spend the night….
House of Gods Hotel
In early December, for a certain someone’s birthday, I booked us into the House of Gods Hotel in the Cowgate to take advantage of their ‘Locked up like I’m famous’ package which included pizza, cocktails and ‘unlimited prosecco’. I’d seen pictures on social media of the package and it looked like a lot of fun,…
Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa, Pitlochry
I’m always on the hunt for a wee night or weekend away from city life, somewhere comfortable, with good food and preferably a spa (though the latter is not a deal breaker)! It’s just nice to get away from the norm, particularly in these more challenging times we find ourselves in. So, a friend and…
Treviso
Italy, as you will see by my recent travels, is one of my favourite countries to visit. The food, the prosecco, the scenery and the culture all make it a great place to take a holiday. So when it was suggested that a certain someone wanted to go and watch their beloved Edinburgh Rugby play…
Florence & Pisa
I love Italy and have had many fantastic trips around the country, from my very first time in Garda in 1992 to the latest trip to Cinque Terre, Florence and Pisa. Florence has long remained a favourite of mine, the architecture, the food and the weather as well as the ability to walk without the…
The Grandtully Hotel
Back in March we finally made it to The Grandtully Hotel in Perthshire, run by the wonderful family behind Ballintaggart Farm and formerly the Supper Club Charlie and Evelyn’s table in Edinburgh. Having visited the Supper Club, I knew that their next venture would be a great one. The Grandtully Hotel sits in the little…
Sevilla, Spain
I last visited Sevilla as part of a backpacking adventure travelling around Spain and Portugal about 15 years ago – I loved it and always said one day I would come back. Luckily Easyjet have started direct flights from Edinburgh to Seville, so we decided to utilise the Easter break and take a long weekend in…
