For Chris’ 60th birthday treat we booked ourselves a couple of nights away in the Hay Loft suite at Dannah Farm Country House. This advertises itself as Luxury B & B Boutique Accommodation, and it certainly fulfilled all our expectations. Take a look at the website at dannah.co.uk where there is a full description, price …
A Good Time at Goodrich Castle
Driving along the A40 after crossing the Welsh/English border, there is no clue about the magnificent site not far off the road. The sign for the castle appears suddenly, and after a very short drive you reach the large car park. Still no sign of a castle. Into the ticket office and still no clue. …
Quick Stop at the Forest of Dean
Staying at the White Hart Inn in the Forest of Dean was a very pleasant experience. It was cheap, so you don’t have high hopes. But I was delighted. The room was spotless. There are lovely little touches. One of the things that annoy me in hotels is a large kettle and a tiddly sink …
Norfolk Family Holiday

Hunmanby Holiday
Our cottage was in a little village called Hunmanby, not far from Filey. We booked through Yorkshire Coastal Holidays. We were not disappointed. Formally an old dairy building on a farm, now stands a converted two-bedroomed cottage, with a bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. The garden is fully enclosed – a peaceful haven for garden birds. …
Travel Fairie Amy Memories
It is with the deepest sadness and an extremely heavy heart, that we have to inform you that on Sunday 27th March, Amy passed away. There were no suspicious circumstances and from the information we have so far, it appears that she died peacefully in her sleep. We are devastated and haven’t really come to …
Winter Holidays to Beat the Blues
Winter can be one of the most magical times of the year. With Christmas and New Year and often some time off work, people use winter to see friends and family they may not have seen in a while. But, for many, winter is also a season of cold and wet and not much sunshine. …
