Experiencing the Best Places Portland Has To Offer

June 12th, 2013 Ellie Llewelyn

Portland is located in the West Coast of the United States and it is one of the most visited locations in this part of the country. It’s the most populous city in Oregon. Whether you are looking for its rose gardens or its vibrant night scene, you are likely to find some great Portland hotel discounts if you take your time to look.

These are a few sights you’ll want to see:

Rose Test Garden – Because of the city’s warm dry summers and cool wet winters, it makes it ideal for growing roses. This is why Portland‘s nickname is the City of Roses. This 4.5

Escape to Estepona: legacy luxury on the Costa del Sol

June 5th, 2013 Ellie Llewelyn

 

Ah wonderful Spain. My affinity with this country runs deep, with part of my soul residing in beloved Madrilenian haunts, the wilds of the rich Andalusian hills and the chatter of evenings with olives.

Even with their financial sky rapidly descending, the majority of the passionate population remain unperturbed in their day to day existence. Siestas remain strident, cognac remains cogent and Spains virile self-confidence remains firmly on display.

I love Spains admirable arrogance, entirely justifiable in the context of wild, and natural beauty in abundance.

Great British Music Festivals

May 31st, 2013 Ellie Llewelyn

With the advent of spring and the prospect of summer many of us will be anticipating  a season of music festivals across Britain, in what is after all the quintessential home of the music festival. The daddy of them all, Glastonbury, is a few short weeks away and this year boasts ‘Glasto’ first timers The Rolling Stones!  Whilst it may be time to sort out that yurt and pack those wellies it is not necessarily all tents and portaloos. There are lots of great music festivals where you do not need to go native to enjoy British music at its best. With

Air France’s latest network strategy sees creation of HOP!, growth at transavia.com France, and axing of 29 routes

May 28th, 2013 Ellie Llewelyn

This week we take a closer look at which routes Air France has deemed surplus to requirements during the last 12 months. This is not as easy as it sounds, as the airline has recently created HOP!, a new regional subsidiary that merges the operations of Airlinair, Brit Air and Régional, into a single, more cohesive brand identity. Most of HOP!s routes were previously operated with Air France (AF) as the marketing airline, but are now operated under HOP!s own code (A5), with Air France codesharing.

Cottage of the Week – The Barn at Scalby Lodge, Scarborough

May 14th, 2013 Ellie Llewelyn

Never ones to rest on our laurels, this week we set about finding a property that could out-do last week’s connection to a very famous Briton (Winston Churchill since you asked. Check out The Lookout here). After much frantic searching of properties with the vaguest connection to people of renown from this fair-isle, we finally remembered that a number of our featured properties are owned by perhaps the greatest, and most famous, of living Britons…

Her Majesty the Queen owns the properties at Scalby Lodge – including the large and delightful The Barn. These
