Conveniently situated on the intersection of two motorways The Landa Palace near Burgos is probably the most impressive, opulent and expensive ‘TravelLodge’ in the world… Apparently built by one of Spain’s wealthiest hotelier families to create ‘the best hotel ever’ regardless of location or whether it made any money, the Landa Palace is definitely among the coolest places we’ve stayed.
An unexpectedly fabulous dinner was to be had in the restaurant on the Brittany Ferries Plymouth-Santander crossing… Veuve Clicquot, a tasty flaky crab salad starter followed by a surprisingly good fruits de mer and eye-popping icecream profiteroles with a chocolate sauce to finish… By boat is definitely the only way to fly!
The hotel is beautifully decorated, it is immaculate. The rooms are especially classy. The food is of a standard which far exceeds any other hotel outside of London – brilliant. The best value for money in a long time. We came back refreshed and inspired!
Nicely fitted out ‘gastro pub’ on the edge of the Cotswolds Water Park. The Old Boathouse is a stylish, light and airy bar & restaurant with a deck that backs on to the lake behind, perfect for a quick drink and a bite to eat on a sunny day.
Having read about this pub in lots of publications and having heard about all of the awards that they had won, I was expecting a really great place for a cosy anniversary lunch with my husband.
