Eats: The Royal Inn, Portishead
The Royal Inn has had a refurb! It’s been so long since I’d been, I’d actually forgotten what the interior looked like… 🙈 📍 Pier Rd, Portishead, Bristol, BS20 7HG I can report back it’s now really bright, spacious, and lovely and what I do remember – the fabulous garden – is still glorious, plenty…
Eats: Venice on a Budget, Trattoria Dai Tosi
Would you believe you can get dinner for two in Venice for £38.65?! Probably not which is why I’ve included the bill: A traditional backstreet Venetian taverna and only 20 mins walk from Saint Mark’s Basilica, Trattoria Dai Tosi is family run and frequented mostly by locals (chatting with one of the owners they think…
Eats & Explores: Lyme Regis
Nestled on the stunning Jurassic Coast in Dorset, Lyme Regis is a charming seaside town renowned for its rich heritage as much as its (very many) scenic views and instagram worthy photo opportunities. Known as the ‘Pearl of Dorset,’ this picturesque harbor town invites visitors to explore its cobblestone streets, historic landmarks, golden beachfront and…
Eats & Explores: The Howard Arms, Ilmington
Last month (June), hubby and I visited the north Cotswolds for part one of our ‘Babymoon’, and on our second night there we stayed at The Howard Arms. Even with the weather being less than ideal upon our visit, we were immediately charmed driving up to this quaint village gastro pub and B&B. We stayed…
Eats & Explores: The Bower House, Shipston-on-Stour
We’re in June, which you may know (if you read the nonsense I write here or follow me on Instagram, hi if you do! 👋), means that The Bean, aka the tiny human I’m currently growing, is officially due NEXT MONTH. (😱😬😅) How did that happen!? Anyway because I don’t like to do things in…
Explores: Portmeirion, Gwynedd
Last week my husband, the boys and the bump/I went to West and North Wales on a Sun holiday, staying in Haven sites at Pwllheli and Prestatyn. On the Saturday (13th) it was Mr Lizzie.Eats.Explores Birthday, and we spent the afternoon at Portmeirion Village, a beautiful way to celebrate I think you’ll soon agree… So…
Eats & Explores: 3 Nights in Athens, Greece
Bestie @jen.on.tour and I recently enjoyed a mini break to the Greek Capital, Athens. We had a brilliant trip and it was super convenient (and cheap) to visit from Bristol, so here are some of my (our!) recommendations… Transport Flights from Bristol are very reasonable, depending on the time of year. We booked in October…
Eats & Explores: A Night in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire
Accomodation: The Cawdor Hotel Where: Rhosmaen St, Llandeilo SA19 6EN The Cawdor came onto my radar a few years ago when my mum stayed there – she raved about a free upgrade to a four poster bed and the exceptional food. So when I spotted a special offer on their Facebook page just before Christmas,…
Eats: Porthmeor Cafe, St Ives
Anyone that knows me or reads any of the nonsense I put on Facebook and Insta will know that I love St Ives! As in REALLY love it. Since meeting Chris in 2014 and being introduced to this little seaside town (claimed as the sunniest place in the UK), we’ve been at least once a…
