    Some places make their first impression before you’ve even reached the table. Tattu Leeds is one of them. Cherry blossom. Low lighting. A little bit of theatre.

    Whittlebury Park | Accessible Spa Hotel Review

    Returning to somewhere I used to know… 22 years on There is something strange about returning to a place that once knew you differently.

    Far from Plain Sailing | My Stay at London’s Sea Containers

    I knew this stay would matter before I arrived, but not because of the hotel itself. It was the timing. I was in London to take part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon, my first road race and the longest distance I have ever completed in my wheelchair, for two…

    There are hotels you enjoy. And then there are hotels you return to. Not because they are the most extravagant.Not because they are the newest. Because something about how they feel stays with you. I first stayed at The Lowry Hotel a couple of years ago. A last-minute decision. One…
