Tucked within the Powderham Castle estate, just outside Exeter, lies a hidden gem that brings together thoughtful food, elegant design, and the slow charm of Devon countryside living — the Powderham Bistro, housed in a light-filled restored orangery.

There’s something enduringly special about the great British seaside, and Dawlish Warren in Devon delivers all the charm you’d hope for — with a few unexpected twists. On a recent visit, we found ourselves immersed in a cheerful, bustling atmosphere of sand, sea air, and seaside nostalgia, accompanied by our ever-curious Yorkshire Terrier, Ollie.

We’ve driven past Brightside Honiton on the A303 countless times, always curious but never quite making the stop—until now. This time, on a Saturday afternoon, we finally pulled in just as the crowd was starting to build. What we didn’t realize at first was that this wasn’t just any Brightside—it was the flagship location, the […]

Egloshayle, a charming village in north Cornwall, lies on the eastern bank of the River Camel, just southeast of Wadebridge. Its name, derived from the Cornish words “eglos” (church) and “heyl” (estuary), reflects its historical significance as a riverside settlement.

Tucked away on the rugged coastline of North Cornwall, Bossiney Cove (also known as Bossiney Haven) is a breathtaking hidden treasure that rewards those willing to make the journey. Our visit to this secluded sandy cove was nothing short of magical—think turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, a cascading waterfall, and secret caves. It’s one of those […]

It’s been two years since we last reviewed White Row Fish & Chips at White Row Farm, just outside Frome in Somerset. Back then, we praised its generous portions, rich flavours, and the welcoming, countryside charm that made it a go-to for many. So on a recent return, we were curious—would it still live up […]
