85.___The Lookout

For The Boyfriend's 21st I took him (well, he drove!) to Keswick in the Lakes for 3 nights, staying in a little B&B called The Lookout. Its a lovely B&B run by a really friendly couple with only 3 rooms, it's very homey and you're really looked after.

Here's pictures of our room - Room 3 - which is on the ground floor, with a double bed, 2 really comfy armchairs, a TV with freeview, a hairdryer and the most amazing shower!

I love these cushions!

And the Bathroom

Here's the breathtaking view from our room

Not bad!

If you want to stay here, it's on Chestnut Hill in Keswick - www.thelookoutkeswick.co.uk

Both myself and The Boyfriend would recommend this B&B we had a wonderful time.

80.___The Hotel at Watergate Bay, Cornwall

After the wedding we headed off to Cornwall for 4 nights, which was lovely. We stayed at The Hotel at Watergate Bay, the hotel is beautiful over looking Watergate Bay, and conveniently enough has Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant just across the car park!

We had a bedroom in the main hotel with a sea view, our room, which we think was a disabled room, as it had a different bathroom door to the other's rooms, was spacious with a double bed and balcony with amazing views!

(Sorry about how dark the photo is - you can still make out the furniture...just!)

The bathroom was wonderful, bath with a shower in it, and the toiletries were fabulous! A little set from L'Occitane, I was very impressed. 

The views were breathtaking, here's one of the sunsets taken from the balcony.

If you fancy heading over, here's their website The Hotel at Watergate Bay or if you're on twitter, follow them @WatergateBay.

78.___The Royal Hotel, Weston-Super-Mare

I've been a busy girl this week - sorry for not being around. Last weekend was The Boyfriend's cousin, Naomi's wedding, in Weston-Super-Mare - which I'll tell you more about later, we went down for 3 nights, here is the hotel which we stayed in.

The hotel is great, right on the sea front, with rooms which can only be described as quaint. We ate in both the bar, the wedding party, breakfast and the carvery, all of which were lovely, although I do have to say that the carvery is the best one that I've tasted in a while. There was a choice of Beef, Gammon and Turkey with all the trimmings, needless to say that all of the men in the party, including The Boyfriend had a brilliant time piling their plates high, and there wasn't a single thing left.

There is wi-fi throughout the hotel, including all of the public areas with Sky TV (which the boys appreciated! The cricket was on!)

The pictures below are of our bedroom, it was lovely, the decoration was not my cup of tea but it was extremely comfortable and very clean. The only thing that was slightly bizarre was that as soon as you walked in the door there was 3 steps which lead to what you can see in the picture below.

This is the bathroom, which as a complete contrast to the bedroom was very modern, white and clean. The shower was great, very powerful and hot.

The toiletries in the room were lovely, and very well displayed, I have a thing about hotel toiletries and I also have an unfortunate habit of bringing them home with me!

The best thing about the room was the artwork on the wall, it was all of local scenes - some of them historic but local nonetheless. 

Now for the details;
