A Review of The Montenotte Hotel in Cork
The penultimate stop to the tour landed us in the south of Ireland in Cork with a stay at The Montenotte, situated above the river and city center. Upon arriving, we were both pretty enamored with the hotel instantly and saw a lot of potential. The common areas were elegant, yet playful, the cocktail bar,…
Top Tips for Visiting the Cliffs of Moher
The next day we woke up early to tick a bucket list item for me- Cliffs of Moher! We were very lucky with the weather. Despite the grey skies, there was no rain and minimal wind so we were able to keep the visit. Apparently, it gets so blustery that it’s hard to stand up…
A Delightful Sunday Feast at McSwiggan’s Galway
McSwiggan’s Galway came onto my radar as their menu featured bloody mary oyster shots- all of the above not easily available in Switzerland. Turns out, I got far more than I bargained for with a delicious Sunday night feast in the restaurant portion of the bar/resto. Glad to have booked as there were plenty of…
The Galmont Hotel & Spa Galway
Last week was a whistlestop tour of Ireland and tagging along on the Gentleman’s work trip was a great chance to see a bit more of the country. Our first stop was a 2.5 hour trip from Dublin, Galway. After traversing the country, it was a relief to arrive at The Galmont Hotel and Spa,…
Discover Newton-le-Willows & The Kirkfield: Essential Stop for Travelers
Aside from the nauseous part of the winding single lane roads of rural Scotland and England, I can’t imagine a more lovely way to spend an autumn day with the one you love. When a midway point is needed for a rest and some sustinence, please note that Newton-le-Willows is quite an adorable checkpoint for…
Hilton London Review: An Acceptable Trainline Hotel
Perfectly situated between Euston and St. Pancras, made the Hilton just the man for the job of homebase for London, but a jump off point for trains. There’s not too much to say other than the hotel was just fine. Not great, not awful, just the soul-less lodging you might expect from a north London…
Bancone: A Solo Diners’ Paradise in London
On a recent solo jaunt, I tailored my lady’s day out around a stop for Bancone. On my list for years, Bancone appears to be professional pasta connoisseurs but within a reasonable budget – something we all need these days! Solo diners are popped at one of the many bars and I was glad to…
Top Dining Spots in Ibiza: Ohana’s Decadent Dishes
Our final night in Ibiza was cause for celebration for many reasons, this spectacular sunset was one of them! After traipsing around this beachfront every evening, we landed on a reservation at Ohana for the special occasion. Be sure to book, as the place was packed and with great reason! To start, we had the…
Tuna Tacos and Scenic Views: Experience The Seahorse Club
Well situated on the Playa d’en Bossa is The Seahorse Club, perched just high enough above the beach for perfect views and removed from the folk hawking goods in the sand. Peaceful comes to mind. With it’s well styled space and bright colors, it reminds me of a quirky Kimpton property. Really, you can’t beat…
Hotel Garbi Review: Perfect Ibiza Retreat for Adults
After the busiest summer on record…or nearly… we capped it off with a couple days of proper chill time in Ibiza. Staying in a new area to us, Playa d’en Bossa, the Hotel Garbi was centrally walkable to clubs, restaurants, and even old town which we did one ambitious day. (Nothing like arriving to a…
