Exhausted. Need to get away. Need to be pampered. Need delicious food. Need to just sink into a bliss of having everything PERFECT.
Now that the commute to Morocco has got so much better again (from the UK, British Airways have reintroduced the London-to-Marrakech route, meaning –Hallelujah — no more Royal Air [...]

Want to relax in New York? Check in to the Soho Grand (do go for a suite if you can) and be cosseted in a very modern kind of fabulousness, especially thanks to the design by Bill Sofield.

It’s bleak up on Dartmoor, home to England’s most notorious prison. But don’t let that put you off. Think instead of bracing walks, stunning scenery, wild ponies grazing by the side of the path and then, back down towards the country villages of Devon, dinner and an overnight at The Elephant’s Nest [...]
