After being gifted a National Trust membership for Christmas, I have since been on a mission to tick off as many locations as I can before the year is up. As someone who has always loved history, visiting places that have an eclectic background is my idea of heaven. I’ll be sharing my favourite places with you here on this blog!
Read moreGLAMPING AT THE DRAGON'S REST, HEREFORDSHIRE
There is nothing I love more than having the opportunity to spend a long weekend away in the countryside. Having somewhere booked for January is always welcomed as I find the post-christmas gloom of the month can be overwhelmingly dreary. As it turns out The Dragon’s Rest, a trio of cosy cabins with glorious views across rolling fields, was the perfect place to get away for a reset.
Read moreA STAY AT REST + WILD, SHROPSHIRE
Surrounded by woodland and green rolling hills, Rest + Wild in Shropshire is the perfect place to unwind and reset. Situated in Downton Estate, Rest + Wild have crafted four cosy cabins, each secluded from the other, to encourage a luxurious and restful stay. We recently spent two nights here and it was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. We left feeling wonderfully restored after spending a couple of days reconnecting with nature.
Read moreA TRIP ALONG THE NORTH NORFOLK COAST
June is always a month of adventure for us. It is our birthday month and each year we head away on a fun camper trip somewhere in the UK. North Norfolk’s coastline has been on our to-see list for the longest time. We have read of the flat lands, windmills, and the villages full of flint houses and knew that eventually curiosity would get the better of us and we would have to visit.

As part of a big road trip around Portugal, we were always on the lookout for charming towns to explore. Luckily, Portugal has an abundance of medieval towns and villages full of history, stunning architecture and tradition. Óbidos is possibly one of the most picturesque and well-preserved of them all.

The city of 7 hills, sat on the Tagus river charms all who visit. Confirmed a green list country for British travelers, more people than ever are thinking about a trip to Portugal. As one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe, Lisbon will no doubt be in the spotlight. As part of a big road trip around Portugal a few years back, we stopped in Lisbon more than once to experience a city buzzing with youthful optimism, yet still so traditionally Portuguese.

With holidays abroad still looking a little unlikely this year, The Staycation is the hot topic on the lips of all holiday-makers right now.

We love finding unique places to stay, that go above and beyond the average hotel room. Somewhere with charm and personal touches that make our stay ever more memorable.

Read moreROAD TRIPS IN THE UK YOU JUST HAVE TO EXPERIENCE
Few things are more romantisced in the travel space than ~The Road Trip ~. Rightly so in my opinion, for there is nothing I love more than being on the road. For the last five years we have been taking our campervan on some epic adventures, exploring the UK and beyond in our Volkswagen T4. We have seen some incredible sights and have built up a pretty impressive list of places we’ve fallen in love with along the way. I have put together a list of places you’d be foolish not to visit on your next road trip around the UK!
Read moreRENTING A VINTAGE CAMPERVAN WITH LOVE TO CAMPER
n early September, we found ourselves with a week off work and had (loosely) planned a camper trip. We knew we were off on a road trip, destination yet to be confirmed. We love our camper, our t4, but his spray paint job lasted longer than we anticipated and when the week off arrived, we were two campers minus a van.

Last autumn we were seeking a cosy weekend away. We wanted to enjoy our days outside admiring the changing season and our evenings snuggled up by the fire. We could think of nowhere better than the Brecon Beacons, especially as the area comes alive in the autumn. We stumbled across Medley Meadow online and booked our own safari tent stay.
