Last week I shared some photos of Hotel Endsleigh, the first of two places which Chris and I stayed at during our recent escape to Devon. As promised, here’s a peek at the second: Weeke Barton, hidden above a wooded valley on the edge of brooding Dartmoor National Park. This beautiful B&B is an entirely different kettle of fish to Hotel Endsleigh. Yes, it’s set in another old building – . . .
Hotel Endsleigh | Devon
Sometimes, modern life becomes so hectic that you have to escape, even if only for a day or two.

72 hours in Berlin
I have another installment from our recent trip to Berlin today (if you missed last week's post about our wonderful B&B, Linnen, you can see it here).
