I recently received a surprise email from my Sweden-based friend Becky, who was heading to Oslo for work and wanted to know if I fancied flying out to join her for a weekend. As you might imagine, I’d booked my tickets within minutes: not only was it a chance to explore and catch up, but the dates happened to fall over the summer solstice – a major cause for celebration in many Nordic . . .
Hotel SP34 | Copenhagen
Following last week’s top tips from Copenhagen (one of my all-time favourite cities), I want to share a few snaps of the beautifully designed hotel we stayed at during our recent trip: SP34. This place is packed with eye-candy for anyone interested in interiors: art-filled communal areas, mid-century classics throughout, and a few chic industrial touches (polished concrete, exposed pipework, . . .
A wine-fuelled stay in the Douro Valley
I’ve posted a few things about our recent time in Porto, and now I want to share some images from the last leg of our trip – the beautiful Douro Valley, which is just a short motorway hop from the city.

Now I want to show you around the hotels we visited, starting with 1872 River House [AD - affiliate link] – a lovely little bolthole that I was reviewing for my day job. This tall, skinny mansion in salmon pink sits right on the riverbank in Ribeira (the Unesco-listed old . . .
Rural chic in North Norfolk
I don’t know about you, but my favourite interiors tend to reflect their setting – I’m not talking about anything overly themed or forced, but a few subtle elements that add a bit of local character and echo the environment outside. Nowhere have I seen this achieved more beautifully than at Cartshed Cottages, a quartet of self-catering hideaways in North Norfolk that my boyfriend and I recently . . .
