Sardinia has long been known as a millionaire’s playground. This beautiful island south west of Italy, just below Corsica attracts everyone. Flanked by beautiful beaches and crystal clear turquoise water, gorgeous scenery every which way you look, it’s no wonder.
I’d been looking to go to Devon or even as far as Cornwall for ages. As well-travelled as I am, getting Mr PCG too far from London for a weekend away is difficult. Understandably, the drive can be a pain. I looked and looked for somewhere on or near a beach with a pool, not as far as Cornwall and with great reviews and facilities for kids. Not easy as it goes. I’m a very difficult customer and look for super-high standards. I don’t want to compromise on anything; we need good food, luxurious rooms, great service, plus all of the above.
Now this resort has been the most talked about new opening of the year. Every Facebook group from travel specific to local family has someone recommending or asking about it. No wonder that you will find it almost impossible to book for this year.
More importantly, since their opening in May, the Tripadvisor reviews have been glowing; not a small feat with such a sizeable resort comprising more than a handful of restaurants and bars.
Wild Ponies
I’m just back from a weekend’s foray to the lovely New Forest. More precisely, this time we were there to visit Peppa Pig World.
The New Forest is a gorgeous part of the world less than two hours drive from London with its fair share of things to do in and around the National Park; loads of wildlife, National Trust properties, Beaulieu Motor Museum, vineyards, picturesque villages and towns or just walking in the fresh air and admiring the ponies! It’s also well placed for Bournemouth and its beaches too.
