A glimpse of some of the Walwick Hall rooms that were given a beautiful upgrade at the start of this year. They redecorated the bar, lobby, drawing room and dining room, and they’ve gone bold with bright colours and plush decor. It’s fabulous!🦌
I enjoyed afternoon tea there as part of my stay at Chester’s Stables last weekend (there’s more coming on that I promise in July).
I’ve shared a blog on the afternoon tea which I’ll put in stories today ☕️

A lovely little corner of Hexham, doesn’t bunting just make everywhere look nicer? I think it should be the summer equivalent of Christmas lights 🇬🇧

The Red House in Whitley Bay now do cocktails, this was a raspberry and pineapple martini. Would v much recommend. 🍸 I shared a little guide to pubs in Whitley Bay last month that included the Red House, so I’ll link it in stories today 🍻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been spending a lot of time on my blog these last couple of months, Im talking a post a day over there as so many of the questions and DMs I get are from people outside of Newcastle planning a visit and wanting to know info that to be honest I just take for granted, especially about the coast. It’s much quicker to whack a blog link over especially when I write such detailed responses back it really takes time, and I was finding I didn’t have the blogs to do it!
So that’s what I’ve been doing, lots of lists, lots of guides, lots of random questions answered and lots of writing. I feel like instagram has suffered a little as a result of time spent elsewhere but that’s ok. Instagram could be deleted tomorrow but my blog won’t be and Im really seeing a difference in views 🧐 cheers to that.

Ad| Alnwick Castle in Northumberland was one of the filming locations for the first two Harry Potter films, and when it comes to escaping the everyday, you can’t enter a world as fantastical, or as far from reality as the world of Harry Potter ⚡️🔮
As part of their Escape the Everyday campaign this summer, @mykindoftoon and @visitengland have teamed up to showcase some of the best days out and experiences to be had across the region, and this is one of the excursions on offer - an award winning Alnwick Castle Harry Potter and Alnwick Town tour, with @lundgrentours 🏰
My blog is live today I’ll share it in stories and swipe for some more pics! 🧹

Ad| You may remember from past posts, I’ve always wanted to stay at Chester’s Stables, the luxury self catering suites and cottages that were once real working stables back in the 19th Century. This weekend it’s become a reality!
Now they’re owned by @walwickhall giving a self catered, dog friendly option to stay but with all the benefits of the hotel available to you - even down to booking breakfast, having dinners delivered to you, and access to all the facilities.
They’re absolutely stunning, a word I save for when it’s really deserved! You will of course be seeing a full tour of the Stable Suites, reels and all the full works in time, but this weekend there will be more of the small details, as well as what you can get up to at Walwick Hall itself seen as it’s right on the doorstep 🥂

Pig in Muck, Alnwick 🐷
I stopped by here for a quick drink at the weekend, as I had time to kill and there were seats outside free while the jubilee band were playing. It’s a cute little piggy spot!
🍸 strong cocktails and a good selection of North East gins on the menu
🫒 sharer boards and tapas on the menu
🍳 also serves a brunch menu
☀️ inside and outside seating on Alnwick market place
🐾 dog friendly
🍻 local beers
🏰 go for lunch after a coastal walk or visit to Alnwick Castle
