Blue Waters Resort & Spa Hotel, Antigua
We’ve held off posting any holiday or restaurant blogs whilst we all suffer through the global COVID-19 pandemic, but oddly, after nearly eight weeks of lockdown, working from home, with nowhere to venture for a break or night out – everyone’s new normal – one’s mind starts to reminisce about all the amazing places we’ve …
Spicers Retreats, Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia
With our travels in Australia, after the ‘big smoke’ of Sydney, we looked for a little downtime to experience some of the Aussie bush, so we decided to head up the coast to Queensland; specifically, the Sunshine Coast which is approximately 90 km north of the state’s capital, Brisbane. We looked to stay somewhere boutique-y, …
Porto, City Restaurant Guide
Currently trending as one of the hottest European food destinations, the vibrant city of Porto – Portugal’s second-largest – has been on our radar for a while now, so with a long weekend Elldrew excitedly jetted off to explore the much-talked about sights, architecture, wine and port bars, and to dine in as many places …

Another Christmas, another series of festive meals, another January starts with a diet. 2016 mainly saw Elldrew revisiting some old favourites – to see if they’re just as good and festive as previous years – and in case you need any reminders you can read our 2014/15 or 2015/16 festive feasting reviews before taking a …
Hotel Can Faustino, Menorca

Having enjoyed breaks in Ibiza and Mallorca we were excited about experiencing our last unvisited Balearic Island (Spain) so we booked ourselves in for a week’s much needed R&R at Hotel Can Faustino.
