cities explored and adored
Located in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), 362 km central west of its capital Sydney, lies Parkes, a town famous not just for being the birth place of Drew but that’s had international attention since its humble beginnings as a gold rush settlement back in 1873.
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 …
Aside from its party island reputation Ibiza also has its fair share of gastronomic experiences. So, on a recent short break, Elldrew eschewed the nightclubs in favour of a more sophisticated food focused holiday.
Early in 2017, after years in hibernation, the old Midland Bank headquarters in the City re-emerged butterfly-like and transformed into London’s hottest new destination hotel, The Ned, run by the uber-chic and contemporary Soho House & Co. For a group notoriously strict about the type of people they admit into their “exclusive” creative industry only members’ …
With the cold January Swedish weather and our energetic husky wilderness adventure one can’t be blamed for spending much of their ICEHOTEL trip thinking about their stomachs! We wanted to do a quick blog about dining at the ICEHOTEL sweden restaurants, for anyone planning a trip up north.
Day 2 and 3 of our icy adventure saw us return from the overnight husky ride to the ICEHOTEL. When booking you’re advised to sleep in a “cold” room on either your first or last night of the trip. We opted for our final night so that we’d be acclimatised and more settled. We were …

Sleeping on ice/in ice has long been a dream for Elldrew, but the price tag associated with a hotel that melts annually has been somewhat prohibitive, making it a real bucket list item for which we needed a significant occasion. With one of Elldrew entering a new decade, January provided …
Elldrew have been on a bit of an immersive experience in the first half of 2017. We’ve eaten our way through the Chambers of Flavour , escaped a bank vault in under an hour and most recently attended Secret Cinema’s latest instalment: Moulin Rouge. We’re sworn to secrecy so can’t really tell you anything about …
With every trip away we like to investigate the local restaurant scene in the hope of finding hidden gems, or places on trend, to dine in…or at least get an idea of places to avoid. TripAdvisor is a great source of information for restaurant rankings, and if you can be bothered scrolling through reviews, you …
This summer, Elldrew spent a week in Ciutadella, a historical city situated on the west coast of 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.
