Review: Afternoon Tea, The Victoria and Albert Hotel, Manchester
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky received the Nobel prize for economics for showing that people did not necessarily make rational decisions.
Review: The Spa, The Midland, Manchester
I absolutely adore a massage. Lying comatose on a heated bed with a shed load of essential oils being kneaded into my face and body is my idea of heaven.
Food Review: Afternoon Tea, The Lowry Hotel, Salford
Afternoon tea is the new lunch, at least it is at The Lowry Hotel. In what could be a Brexit-inspired assertion of National Standards, they’ve abolished that continental invention, the two-hour lunch – except on Sundays, of course – and brought back Afternoon Tea.
Review: The Lowry Hotel Spa, Salford
It’s been more than a decade since I first visited The Lowry Hotel Spa.
Restaurant review: The Lowry Hotel, Salford
Say the words ‘hotel food’ and what springs to mind?
Review: Afternoon Tea at Cloud 23, Manchester Hilton
Rejoice! There’s an afternoon tea offering in Manchester that eschews crustless cucumber sandwiches and dry scones. It’s the autumnal-themed tea at Hilton Deansgate.
Review: The Forest Side Hotel, Grasmere
Aptly named, this four-star hotel and acclaimed restaurant in the Lake District sits in the lee of a steep slope of trees.

When you check into a hotel in Manchester and they tell you their bar is themed around local history, you can imagine the usual suspects: cotton, trains, bees, football, the Haçienda.
Review: Sunday Best at The Principal Hotel and The Refuge, Manchester
Recently, I came across a snap of the new signage on the old Palace Hotel building. It was posted on Instagram and the photographer had commented how it was odd to see another name on the iconic, Victorian building.
Review: Mulled Wine Scrub at The Lowry Hotel, Salford
The last time I was offered a full body massage, I was staying on Gili Trawangan, an island just off the coast of Bali. It was so brutal that I felt like I’d accidently entered a wrestling competition – and lost.
