Following a six-million-pound refurbishment programme and with new owners, the Albion in Freshwater Bay, on the lovely Isle of Wight, provides a much-needed stylish, dog-friendly seaside hotel to the South coast of the Isle of Wight. The highlight is the location of their restaurant the Rock which can't be beaten. With floor-to-ceiling windows on a promontory jetting out onto the bay, the sea appears to be just a few feet away.

Promoted as the place where decadence meets debauchery, Natasha Blair visits House of Gods to find out what it’s really like. A fun place to visit with a loved one or someone you want to get to know, the House of Gods is decorated for a seductive dalliance and is definitely a hotel for couples. From the outside, the building is a nondescript brown stone but stepping through the front door, the lighting is subdued and sultry. A cocktail bar/lounge is on either side of the reception desk.

Natasha Blair enjoys great entertainment while eating soul food at Americana London Restaurant. Southern American Soul Food has arrived in Central London at the Americana London Restaurant on London’s Haymarket and with it, entertainment. Background music can often be irritating and sometimes too loud or intrusive. Somehow live music is different, and when it’s good, it contributes to making your evening special. The Americana fills both these criteria.

By Natasha Blair Surrounded by the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man, known as Manx, has biosphere status, and is small enough to explore in one visit – although there is so much to see and do that it left me wanting to return. The island is just thirty-two miles long and fourteen wide and although part of the British Isles, governs itself. A highlight of the year, taking place in the summer, is the TT motorbike races which take place on the roads at speeds of over 200 mph.
