Perched high above a seemingly never-ending stretch of golden sand on the rocky North Devon coast sits a gem of a hotel. Paula and I were fortunate to experience three nights at the Saunton Sands Hotel and would return like a shot, so impressed were we with every aspect of our stay. As the Saunton Sands’ glossy brochure states, this is “the hotel with everything” and no truer words were written. The Saunton Sands Hotel enjoys an unbeatable location.

Recently, we enjoyed a short break in Wroclaw and, wow, what a city! Situated on the Oder River in western Poland, it boasts, among other attractions, a fab Market Square edged by elegant, colourful townhouses, restaurants and cafes, the country’s second oldest botanical garden and myriad bridges. In fact, with over 100 bridges it’s no wonder Wroclaw is nicknamed “The Venice of Poland”.

Despite measuring just nine miles by five, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands as well as the archipelago’s southernmost isle. A self-governing dependency of the UK, it has much to offer visitors. Known for, among other attractions, splendid beaches, rugged coastline, myriad walking trails, inland valleys, military history and a fine collection of superb cafes and restaurants, Britain’s sunniest spot has something for everyone.
