My weekend in paradise

I have been the worst blogger ever I am so sorry but I have been so busy on holiday!

Imagine an old estate with the surroundings of an Alice in wonderland garden and the past of an older, classy playboy mansion. The food which makes Michelin stars seem inadequate and a spa that you could easily imagine Kmid swanning around in. This is cliveden house and thus my magical weekend I had to share with you all.



So I will give you a run through o a typical day at cliveden...

Wake up to a pre chosen breakfast in your beautiful room.












Head to the legs, bums and tums class or take a walk around the gardens...






Then head for a swim, steam, sauna and their Parisian top to toe treatment. This is a full body massage, facial, exfoliation it is heavenly......



There is also an outdoor pool and hot tubs but more for summer.

Head to one of Heston blumenthal's restaurants for lunch... You've earned it







Spiced squash soup with salted hazelnuts




Chicken and mushroom pie






Shepherds pie with dehydrated cheese




Lemon sole




Almond broccoli




The famous triple cooked chips!




Steak with marrow sauce




Treacle tart with milk ice cream




Millionaire shortbread with chocolate wine slush




Chocolate and wine... My two favourite things

Wander around a quaint little nearby town, go back to the hotel chill, horseride, eat your complimentary jellybean filled, gold leafed Easter egg...












Then head back and get ready for your equally amazing dinner!!

We headed to what seemed like a cute pub but what was actually as yummy as the Michelin starred lunch...




B and B cookham m&ms!













Duck ravioli




Chilli jam and squid







There was even chalk on the table for when we got bored between courses!




Lobster and steamed veg




Duck




Mint tea




Eton mess




Chocolate fondant, passion fruit drizzle and chocolate orange ice cream





Then you can head out for cocktails with your best friend!






Our 3 types of alcohol and Oreos and cream cocktail!


Head back home for sleep in your cloud like bed.... Repeat tomorrow!

Oh come on, who wouldn't wanna go?

Just don't forget your wellies!



Bisous,

A x
