The Website for People Who Love Britain - Anglophiles
Editor's Note: While going through old notes I took on our last trip to England in May 2012, I found a bunch of observations that got lost in the shuffle and buried at the bottom of my note program. I thought it would be fun to put them together into one post. So, while the topic is a little dated, the information is timeless. We're a little … [Read more...]

We had another good night's rest at the Abbey Rise and we got an earlier start than we had on previous days. We took in breakfast at the B&B, again expertly prepared by Ms. Dewhurst.

Most people told us not to even bother traveling with our fifteen month old son and honestly, there were times during our travels when we agreed. However, as a whole, traveling with a toddler wasn't too bad once we got the hang … [Read more...]
We really enjoyed our time in the Cotswolds and our stay at the Old Swan in Minster Mill Hotel and it broke our hearts to have to leave after such a lovely stay but our itinerary was merciless and it was time to move on to the next destination we were really excited about visiting: Bath. But first, we had a few more stops before we got … [Read more...]
We awoke after a restful night's sleep. I woke up before everyone else and took the opportunity to sneak out and explore the grounds of the hotel before everyone else woke up. The grounds surrounding the Old Swan and Minster Mill Hotel are simply beautiful. The inn that the hotel was converted from dates back to 1445 and the place oozes history … [Read more...]
We all awoke well rested despite our 2am trip to Tesco, though we did wake a little later than we would have liked. With a packed itinerary, any time lost sleeping was one more thing we couldn't do that day. We had a great send off from the Oxford Hotel. As part of your stay, they provided a delicious hot breakfast buffet with more than you can … [Read more...]
It had been just over a year since I'd been to Britain for the Royal Wedding and it had seemed like a million years ago. I couldn't wait to be back again. This time, I wouldn't be going alone. My wife would be joining me as well as our 15 month old son. Cue the 'You took a 15 month old to Britain? On an airplane? You brave soul.' It actually … [Read more...]
