This has to be one of the coolest rooms we’ve ever stayed in! It’s the loft suite at The South Causey which is a newly converted open plan design with four poster bed, tonnes of mirrors, a lounge area and toilet, a fabulous free standing tub, twin showers which have the prettiest lighting at night... AND your own private sauna! How unique is that?! I love the space, the light, the total boujee vibes and the fact that the Woodland Spa is literally a 15 second walk away! Restaurant Biedronka has also just opened in the farmhouse at The South Causey, a wonderful set menu experience from Marek Dz (formerly of Restaurant Hjem) showcasing Polish food and British ingredients. @southcauseyinn #southcauseyinn #coolhotelrooms #besthotelsnortheast @woodlandspa_sci

ad | Heading to London? Hotel location is everything and @radissonblu Leicester Square is perfectly placed for shops, bars, restaurants, sightseeing and of course, theatreland! Our studio suite was huge and had amazing views across Leicester Square, while downstairs, the stylish lobby area was perfect for chilling out while waiting for our friends to arrive before exploring all that central London had to offer. Conveniently located within the hotel, @leicestersquarekitchen is a cool and vibey restaurant serving up Peruvian and Mexican style dishes to its hungry, busy guests. Breakfast is also a really great offering with buffet style brekkie or order off the menu (the avocado on toast with a chilli kick was awesome! Aside from the fantastic location, I was surprised at how quiet the rooms are, and the staff are brilliant. SAVE for your next trip to the capital. #radissonblu #londonhotels #leicestersquare #leicestersquarekitchen

Celebrated restaurant Franco’s London on Jermyn Street has a new bar open day to night so you can enjoy everything from morning espresso to espresso martini. There’s also a wine programme, aperitivo cocktails and a delicious food menu including luxurious lobster rolls which are literally to-die-for. We’d definitely recommend the truffle martini for a heady hit of earthy goodness, and the rhubarb crumble if you like sweet dessert like drinks. Re-designed by Conrad Alexander Design, it’s a sophisticated space with some incredible artwork.

The night @guerlain turned the Millennium Bridge blue! We went to the launch of Guerlain’s new fragrance L’Heure Blue - celebrating the hour before sunrise and after sunset when the sky takes on a deep cool shade of blue and saw the Millennium Bridge turn blue in its honour! The intimate immersive event held @balticgateshead gave us the chance to learn more about this captivating scent and its powdery, iris, and spicy floral accords. Master Perfumer Delphine Jelk actually spent three years creating a brand new iris tincture which gives it its unique fragrance profile. You might’ve seen L’Heure Bleue all over social media which is your sign you need to try this lush and luxurious perfume. #lheurebleue #newfragrance #guerlain #newperfume @oagencyinsta @balticgateshead @gateshead_millenium_bridge

🍸✨ NEWCASTLE COCKTAIL WEEK ✨🍸@newcastlecocktailweek 📅 Coming 2nd–11th October 2026 We’ve been out exploring some of Newcastle’s cocktail spots for Cocktail Week, with cocktails from just £5 across the city! 🍹🥂 Here’s where we went… 🍸 THE ALCHEMIST We started our evening at The Alchemist and were made to feel so welcome by the lovely, interactive staff. We tried the Buzzball cocktail part of their cocktail week menu - made with spiced rum, bacardi, blue syrup, coconut and foam - and it was absolutely scrumptious! 🤤 We also tried one of their mocktails, made with cranberry, apple and lemon, which was equally delicious! 🍎🍋 🍸 WC NEWCASTLE Just a 5-minute walk over to the Bigg Market, and such a lovely surprise! We were made to feel really welcome by manager Serena, who was fantastic. The secret Cocktail Week menu is incredible and, honestly, this feels like a destination spot rather than somewhere to just have a quick pre-drink - you’ll want to stay and work your way through the menu! 👀 The Guilty Pleasure was a standout for us - aged rum, caramelised pineapple, ginger shrub and dark chocolate. 🍍🍫 We also tried the Forbidden Word, which was beautifully citrusy, the Cosmonaut with gin, fresh lemon and raspberry, and The Last Segment, combining herbal sweetness with vodka. And the decor? Gorgeous! ✨ 🐇 VAMPIRE RABBIT Our final stop and what an atmosphere! 🖤 Cool vibes, great music, live singers and musicians, and loads of quirky little rooms to explore. It gets busy, so definitely book ahead! We tried the Autumn on the Tyne, which looked absolutely stunning with its little autumnal leaf decor and it tasted even better! Eric, our mixologist, was a breath of fresh air and really added to the experience. Three very different venues, three completely different vibes - but all three gave us something memorable! 🍸✨ Newcastle Cocktail Week | 2nd–11th October 2026 🍹 Cocktails from £5 🥂 Newcastle’s biggest cocktail event 📍 Bars & restaurants across the city Time to get cocktail hopping! 🍸💃🏼

It’s hard to pick a favourite @thecookiejaralnwick which has 11 individually styled bedrooms in this former convent turned boutique hotel. ‘Bamburgh’ boasts quiet luxury, coastal inspiration, views of Bailiffgate and an in-room shower, plus there tonnes of natural light which makes the blue tones look even more beautiful. Set in the perfect location for exploring Alnwick, you can rest easy after a weary day in a super comfy Hypnos bed before enjoying a hearty breakfast in The Bistro. #alnwickhotels #luxuryhotels #boutiquehotels

ad | @tsuchirestaurant at The Black Bull in Sedbergh has a tasting menu that’s well worth travelling for. Chef-owner Nina Matsunaga showcases a concept with true commitment to sustainability and a respect for nature. Quite fitting then that ‘Tsuchi’ means ‘earth’ or ‘soil’ in Japanese, with the menu paying homage to the ingredients that are grown in the ground. With Nina’s heritage fusing Japanese and German with a passion for true Cumbrian produce, the result is an exciting culinary journey from start to finish, in a beautiful dining room on the ground floor of the Black Bull.

‘There’s no place like Hjem’ Hjem have taken up residency in the heart of the Beamish Valley for a 6 month pop-up in South Causey’s Farmhouse. It’s a gorgeous setting for an incredible tasting menu that takes you through fresh Northern ingredients with Scandinavian suavity. This clean cuisine with a focus on fresh fish and root veg is elevated by Hjem with tasty twists on each dish. And ‘fresh’ is most definitely the focus here. You’ll be eating vegetables that have literally been pulled from the ground on the same day, or fish that has been plucked from the freezing North Sea just hours before. With Hjem’s ten course tasting menu priced at £105 and a three course special menu for £60, there is Michelin star magic at work at here, so like us, you’ll probably want to experience as many courses as you can with the full works.

ad | Waterfront stays done right @marriottcanarywharf! Overlooking the wharf with the DLR, tube and shopping centre on the doorstep, this hotel nails the balance between business-stay and beautifully indulgent. A gleaming lobby of polished floors and rich woods leads to calm, immaculate rooms with floor-to-ceiling water views, cloud-like beds and thoughtful touches throughout. Downstairs, the Manhattan Grill restaurant brings real atmosphere (a rarity for hotel dining), with standout cocktails, generous plates and juicy perfectly cooked steaks. Add an executive lounge you want to hang out in, in, genuinely warm staff, a spa-style fitness suite and unbeatable transport links and you’ve got a hotel that pretty much fits the bill for whatever stay you’re after near the capital.

Flat Iron opening Newcastle (Photo Credit: @justindesouza.photo) The legendary Flat Iron steak of London and Manchester fame is coming to Newcastle in the Spring and will occupy the former Co-op building on Grey Street in a 19th Century Grade II building. If you’ve never eaten their steaks before, you’re in for a real treat. This no nonsense brand know their meats inside out and while the menu is small, it is perfectly formed. Grab a glass of Malbec (specially blended by the Flat Iron team using grapes grown in the Limoux area in southern France) and be sure to order sides of beef dripping chips, crispy bone marrow garlic mash and truffled mac ‘n’ cheese, as well as the green chilli cheeseburger. Flat Iron refers to the often overlooked featherblade cut known for its juiciness and flavour. It’s affordable and extremely tasty and comes from their very own herd of Wagyu cattle in Thirsk. Expect stripped back interiors which will reveal original features, signature oak tables and industrial accents with a central bar area. Click the link in bio to read about the hottest new bar and restaurant openings in Newcastle #flatironnewcastle #newopeningsnewcastle
