  • A REAL FOODIE EXPERIENCE & STAY AT THE GENERAL TARLETON, NORTH YORKSHIRE | QUEENBEADY

    A REAL FOODIE EXPERIENCE & STAY AT THE GENERAL TARLETON, NORTH YORKSHIRE | QUEENBEADY

    I’ve only ever heard good things about the General Tarleton (just on the outskirts of Knaresborough) so when I got the chance to visit I had high hopes already. Situated in the sleepy North Yorkshire village of Ferrensby, it’s easily accessible from the A1. It’s also not far from the pretty Market Town, Knaresborough and Spa Town of Harrogate, so it makes for a great base for exploring the area whilst enjoying a countryside retreat with superb food.

    Before I even start, I have to say I had THE BEST weekend when we took a trip to the gateway of the Yorkshire dales. I know, I know spoiler alert already, but seriously, we had an action packed itinerary to make sure we got to see the whole of the estate had to offer and it was the perfect concoction of exhilaration & relaxation at the Coniston Hotel, Skipton. With an early start, from our home it took only 50 minutes to get there and luckily a brunch was waiting for us on arrival. And you know your gal loves nothing more than a yummy brunch!

    Every once in a while you jut have to say, “to hell with it!”

    The start of the year hasn’t gone quite the way I had planned, details one shall not go in to (but don’t worry, it’s nothing too bad but it feels like the tide is going against half of the time.) It’s the small moments of calm that I take pleasure in at the moment because everything else seems so frantic 98.5% of the time. I just feel like I need a lot of pampering to distract me from it all. So, when the opportunity arose to experience a little bit of luxury de-stressing at Rudding Park Spa, Harrogate I decided to grab life by the balls and enter a state of serene at this magnificent Spa.

    BAR & GRILL AT THE DAKOTA DELUXE, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    When we had the pleasure of staying at the Dakota Deluxe Leeds last month (you can read my review here) we were also treated to a wonderful meal at their very own signature restaurant, the Bar & Grill which is situated inside the hotel. They have their very own bar, which is oh-so very elegant and was already quite busy at 8.30pm, so we decided to skip pre-dinner drinks and head straight downstairs to the cosy, speak-easy style restaurant in the cellar.

    Oh hey there, it seems I took nearly a two-week break from the blog (and I so didn’t mean to do that!) You see things were (and still are!) very hectic, especially with the run up to my guest speaking slot at #BlogAtTheBeach last week. I was busy prepping and zoning my energy in to not getting nervous that it just kinda fell by the wayside. I was doing well with the nerves getting the better of me until a few days before, so when the opportunity came up to spend the night before the event at Leeds’ newest hot spot I couldn’t resist. After all, I was ready for a bit of R’n’R beforehand with a luxury stay at the Dakota Deluxe, Leeds. Having already become accustomed with this hotel after hearing all about it from a friend (who raved and raved about it!) I knew it was exactly the type of hotel I was looking for, even if it was in my city!
    Sit tight, because I’m pretty sure you’re going to add this to your bucket list for when you’re next in town…
