    Waking up in the rather large, cosy, king sized bed at the Mercure Oxford Eastgate Hotel was a type of morning I’d like to repeat. Every weekend. But sadly I can’t. My bank balance probably wouldn’t thank me and there’s a small issue of who would look after the dog. So when we do get to enjoy, boy am I going to saviour it. Probably one of the snuggliest beds I’ve ever had the pleasure to stay in, my night sleep was perfect. With a quick cup of tea before heading down for breakfast, it meant I could revel in for an extra 15 minutes longer.

    One footstep inside Oxford and suddenly you are transported in to a world of magic and wonder (not least because the city was used a lot for the Harry Potter films) but everywhere you look, it has that charming, oldy-worldy backdrop that just takes you away to another dimension. The drive in, we missed our turn off to the Mercure Oxford Eastgate hotel just off the High Street because we were too busy looking up at the buildings in wonderment. A 15 minute detour, that quite frankly, we didn’t actually mind. Warning, this post is photo heavy because I don’t think I’ve ever been to such a gorgeous city (in my life!) With January blue’s setting in, it was the perfect getaway to rid myself of them. With plenty of deals available with Mercure, I know I’ll be doing it much more in the future.
