Mention Bulgaria to seasoned skiers and snowboarders and the first thing that comes to mind is its cheap reputation. With pints of beer for £1.50 and lift pass prices under £200, its bargain basement fame seems justified – this year the resorts of Borovets and Bansko both, once again, topped the chart of the cheapest

In 2018, they added 10 bedrooms, but it wasn’t until the end of lockdown, Laura says, that these rooms came into their own. “Until then, our overnight guests had mainly been people coming to the area on business,” she

This year’s hottest hotel openings are a varied bunch, from bumper-size projects that were half a decade in the making to little island retreats that have quietly cropped up.  Revival is a key theme, with former landmark hotels restored to their former glory on Capri and the Costa del Sol. Unbridled luxury also features with

Like moths to a flame, Britons tend to head south in summer, rather than north. The reasons are obvious. If a suntan is your priority, why would you choose a holiday destination even further from the Equator than Britain? Alternatives to the Med also tend to be costlier, while their cuisine can lack the same

Norfolk’s vast sandy beaches are its chief draw for visitors: even on the busiest summer day there is always space for games, kite-flying or a family picnic in the dunes. Boating, crabbing, digging for cockles and wading in creeks provides hours of entertainment for all. But there’s much more to Norfolk’s coast than its beaches.
