Snow Gastronomy a foodie winter break in Austria
"I'm not normally a winter sports person, to be honest. When I was growing up such a concept was foreign to our family. My father said 'Winter?

Lime Wood – an impressive country retreat
Lime Wood had the travel, food and business press all a little bit hot under the collar when it opened at the tail-end of last year – the main reason being that it was one of the most interesting projects to launch in a long time. The newly-restored Georgian hotel is set in the deepest depths of the New Forest and looks like it could become the definitive country pile for visiting tourists.
Cliveden House - a home and a hotel
Cliveden House is one of the most gorgeous luxury hotels in the UK and just a short ride from London or Heathrow.
