Covered Bridge House: Charming Bed and Breakfast in the White Mountains

December 18th, 2010
The Exterior of the Covered Bridge House

This past weekend, my husband and I attended the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour in the White Mountains, as guests of the Country Inns in the White Mountains.  The charming and quaint Covered Bridge House, in Glen, New Hampshire hosted us for two nights, while we attended the tour.

The Covered Bridge House offers five rooms – four with private bathrooms.  There’s also a family suite with one room with a queen bed and one room with two twin beds.  The entire Inn has air conditioning and WiFi available for guests.

We really enjoyed our stay.  Our hosts, Dan and Nancy, were very hospitable, and made sure that we were comfortable and happy.  Breakfast at the inn was delicious – in fact, we were so full both days that we didn’t need to eat lunch.

In the summer months, guests can swim at the Saco River swimming hole right in the backyard.  There’s also an outdoor hot tub open year round – great for relaxing those tired legs after a long day of skiing.

The Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe

If you want to get some souvenirs of your trip, the Covered Bridge Gift Shoppe is right next door.  It’s build right into one of only fifty-three covered bridges remaining, and is the only gift shoppe in the world built into a privately-owned covered bridge.

Best Hotels and Villas in Lanzarote

March 3rd, 2010

The Spanish owned Canary Islands are one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. And little wonder – as this archipelago of seven islands is blessed with great weather all year round, wonderful beaches and plenty of excellent places to stay.

Over the course of any given year the Canaries welcome in the region of 9 million tourists – placing them behind Catalonia alone as the most visited destination in Spain. And this is thanks in no small part to the incredible climate – which led to them once being dubbed the Fortunate Islands. Certainly tourists today are very unfortunate if they experience any rain or bad weather here as the climate is much like an eternal spring – even in winter time!

A Romantic Stay for your Valentine

Romance Under the StarsRomance Under the Stars at a Campground

Do you prefer sleeping outdoors in a campground to chatting with strangers at bed and breakfasts? Is riding a hotel elevator to the 20th floor, searching for your room number not your idea of a romantic getaway? February doesn’t have to rule out camping locations with your special someone.

Campgrounds like Kampgrounds of America (KOA) have become more sophisticated, even offering lodges with bathrooms, kitchens, heating and air conditioning. In other words, the prices are still good, but your Valentine won’t have to “rough it” to spend a cozy night with you by the fire.

Best Location in Barcelona: Grau Hostel

February 12th, 2010
Grau Hosteria

The center of Barcelona, or Plaza Catalunya is not normally where I recommend that people stay when they come to visit me in Barcelona. It is too chaotic and noisy in the city center for my taste, and usually I suggest hotels and hostels that are tucked into side-streets or in quieter parts of Barcelona’s many barrios.

Grauis the exception to my rule. One block off of the city’s most central drag, staying at Grau doesn’t feel like staying in the city’s main hub, but gives you all the advantages of being right in the thick of it. The metro, bus, taxis, many bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and sites are within walking distance from Grau.
