Hey lovely people! Today i thought it'd be nice to share my previous weekend (17th to the 19th July) with you as i had such a wonderful time! My brother, Mum, Ronald (Family friend) and myself went to stay at the lovely George Hotel in Chollerford, Northumberland, which sits right by the River Tyne.
On our journey there we stopped at this wonderful building for some lunch. The building is a hotel, which also contains a big ballroom and a pub-like area where we had our lunch. I ordered fish & chips, and i swear it was the best I've ever had!

(Full length mirror to capture all my outfits!)
(Beautiful 4 poster bed!)
(Nice little sofa chill out area covered in mums things and wine, so much wine!)
(Tv with radio 1 on of course!)
(A nice little desk with mirror and light. Also window on either side which provided me with pleanty of natural lighting to achieve flawless make up!)
(Power shower)

When we reached the hotel mum and i were so excited to see our room, as we've never stayed in a fancy hotel before. Above are some photos i took. Apologies for the quality and the slight mess (girls just explode everywhere!), the majority of these where taken at the night time when i had a few too many glasses of wine and there was no natural lighting.
My favourite parts of the room were the huge 4 poster bed, which was so comfy i may add and the bath. Now i am a big bath lover anyway, but oh my god this one in our en-suite filled up in less than 5 minutes! And to the perfect temperature too! Both nights i was in relaxing heaven before bed.
Later on in the day we relaxed by the river side with a few pints of cider, staring at the beautiful view above.
For both the Friday and Saturday night i ate the almost the same thing! Steak, chips, mushrooms and onion rings followed by an amazing slice of cookie bash cake, which was made from sponge, ice cream and crumbly bits of cookie. Both were absolutely beautiful.
Saturday we drove 14 miles into Hexam to have a little look around the town and shops. Above are some photos i took inside Hexam Abbey. I absolutely love the architecture and detail that has been put into every inch of this building. My favourite part for sure are the stain glass windows, they're so freaking beautiful and colourful when the sun shines through.
I also popped into Superdrug and the huge Tesco they have there. I bought a few cosmetic bits and a few items of clothing which i will show you soon in a haul post!
Later in the day me and mum wanted to check out the hotel pool and Jacuzzi. I didn't take any photos of it because i didn't trust myself with my phone or camera near so much water.
I did however take this photo of myself in my vintage bikini, as at the time i was just thinking to myself how happy i am with myself. Like this is the first time in my life i have taken a bikini photo and been happy to share it with people. Obviously i am still going to work on getting fitter and toned, but right now i am happy with me, inside and out. Which feels so great!
Here are my outfits from both nights which i wore for dinner. On the left i'm wearing a floaty midi dress from Prettylittlething with a holey crop top from Primark on top for a bit of coverage, a light pink blazer from Newlook and my white trainers with frilly purple socks!
On the right i'm wearing a cut out shoulder black crop top from Newlook and my flare high waisted daisy pants are from F&F at Tesco. On my feet i wore chunky black sandals for dinner, but in this photo i am just wearing my white trainers again as they were comfier for walking to the near by pub!
I kept my style for the weekend cute but comfy, wearing things that offered both of this but also looked put together.
The reason for this little trip was to obviously have some relaxing time but was also to learn about a place Ronald holds so dearly in his heart. He grew up around this area and has so many fond memories of the place, which we had the pleasure of hearing.
We all had a wonderful time, all the staff were so friendly and helpful and if your thinking of a weekend away i really would recommend The George Hotel!
I hope you enjoyed this little mini break post and please let me know of anywhere you like to visit for a weekend away!
Thanks for reading, have a lovely day!
