Dubrovnik - Mini holiday - 5 days October 23 (price per night Oct 24 B&B basis from £118) 

Hotel - Valamar Lacroma

This trip was child free leisure time for me and the other half.
Dubrovnik is simply stunning.
It has everything to offer, history, stunning scenery, fine dining, arts and culture.

Highlights
- Old Town Wall walk
- Lokrum Island Visit ( Ferry departs from Old Town)
- Fort Lovrijenac
- Return Mountain walk from cable Car HQ viewing tower ( or Cable Car ride)
- Indoor and outdoor pool at Valamar Lacroma

We stayed in the Valamar Lacroma in Babin Kuk which was a very nice hotel.
Good food, very well furnished and maintained, friendly and efficient staff, great facilities, the 4* rating is deserved.
We purchased a Dubrovnik 3 day City pass, which is also offered in a 1 or 7 day options. (35€ PP)
This gave us 6 free rides on the bus which takes 10-15 minutes to reach Dubrovnik from Babin Kuk, along with discounts on most attractions.
No matter where you stay everything is really accessible and easy to navigate.
One point to mention is that Old Town is expensive for food and drinks.

If you haven’t been, get your trip booked for 2024

Stirling Castle and the William Wallace Monument, the best start to our Scottish Castle Tour

STIRLING CASTLE AND THE WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT First stop on our Scottish 4 day Castle Tour (by car) Stirling Castle seemed familiar to me, mainly, because it reminded me of Edinburgh Castle, a very impressive position perched atop its intrusive crag, well preserved also, we really enjoyed our visit with lots of different areas to see and explore. The views are stunning and stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions, the location of the castle was no accident. You can see Bridgehaugh, right next to Stirling Old Bridge which was the site of the battle of Stirling Bridge where in 1297 William Wallace defeated an English army.  With its place in history, we had to visit on our trip. Whilst in Stirling, we ignorantly stumbled across the William Wallace Monument, due to its unique shape, design and significance we found it to be another highlight of the trip. It’s a must, it’s quite daunting when you climb to the top and realise how high up you are. The views are very impress...

Thinking about Lostwithiel Cornwall? Check out our best 10 attractions including Spectacular Beaches with photographs.

         Location, Location, Location   This visit to Cornwall was a business trip, so we chose The Fowey Valley Hotel in Lostwithiel due to its ideal location for us, although Lostwithiel is a small town it’s location is well positioned if you plan on visiting the local scenic quaint harbours and beaches.  The Fowey Valley is a very reasonably priced hotel with good facilities, and comfortable furnishings, the food was very good, both the evening meal and breakfast with a good selection.                              We found the staff very efficient friendly and accommodating. There is plenty of free parking on site, but make sure you remember to register your car at reception to avoid fines.  We visited the following places before we ran out of time. - Looe, 26 minute drive - Polkerris, 15 minute drive ( a lovely place to enjoy a warm evening either in the Rashleigh Arms...
