The Lazy Cow SalisburyLast weekend I finally got the opportunity to stay at The Lazy Cow in Warwick. Somewhere I’ve been desperate to stay for quite sometime.
We got an absolute bargain with this room. The usual price is around £150 a night but we managed to get a Luxury Kingsize Moo Room for just £50 by visiting the lazy cow website directly. We didn’t have great service at the hotel and there were some issues with the room which I won’t bore you with but there’s no disputing this is one stylish hotel. It’s also right in the heart of Warwick, perfect for exploring.
Definitely a design hotel; The lampshade was made up of lots of little, retro milk bottles – funky.
A year ago I visited The Salthouse Harbour Hotel in Ipswich. I’ve written about this hotel for a magazine and did a brief post on my previous blog but I thought I’d share it with you too. It’s quite picture heavy – you have been warned!
The one thing that struck me about The Salthouse Harbour Hotel was the superb customer service. I’ve been to some beautiful hotels in my time but this one really had the highest level of customer service I’ve ever seen. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left staff were attentive, pleasant and helpful. When you’re going for a weekend away the staff can really make or break the stay.
The Salthouse Harbour Hotel in Ipswich, Suffolk is a rejuvenated warehouse that has been converted into a striking contemporary space containing interesting art, stylish furniture and quirky curios. It brings an eclectic blend of urban and country, vintage chic and cutting edge design to the Ipswich quayside.

We were upgraded to a penthouse room with beautiful views across the harbour. Even in the rain the views were amazing. The layout of the room was fantastic, with two chairs and a table situated right by the balcony which was perfect for relaxing with a bottle of wine at the end of a busy day.
The bed was easily one of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in. Pillows were plumped to perfection and there was enough room to spread out and get in a good nights sleep!
The bathroom was probably what impressed me the most. Extremely high spec, it had a frosted glass panel in the wall between the bathroom and the bedroom and a bath that was so deep it could’ve easily been mistaken for a swimming pool!!
