the George In Rye

I would love to spend a quaint weekend at The George in Rye in the southeast of England. What I love about this boutique hotel is the ambiance and the decor that resemble the comfort of home. There is nothing worse than staying at a hotel that is sterile and deplete of character. Bed & breakfasts, and “homey” boutique hotels such as The George In Rye would be my first pick over many mainstream hotels. When living in Savannah, we had the opportunity to tour and stay in many of the bed & breakfasts, and the charm of the old homes and the comfort of the southern food was enticing, and the huge rice beds and fluffy pillows was just icing on the cake! One of my favorites was the Olde Georgia Inn(no longer in business). It was a period home and the kitchen was gorgeous..wood block island, porcelain kitchenware, vintage stove, and brick walls. If I can find a photo, i will be sure to post it!

So, have any of you had the opportunity to stay at a bed & breakfast or a swanky and comforting hotel such as The George in Rye..do share!

Exeter-Devon: Southwest England {gotta get there}

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

If you are ever in Southwest England, let’s say somewhere around Exeter (which is the capital city of Devon county & is home to the lovely Exeter Cathedral), then why not entertain your taste buds by stopping by La BoCa! I love the decor of this venue(it’s 4 stories with 4 different restaurants) and the menu consists of Authentic Moroccan cuisine such as cous-cous, dolci, chicken, lamb, and vegetarian tajines, flalafel, stuffed vine leaves, hummus, and so much more! I am getting hungry just thinking about it! Yum!

La BoCa: Exeter

“La BoCa consists of 4 floors where you can experience the exotic. You can share an authentic tajine, cooked in traditional terracotta pots & served to your table straight from the oven, as you dine in the sumptuous Hareem on mounds of cushions under beautiful silk awnings. No party is too big or small for the Latin Quarter Grill and private function room. From corporate meetings to private parties La BoCa will provide a unique experience in authentic surroundings that will make any gathering a memorable one. On the Ground floor there is El Hamra where you’ll feel like you have been transported to the heart of North Africa, with traditional belly dancing you will also be entertained whilst enjoying your meal. After you have finished your meal you can relax downstairs in Club Maroc with an exquisite Cocktail whilst listening to live Jazz, Flamenco guitar or resident dj’s. Run by the same team who brought you the ever popular Al Beb in Torquay you are sure to have a wonderful time, and look forward to your next visit with anticipation.”
