Michael Wan’s Mandarin, Blackpool.

After having many burgers and pizzas we thought it was time to spice things a bit so we headed to Michael Wan’s Mandarin.  We did book in advance as this was the 4th best restaurant in Blackpool listed on Trip Advisor and they stated it gets super busy! Being a two minute walk from the hotel made it even better!

John Lewis Partnership Hotel, Ambleside.

When arriving at the John Lewis Partnership Hotel, Ambleside in the Lake District we were overwhelmed with how lovely the hotel was!  With stunning views over the lake and a huge stone-built house.
