Neilson Holidays are now offering four day breaks to their beach clubs

For me, a lifelong animal lover, one of the hardest things about going on holiday to sunny locations is seeing stray animals begging for food - and more often than not, a bit of kindness.So I was beyond thrilled to discover that beneath one of the stairwells of the Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa in Gran Canaria, a feeding (and toileting) area had been set up for around a dozen stray cats to safely live at the hotel without scrounging from or upsetting guests. The hotel works in partnership with a loc…

I have always been a bit wary of English wine - and for good reason. Growing up, we (randomly) had a vine growing along the edge of our garage, and one summer my nan’s cousin came and harvested the grapes to make some home brewed wine - and to say that the finished product made paint stripper seem palatable would be an understatement. Nearly thirty years later, and thanks to pioneers who are not part of my extended family (and climate change), English sparkling wines are lauded not only by Brits…

BodyHoliday’s mantra,“Give us your body for a week, and we’ll give you back your mind”, might sound like the tagline from a dystopian horror flick, but in reality, it’s anything but. Arriving at the resort, situated at the north of the island in the Cap Estate, you are handed an icy towel fragranced with citrus oils to refresh yourself. It’s just a small taster for the invigorating sensory experience ahead.Guests staying in the resort’s 155 rooms, which are nestled in candy pastel hued buildings…

The worst thing about a trip to Ragdale Hall Spa is that as soon as you’ve checked out, you’re plotting how you can return.Take it from me. Since my first visit in 2018, not a week has passed where I haven’t thought about the sprawling manor house turned health retreat, which in parts dates back to the eighteenth century, and how it overlooks the rolling Leicestershire countryside. Top tip: The best view of the fields and woodland is from the infinity pool on the spa complex’s roof. Why do I lov…

Courtney Cox never looks anything less than radiant - and it might be partially due to her love of taking an ice-bath.The Friends actress, 59, posted a look back at her January on Instagram yesterday, and amongst her personal highlights was her preparing to take a dip in her personal plunge pool. The mum-of-one asks the camera if it’s cheating to keep waterproof booties on as it’s ‘so f**king cold’. We say definitely not - put some gloves on, too! She previously told Glamour that she never imagi…

If you’d asked me five years ago for three things I’d never do, I’d have replied: date a man with a child, go on a cruise, wear Crocs. But, here I was, doing all three - and loving it. Ever since meeting my partner Rob in 2019 and becoming a ‘stepmum’ to his then 6-year-old, I’ve learnt a lot about kids, including but not limited to, how to play Roblox; names of Pokemons and Premier League goal scorers; and how to transform boring everyday food into something exciting during the non-stop buffets…

My favourite thing about the Seven Deadly Sins? There’s one for every mood and occasion.

And you only need to spend 30 minutes with one of the furry mutts to reap the benefits...
