Alcudia // Mallorca 2018

Here are some delayed photos from my trip to Majorca in October. This was a last minute break as i just really wanted to have a holiday before the summer sun was gone!

Enjoy.

Time Out - Fritton Arms

My self and my mum went on a spontaneous night away last Friday. 

We stayed at the Fritton Arms which is a luxe hotel in the middle of the countryside. It was very last minute and due to certain circumstances it wasn't planned, but it wasn't too far from home so we went for it. We took our dogs with us, and they were able to stay in our apartment as it was pet friendly. We didn't get much sleep because the dogs did really understand what was happening so they didn't keep still all night!

The apartment we stayed in had a single room, a double room, a bathroom and another room with a sofa in.

Its important to take time out of an everyday hectic lifestyle. Whether thats doing something you don't usually do, going on a spa day, enjoying an afternoon tea, making time for a coffee with a friend, or treating yourself to something like a night away.

Looking after your wellbeing and health is one of the most important things. No one else can look after that apart from yourself as you are the only one know truly knows how you are feeling on the inside. Even if you don't feel like you particularly need or deserve a treat or to do something you normally wouldn't, you could be surprised at how rejuvenated you feel after, and you could realise that maybe thats actually exactly what you needed. 

Quick & Easy Guide To Choosing An Airbnb.

Airbnb is a fairly new revelation. The idea behind it is you can stay in a house/apartment, room or shared room that somebody else owns. This is supposed to be cheaper than a hotel. The beauty of Airbnb is that you can actually have the opportunity to stay in a lot of undiscovered places that aren't built up so therefore don't have hotels in the area. 

The Airbnb website is great, and they also have an app which is really easy to use - but I've noticed it doesn't have all the features and options the web page offers...

How to choose the right Airbnb for me

1. Once I know where I'm going, I will input the destination and the dates. This will display all of the Airbnbs that I could chose from - as they are available for he dates I've selected. 

2. Next i filter the available airbnbs down by changing the amount of guests and the price. The price indicator allows you to see the average Airbnb price per night. But you can move the control bar up and down to suit what you want to pay. I now also select which type of Airbnb I want to stay in. Eg, Entire place. 

3. A variety of Airbnbs will now be displayed. This is where you can be picky and filter down the options even more by tailoring the place to your needs. This could be; wifi, parking space, a bath, en suite, washing machine etc. 

4. At this point you may of found a few you like the look at. My top tips at this stage would be to read reviews on the host to see what other guests have said about their Airbnb, look on the map to see where it is - is one closer to the train station you need to be near?, look into the price breakdown - are there any extra payments such as a cleaning fee?

5. Have a last comparison. Look closely at the photos as pictures can lie! You can always contact the host to ask any questions you may have and show your interest in their Airbnb. But also look at their response - do they respond quickly? Are they polite and professional? Their response will also say a lot about the place you will stay in. 

I use Airbnb a lot, especially in different countries. It can make travelling and visiting different places so much more unique. You can really tailor the place you stay in to your exact needs. Airbnb is only growing, which means there's more and more apartments and rooms being added to the website and app. It's a really good hack for staying somewhere on a budget as you can select exactly how much you want to spend and see what options are available.
