The apartments at Wellington Street in the Fruit Market has been transformed into around a dozen flats with incredible views onto the Humber and across the city centre. Kenny Keegan, who has developed the properties during the past two years, says he is keen to highlight how impressive Hull is to people from outside the city. The first apartments, run by We Love HU, have been available for more than a month with more currently being made available at the site. The owner says it is important to keep the flats’ Hull heritage at the forefront of the properties with a number of Hull-inspired artworks across the apartments. Mr Keegan said: “The Fruit Market is the place that people want to be at the minute. There is a huge buzz around the area and we’ve been seen that popularity from the outset. “We don’t want people to forget they are in … [Read more...] about Look inside new luxury holiday apartments in Hull’s city centre

14 best luxury Easter eggs 2018
These are the Easter eggs at the most luxurious, decadent and utterly indulgent end of the spectrum – the best of the best that will be the absolute envy of the Easter breakfast table. But – and here’s the best news – they are not all as expensive as you might assume, with prices starting at just £5. Stunning that these extravagant Easter eggs are, we won’t blame you one iota if you decide to hide them away, well out of sight from the rest of the family who are bound to want to scoff a bit themselves. We think these eggs are mostly better suited to adult tastes, but there are a few sweeter options, which the kids will certainly have their eyes on too. We went on the hunt for the most delicious eggs out there, testing for taste as well as appearance (some of them look almost too good to eat).

The Long Weekend: La Donaira, a luxury equestrian farm in Andalusia
Located in the sweeping hills high above the town of Ronda, Finca La Donaira’s vistas look more like Saharan Africa than the south of Spain. With 250 hectares of farmland sprawled out in every direction, this organic farm and equestrian centre is a retreat from reality. Since 2006 the farmland has been revitalised and regenerated using sustainable techniques and it earns its eco-credentials. La Donaira is home to hundreds of horses, chickens and sheep, not to mention sprawling vegetable gardens, olive trees, a large vineyard and a medicinal herb garden that its head gardener will happily give you a tour of. The stay: We had the luxury of staying in one of La Donaira’s new yurts, opened last year to expand the farm’s occupancy to 26. There are also eight bedrooms in the main farmhouse – all of which are individually designed and feature their own unique quirks and feature pieces. The yurt itself was stunning, located away from the main farmhouse up rickety steps … [Read more...] about The Long Weekend: La Donaira, a luxury equestrian farm in Andalusia
