Accommodation: Mercure Telford, Madeley Court
Another late arrival on a Friday night due to work commitments found us in Telford at around 10pm. The hotel itself looked beautiful, but unfortunately that’s the only good thing about this hotel. We checked in to our room, which was perfectly adequate, then went to get a drink from the bar before bed.

On the Sunday morning, we decided to take a quick drive in to Coventry for breakfast, seeing as how poor the Ibis breakfast was; we stopped off at The Earl of Mercia, a Wetherspoons in the centre, not far from the cathedrals. The breakfast here was much better than at the hotel, very filling, preparing us for the day ahead!

Accommodation: Ibis, Coventry South
For the August Bank Holiday, we set off from home after work and dinner on the Friday night, arriving in Coventry fairly late on. The hotel wasn’t at all what we expected, and was more of a motel, with rooms leading straight in to the open air. It was a little like Bates Motel from Psycho, but luckily we weren’t in a room next to the reception.

Our stay in York was coming to an end, Thursday was check-out day, and we reluctantly left the room to make our way home. One last stop on the way though; Harrogate.
We got to Harrogate just before 11am, and again it was a beautifully sunny day. The entire area looked so nice, we couldn’t help but look at the prices of the houses; all far too expensive for us!

On Wednesday, we woke up, had our usual full-English breakfast downstairs at the hotel restaurant, got ready for the day and set off on our adventures. On this day, we travelled North to Whitby, through the North Yorkshire Moors, arriving late morning. The moors were beautiful in the morning, it was like driving through a background from Sharpe or Poldark.
