Sunday night at Babington House, Somerset, England

Guest rooms at Babington House....the hotel is made up of lots of separate 'houses', giving the feel of a mini luxury village 

Wandering over to the Cowshed Spa 

Outdoor bathtubs for some guest rooms

Lovely morning and a lovely outlook from our room

The bar area, such a relaxed vibe 

Such beautiful grounds 

A stroll around the lake in the grounds

Restaurant review: Gonca, Torba, Bodrum Peninsula, Turkey. Dinner: Saturday 14th July 2012

What's the Curbappeal?
- relaxed setting on the beach & right by the sea - you can almost feel the water lapping up around your feet
- colourful seating; bright red & blue wooden chairs contrasts beautifully against the golden sand & the bright turquoise sea
- little lanterns hanging between the pine trees transform the restaurant into a romantic dining spot in the evening

Crowd: all types; groups, couples & families

Cuisine: fresh seafood

Food rating: amazing. Fish tasted so fresh, some of best fish we've ever had

The bill: when we sat down we weren't given a menu, instead we were shown the fish available & pointed to what we fancied (this seemed to be the norm at fish restaurants around here). Given the amazing quality, we thought we might get stung with a huge bill, but this wasn't the case, we'd have gladly paid more for this divine food & the setting

Recommended: Most definitely. Gonca is THE fish restaurant to dine at in Torba. Staying in Torba & not dining here would be a disaster!

With Love,
