Surrey

My ‘to do’ list tick-tocked through my mind. Emails, meetings, deadlines; presents to buy, friends to visit, appointments to sort. So much to do and so little time. How could I possibly relax and give in to the magic of the festive season with so much on my mind?
This pendulum of pressure was no match for Surrey’s Nutfield Priory Hotel and Spa.
Here is a hotel that exudes warmth and welcome. Stepping inside was like that post-Sunday lunch, ‘let’s all cosy up by the fire’ feeling, and that’s exactly what we did first.

Luxury Shopping
With Christmas nearly upon us it’s time to head to Guildford, the “luxury shopping capital of the UK”.
Guildford, as with most town centres, is gearing up for its busiest time of year; the countdown has begun to Christmas.
The difference being that this year if you head to this beautiful and historic county town of Surrey, to stock up on stocking fillers and treat your loved ones to gorgeous gifts, you can be safe in the knowledge that you will be shopping in the “luxury shopping capital of the UK”.

 
Yellow Metal - Water Crossing.
Perhaps not the most prestigious sounding of names; it sounds as though it could belong to a township in America’s sun-drenched south west, perhaps home to the ancestors of those who arrived from all over, desperate to seek their fortune in the famous Gold Rush of the mid-19th century.
