Our first hotel of the tour was the Feathers in Ledbury - We stayed in the Nell Gwynn Suite

It was raining when we set off on Tuesday morning, with a destination of Portmerion via Ludlow (coffee stop) and Palle Hall for lunch (gave lunch a miss and just had a coffee)

The sun started shining, so the roof came down and the sidescreens came off, and stayed that way for the rest of the week. (Apart from overngiht parking)

I was confused as to which of the 2 hotels at Portmerion we were booked into for the night - Either Hotel Portmeirion OR Castell Deudraeth.
No wonder I was confused - we were staying in neither! We were actually staying in the "Salutation Suite" - One of the houses within the village.

We had the upper floor of this yellow building

Wednesday morning saw us leaving Portmerion to Broadway in the Cotswolds, with a couple of coffee stops on the way, one of which was The Bear Inn in Hodenet, Market Drayton.

We were booked into the Lygon Arms Hotel

On booking in, we were told we had a free upgrade smile - to the "King Charles Suite"


That night we dined in "The Grill" - A James Martin Restaurant at the hotel.

On Thursday 22nd June we had a pleasant few hours tootling round the Cotswolds before handing the car back at Morgan Motors.
In the showroom there was a stunningly beautiful MY23 Plus Four that even swmbo said it was gorgeous and asked me about the price..... We decided to leave it in the showroom - £87,259.80p (maybe I could negotiate the 80p off it...?)
