Village Hotel in Farnborough
by triangletravel

The Village Hotel in Farnborough is part of the De Vere group and is one of their premier properties. The design of the building is amazing and it is just behind Farnborough  Airport. On walking into the property, you have the restaurant to the left and Starbucks and the “pub” to the right. The main selling point of the hotel is the leisure facilities and the over sized pool and Jacuzzi, steam room and Sauna. Kids are allowed in the pool at certain times, but these ti...

Unique Cities – Oberstdorf, Germany
by triangletravel

In our search for unique cities, we have stumbled across the German city of Oberstdorf. Oberstdorf is a small town in the Allgau region of Southern Germany. It is very popular with winter sports enthusiasts, but it is mainly tourists from Germany itself and the surrounding countries you will find here; it does seem to be off the radar for most UK tourists who head for the larger French, Swiss and Austrian resorts. It is a three hour train journey from Munich airport an...

Everest in Style – Trekking in comfort
by triangletravel

I would suggest that the true efficiency of a (travel) company can only be judged when something goes wrong – and how spectacularly that did during our recent holiday.  I had never booked with Explore! before but was very taken with the title and summary details as shown in their brochure.  Triangle Travel assured me they were both a highly-regarded and caring company, so I signed up for a 12-day trip to Nepal : visiting Kathmandu and trekking towards Everest and back...

Young Island – St Vincent & The Grenadines
by triangletravel

My destination was Young Island, a private island 400 metres off the coast of St. Vincent & The Grenadines. It’s so laid back on the Island that you actually feel a million miles away from any other civilization, although the modern comforts cater well for your every need. The accommodation is set along the side of the island through rainforest (120 steps to mine, offering amazing views of Bequia and Mustique) and the rustic cottages offer complete privacy and esca...

Travel to Bequia – Before the crowds arrive
by triangletravel

Travel to Bequia before the crowds arrive is my top tip for 2012. Landing on the island of Bequia was an experience to say the least; such a small runway, it looked no different to a main road here! The airport was a small building with one man welcoming us off the plane, before running in to check our passports, before running over to become the customs officer! We grabbed our bags and climbed aboard our open air taxi truck. My first impression was how green and hilly...
