I don’t mind the Hilton Gatwick but always pick the newer area in the hotel; Hilton is generally not a patch on Sofitel though.

Have a good flight!
Yes it was really great. The Hilton isn’t growing on me, it is very hot! Not helping my insomnia.

Thank you all, currently got pre travel day insomnia. Also DH just texted to say our older dog is pacing the house and won’t go to sleep, he does not like me to go missing!

Good job you changed your flight Claudette. Just watching them talking about BA strikes now on the news. Safe journey.

Travel day: Virgin Club house

Arrived at the Clubhouse at about 9:30am. Very nice welcome and I was shown around as I have not been before. The food is all table service, I ordered a latte a Yuzu, lime and lemonade refresher and an eggs florentine.





The refresher is the clear drink on ice and was indeed very refreshing, the coffee was nice but my eggs florentine turned into an eggs royale with the spinach swapped for smoked salmon. I decided that was fine too and didn’t say anything. It was nice enough, nothing special, the muffin seemed a little stale. I do like it in here, much better than BA lounge at Gatwick. I have a pedicure booked in eight minutes.

UPDATE:

After my pedicure I decided to have another latte and second breakfast / early lunch. I picked the croque madame but served without the fried egg.



This took quite a long time to come out but two people came over to explain the grill was not working properly and hence the delay. It was a pleasant snack, the mustardy topping was very nice, although the toasts was a bit biscuity especially around the edges.

Edited at 11:38 AM.

Yes I was supposed to go on Saturday but couldn’t make it. And I am hopeless at applying my own polish!
