What we thought

We’re huge coffee fans here at Camping with Style, so it’s always great to get to try something new. As well as drip coffee (which is ideal for travel), we also like coffee bags and have tried several over the past few years.

Coffee bags are like large tea bags and they work in the same way. Pop them in your mug, pour in just off the boil water and leave to steep for a few minutes. They are compact, hassle-free and easy to use which makes them super versatile and particularly well suited for travel.

We took some with us on a recent staycation down to Cornwall and drank it pretty much every day for a week. I always drink my coffee black and strong and whilst Lola’s House Blend has a slightly mellower flavour than I would usually go for, the aroma was rich and the flavour was good.

I think this is a coffee that is somewhere in the middle in terms of strength and body and so is likely to appeal to a wide range of people. 6 Coffee bags cost £5, so Lola’s is definitely what I’d consider a premium coffee. The price does drop if you buy in bulk (the website is largely aimed at the wholesale hospitality market), and you have the option of buying anything from 6 bags to 12 cases (that’s 1,200 coffee bags!) on their website.

One of the interesting services that The Specialty Coffee Company provides is white-label coffee, so businesses can have their own branding on their coffee. For hotels, high-end glamping sites and luxury self-catering lodges, we think this would be a really cool touch!

Final say

Although Lola’s House Blend didn’t pack as big a punch as I usually like from my coffee, it has a nice rounded flavour that’s likely to appeal to most, and coffee bags are so easy and versatile to use, making them ideal for travel and they are head and shoulders above the ubiquitous sachet of freeze-dried sadness provided at so many hotels!

WELLBEING | Getting Crafty (and mindful!) With A Crochet Class at Black Sheep Wools

Image
I’ve always been a bit creative and have enjoyed making things. From drawing and writing short stories to knitting and needle felting, I’ve always had something crafty and creative on the go, that was up until a few years ago when I found I was suddenly relentlessly busy all the time and all my creative pursuits fell by the wayside. Recently I decided to make a change and to create a little space each week for new creative endeavours and I had a hunch too that it would help me to rest more and feel calmer. I dabbled with knitting a few years ago and never progressed past straight lines. All I’d previously managed to get my head around was casting on, a simple knit stitch and casting off. In early January this year I decided that things needed to change, so I challenged myself to learn how to follow a simple knitting pattern and also, to learn to crochet. The link between mindfulness and crafting One of the best things about knitting and crochet is that they are highly portable c

GEAR | Shower In A Can Is The Ideal Festival, Wild Camping & Backpacking Companion – Review

Image
What is it? Shower in a Can £9.99 A no-rinse dry shower foam with antibacterial properties that promises to leave you feeling clean and fresh without the need for water. Stockists Amazon.co.uk shower-in-a-can.co.uk I’ve always been a little dubious about products like this, but when I tried Shower in a Can for the first time last year I was amazed at how effective it was and that it really did leave me feeling much cleaner. Ahead of a wild camping trip I got my hands on another bottle of it, and oh boy did it come in handy! The verdict There’s one undeniable truth about camping, especially wild camping or camping at a site with poor facilities, and it’s that staying clean can sometimes pose a bit of a challenge. I camp a lot during the summer months, spending days at a time in my tent and getting hot and sweaty is unavoidable. Whilst many campsites do have a shower block, I do sometimes camp in places where access to showers isn’t possible or the showers aren’t

TRAVEL | A September Staycation at Sandymouth Bay Holiday Resort, Bude Cornwall

Image
After lockdown restrictions lifted we decided to book a UK getaway, choosing our preferred holiday time of mid-September and crossed our fingers hoping that the Cornish weather gods would be kind to us… Where we stayed Sandymouth Bay Holiday Resort Darwin Escapes Stibb Bude Cornwall EX23 9HW Overall Rating (4.5 / 5) The reception at Sandymouth Bay Holiday Resort Accommodation & facilities Check in was quick and easy and our accommodation was available early for us. Due to Covid-19 check in had changed to 5pm and checkout to a much-too-early 9am, so when we arrived after a long drive just before 4pm, we were relieved to find our caravan was available. First impressions of the site and facilities were good. Everything looked modern, clean and well designed and finding our caravan was easy, with parking very close by. From the outside, the first thing we noticed was the lack of outside seating, which we did find a little strange, but inside the carav
