Regal Cove Hideaway
The desk

Our authors

Two writers. Ordinary rooms. Notes taken after the lights go out. Regal Cove Hideaway publishes only what they can stand behind from a real stay.

Isla Petrov

City-break correspondent

Isla always books the ordinary room, never the showcase suite, to see the real experience. Her pieces stay factual and balanced — reviewer-first, honest about the good and the meh.

She favours short sentences, clear trade-offs, and the details travellers actually search for at midnight: noise, light, and whether she would send a friend.

Nathan Ashcroft

Family-travel reviewer

Nathan reviews everywhere from quiet coastal retreats to busy city landmarks. His voice stays bright and enthusiastic — upbeat, vivid, full of holiday excitement and sensory detail.

He notices the small kindnesses at reception, the colour of morning light on the duvet, and whether a place still feels welcoming after a long drive.
