My holidays: Danny Bhoy

Danny Bhoy.

Best holiday ever?
When I was 8 years old we took a family holiday to the Spanish island of Majorca. It was a classic cheap holiday package and we stayed in a "hotel" that flouted just about every health and safety code in the book. But, it had a pool and free donkey rides, so nothing else mattered, really.

Where is your next holiday?
I travel so much that, when I have time off, I tend to stay at home, so I guess my next holiday is at my house in Edinburgh. It is ideal, really. I don't need to queue at check-in, internet is free, and my mini bar and laundry is far more reasonably priced.

Best anti-jetlag tip?
After literally years of research, I still haven't found this out. I know for sure that copious amounts of alcohol on the flight is definitely not the answer.

Favourite city to visit?
I would have to say London. As soon as I step off the train at Kings Cross station I feel giddy with excitement and possibility. I more or less studied comedy there. And, although I don't live there any more, I still feel like it is the place where I spent the most interesting times of my life. And I still seem to discover something new every time I visit.

Best get-away-from-it-all place to escape to?

There is a national park in Scotland known as the Trossachs, which incorporates the legendary Loch Lomond. It is a beautiful part of the country. I head up to a place called Inveraray which gave me many happy memories as a child. My uncle owns a bar/restaurant called The George Hotel, a magically atmospheric place, especially at Christmas.

Please describe your ideal money-no-object dream holiday.
I don't really think that the more money you spend on a holiday equates to the better the experience (please refer to first answer). I'm not really a beach kind of guy. So, I prefer a short city break in Europe, where I can rub my chin at local museums and galleries, and pretend to know what I'm looking at.
