Rockliffe Hall – Hotel review
My review of the luxury 5 star hotel Rockliffe Hall.
About Me
I am a 22 year old journalist working as an apprentice Broadcast Assistant at Times Radio four days a week whilst I study toward my NCTJ.
Previously, I was at Time Out, where I worked across news, travel, features about Gen Z, and social media. I was also a regular contributor to various BBC Radio stations discussing music and youth culture. In 2025, I also graduated from Bristol University with a BA in Film & TV and English literature.
I'm always up for a chat, so get in touch email me at annierosamac@icloud.com, or annie.mcnamee@times.radio for work related inquiries. Alternatively, message me via any social media, linked below.

The best live music venues in Glasgow
If people make Glasgow, music is what fuels it. The city's music scene was thriving long before the rest of it had caught up, with places like the Barrowlands and the Old Fruit Market offering locals good, cheap live music when general attitudes of Glasgow were, let's just say, less than favourable.
‘You want me to destroy the hills?’: Count Binface is ready to serve Bristol
He’s conquered galaxies and beaten fascists, but now Count Binface is embarking on his most difficult challenge yet: coming bin-to-face with the British general public.
RIP the fake ID: why young people aren’t going out
You remember the days. Assuring your friend that she looks like her older cousin’s co-worker, especially with a ponytail in. Hovering awkwardly around the corner from the off-license as your one 18-year-old pal does God’s work for the rest of you. The pit in your tummy as you recite a fake birthday to the bouncer of a sticky-floored nightclub – remembering your star sign, memorising your imaginary postcode – and the elated relief when he lets you in with a raised eyebrow and a reluctant nod.

Olivia Rodrigo GUTS World Tour review – the voice of Gen Z girlhood
Perhaps it’s that she, at only 21 years old, still talks like a young girl, asking the crowd if they’re a Pisces and claiming that trading a fan a guitar pick for a one-inch tall Sylvanian Families mouse is “literally the best thing ever”. Perhaps it’s her ability to put voice to universal experiences like heartbreak, jealousy, and betrayal with stark honesty. Or perhaps it’s just the fact that she’s not a very good dancer.
