As well as taking the reins of The Coniston's three dining outlets; The View Restaurant, Macleod's Bar & Lounge and Blossom Kitchen, Katherine is looking forward to training with the younger team members, as well as working alongside their fantastic brigade of chefs to curate an incredible dining offering that will really put The Coniston firmly on the local dining map.

To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations.
