A good night to all.

Advantages: In city centre, large comfortable rooms good breakfast
Disadvantages: poor parking, small towels!

I stayed for one night with my wife when attending a friend's wedding which was held here. we had a special wedding price of £85 inc. breakfast which was very reasonable when you consider the normal price is £160!. We booked over the phone and the staff were very helpful, confirmation arrived in the post a couple of days later including directions and facilities, this is when we learnt of the parking. There are 30 spaces at the hotel at a cost of ...
...they go quite quickly. If you don't get a space there a map showing other available car parks close by is shown, although the prices aren't given. Check in is after 2 pm and we arrived at 3 the staff were very friendly and although it was very busy they were very attentive to detail. My credit card was pre-authorised for £30 more than the cost of the room and we took a lift to the 1st floor room. The room was fairly large and well set out with ...

Review of Thistle Exeter Rougemont Hotel, Exeter

Plymouth Copthore Hotel

Advantages: Great Location
Disadvantages: More of a Good 3* Hotel than a 4* Hotel.

...mixed views on the Plymouth Copthorne Hotel. I have stayed here numerous times, and have experienced a variety of services from "average" to "good". Official details about the hotel (and booking rates) can be found here: http://www.benbow.org.uk/CopthornePlymouth.htm First of all, I have never had a "bad" experience in the Copthorne. There have been times where an issue arose, but this was then sorted out by the front desk staff. Saying that, the ...
...so the rate at the Copthorne isn't that bad. It is located at the top end of the town. This means it is great to explore Plymouth - the shopping is on your doorstep, and Plymouth Hoe and Barbican are about a 10 minute walk away. It is also away from the bars/pubs that are at the lower end of town, so noise disturbance is surprisingly low for a town center hotel. When you check out, you are more than welcome to leave bags at reception for the rest ...

Review of Copthorne Plymouth, Plymouth

Southgate Hotel Exeter, home from home

Advantages: Within short walking distance of centre, friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere
Disadvantages: Bar pricey and lounge area needs refurbished

I have had the pleasure of staying at this hotel for an extended period last year. Whilst the hotel is due for major refurbishment, the only area this showed was the lounge bar area (flooring). The lounge is comfortable, fabulous large comfy settees, the staff are amazing and cant do enough for you. Drinks tend to be pricey and the bar menu is limited, although the restaurant serves a lovely evening meal and breakfasts to die for. The continental ...
...of full breakfast, which is normally very good, though during the week can be a bit slow dependent on your choice of breakfast time. The hotel seems to cater mostly for business people during the week , weekends, older couples and wedding parties. The rooms are a good size and all have ensuite (they even have volume controls so you can listen to the TV or radio in the bath!!) Good selection of "smellies" in the bathroom too, with clean fresh towels ...

Review of Macdonald Southgate Hotel, Exeter

A stunning hotel perfect for weddings

Advantages: Beautiful building and grounds
Disadvantages: Disabled access is poor

Boringdon Hall is an amazing old 16th century manor house with links to Henry the VIII. In March 1989 part of the house was burnt down in a tragic fire and a lot of money was put into it to restore it back to its former glory. It is surrounded by 7acres of beautiful gardens and looks like something you would see in a period drama. It has 41 bedrooms and this includes 4 rooms with stunning four poster beds. Boringdon Hall not only hosts wedding but ...
...recently had their reception at Boringdon Hall so we thought we'd take a look. It was about 10 minutes away from our parish church so thought it would be ideal if we liked it. We drove to Plympton and it was sign posted from the main road which was very handy as we weren't entirely sure where it was even though we were both 'born and bred' Plymouthians. There was a long driveway which headed up to the building which was shaded by trees which we ...

Review of Boringdon Hall Hotel, Plymouth

Perfect for business and pleasure

Advantages: Quality rooms, great food and endless facilities
Disadvantages: None

The Palace Hotel is a magnificent building set on the edge of the Torquay seafront. I went the stay there as part of a company team building weekend and it was fantastic. The ground and facilities, not to mention the bar, helped us to have a really fun filled time. We went round their golf course, play tennis and went swimming most days. Sadly we had to have one or two conferences during the few days but everything else about the hotel made up for ...
