Farthings Hotel and Restaurant, Taunton

Hôtel Restaurant La Flambée -dine in style but bedrooms plain.

Advantages: Beautiful dining room
Disadvantages: Bedrooms adequate but not elegant.

We stayed at the Hôtel Restaurant La Flambée in Bergerac in November 2008 for two nights and enjoyed breakfast and dinner. What follows is an honest account as possible about the hotel as I can provide. Hopefully this may help if you are planning to visit this part of the world. We flew to Bordeaux but the most convenient airport for the hotel is actually in Bergerac as the hotel lies about 2 miles outside the town. Incase you are not familiar with this part of the world these places are in the main wine growing areas, and are in South West France. Flying time from the UK is about an hour and a half if you are flying from the London areas. Easyjet will take you to Bordeaux from Luton, likewise British Airways will fly you from Gatwick, and Ryanair will fly you from Stansted to Bergerac. This area is great as it is possible to use as ...

Review of Hotel Restaurant La Flambee, Bergerac

The hotel with Royal connections

Advantages: Location, history, friendly owners
Disadvantages: Not open in winter

of the hotels. Ballater has 9 hotels, 8 guest houses, 9 B&Bs, 25 self catering sites, 2 campsites, 2 caravan sites but no hostels. You could always phone her majesty if you get stuck, I?m sure she?d have a spare room at Balmoral to ?shack up?!! Although it can get cold here in the winter, in summer the Cairngorm mountains shelter Ballater & give it a rather pleasant climate. Ballater has 17 restaurants; some are listed below, one bank with an ATM, one Post Office & a medical centre. The biggest events in Ballater include Victoria week, Ballater Highland Games (The Queen attends the Breamar games in September) & Royal Deeside walking week. RESTAURANTS INCLUDE: La Mangiatoia, rustic Italian restaurant open daily, tel 01339 755999. The Auld Kirk, stylish restaurant open daily, tel 01339 755762, www.theauldkirk.com The Darroch ...

Review of Pannanich Wells Hotel and Piggies Restaurant, Ballater

The Cadbury Connection

Advantages: Relaxing and Exceptional Food
Disadvantages: Limited Facilities

an excellent website www.bestwestern.co.uk that regularly has some extremely good deals. Often 3 nights for two. At the moment there is a 2 nights for 1 offer on selected hotels, it ends on the 28th of February. There are 290 hotels in the chain, the offer applies to 120 of them, I don't think it applies to Rumwell Manor. There is also a central booking number for all Best Western Hotels 08457 747474 Rumwell Manor is located just under two and a half miles from Taunton. If you stay here you either need a car or be able to rely on taxis. I spent three days here whilst in Taunton on business. Rumwell Manor was chosen more by luck than judgment (the other side were staying at the Castle - the local 4*). So I and a colleague stayed at Rumwell Manor. We travelled by Train to Taunton and used taxis to and from the hotel. It is a lovely hotel. It even ...
