...of chocolates when you have a champagne one it in. This has a lovely subtle taste but you can definitely taste a bit of fizz in it. The outside is white chocolate coated with a dark chocolate on top. 4. Cappuccino ? I like anything with a coffee taste and these chocolates do not disappoint. They are covered with a white chocolate and are in a round shape. Inside coffee and double cream are mixed together and then on top the white chocolate is sprinkled with chocolate powder. Lovely and rich and tasty. I could go on and on about the chocolates and I would say there are really no bad ones in the selection. From lemon, to vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, Viennese truffles and now new Chocolate Riche, Cherry Truffle and Hazelnut slice there really is something for everyone. Like I said above you can by the Continental Selection box in a number... Read review

...I have 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.

...A recent trip to Plymouth meant I needed to book a hotel for the night for me and my partner - but due to low funds it needed to be something cheap and cheerful. Enter the local Travelodge. I have to admit to having never stayed in a Travelodge before, but had heard that they were a cheap alternative. ~~Price~~ I have to say that I was quite shocked at how much one night would cost as I have stayed in cheaper and more luxurious places than this before. Unfortunately we couldn?t find a room anywhere else in Plymouth for that night due to various events that were taking place in the city. The Travelodge we eventually looked at didn?t have any standard double rooms available so we had to go with the family room which ended up costing us £79! I have to say these are not the type of prices I am used to hearing people quote when... Read review
