North Lakes - A Shire Hotel & Spa, Penrith

Whittlebury Hall Hotel and Spa

Advantages: Pleasant staff, facilities, closeness to Silverstone
Disadvantages: Remoteness

the buffet as many times as you like. However, it can be difficult to get served tea/coffee. Quite a few times I've had to go without because I've been running late and not able to get a responsive member of staff to serve me. The hotel markets itself as being a spa and corporate events hotel and also makes a lot of the fact that it is located very close to Silverstone race course. I sometimes feel that there's a bit of a contradiction between being a spa and a corporate events hotel. I remember being at the hotel on Valentine's Day a couple of years ago while on a course and there were lots of couples who were staying there on one of their spa deals - most of the couples weren't particularly appreciative of the fact that they were sharing their fine dining experience with several tables of rowdy twenty somethings taking advantage of the free ...

Review of Whittlebury Hall Hotel & Spa, Towcester

North stafford hotel

Advantages: Close to town centre,20 mins from alton towers
Disadvantages: None

to choose from,and with alton towers being a mere 20 minute drive away it was perfect. It was called the north stafford hotel and it was situated opposite stoke on trent train station,which I imaging would be ideal for those arriving buy train. The hotel boasts 88 bedrooms and is one of many britannia hotels On arriving we parked our car in the car park outside the hotel were there was plenty of spaces to choose from,but my hubby was fretful of leaving his baby there all night but his mind was soon put at ease when we were told there was 24 hour cctv on the car park. Entering the hotel I was quite taken aback by how grand this hotel looked,it was very clean and the staff seemed pleasant. After checking in swiftly, we were given the option of a smoking/non smoking room,and told what times breakfast was served from in ...

Review of North Stafford Hotel, Stoke-on-Trent

The Felbridge Hotel & Spa Hotel

Advantages: Stunning decor, exceptional food, polite, friendly staff
Disadvantages: None

Situated in East Grinstead, West Sussex this hotel is counted as a Gatwick Airport Hotel. Compared to all the other Gatwick hotels and all other hotels I have stayed in, this has to be one of the best. The hotel has recently been taken over in the last year and gone through a 5 million pound refurbishment taking the hotel and spa to 4* Deluxe Status from its previous 2* rating. I did not visit the hotel when it was previously owned so cannot compare. I drive past this hotel every day and it always catches my eye, it looks really nice. I first went into the hotel to take a look at the spa. When I went in the whole hotel was spotless, the staff on reception were very polite and helpful and directed me to spa. ~~~~~~~~~ Reception ~~~~~~~~~ This is the first thing you see when you walk through the revolving doors into ...
