Parade Park, Bath

A bit of luxury close to Bath and Longleat!

Advantages: Very nice hotel
Disadvantages: next door's extractor

I recently spent a mostly relaxing night at Homewood Park, which is a luxury hotel situated near to Bath. This hotel is a country house, built in 1832 and has just 19 bedrooms and is part of the Von Essen group of hotels. Now I haven't stayed at many, or maybe any hotels that have "helipad" as their list of other services in their very thickly embossed brochure, I am normally more of a travel inn or motel kind of girl, I chose to stay here as firstly I needed a bit of a treat and secondly as it was a last minute decision and we picked up a deal on laterooms.com. Our visit: Eschewing the helipad option we arrived by car, the hotel easily being found just off the A36, 7 miles from Bath and 10 miles from Longleat which was our reason for visiting the area. The hotel has 10 acres of parkland and lovingly tended and award ...

Review of Bath (England)

No rain on the 'Hit Parade.'

Advantages: Fully comprehensive - Jam/Style Council included; great music; well packaged; available for bargain prices
Disadvantages: does not include the original version of 'that's entertainment.' A real shame!

Released for the christmas market in 2006 and because Paul also won the BRIT award for outstanding contribution to British music that year, a comprehensive greates hits, including songs from the Jam and Style Council days, as well as Paul's solo career was needed. After all, the man Weller had managed a 30 year career! Universal released a single CD and a twin DVD (both also called 'Hit Parade') but in my opinion, the 4cd boxset "Hit Parade," which I am reviewing is the most superior. Firstly - if you like to be a comprehensive music fan - go for the 4 cd boxset. It is well worth the price. If you shop around, you can get hold of it for the same price as the solo CD (I did) and logic dictates, the 4 cd set is going to be more comprehensive than a single CD. The single CD is good but it contains 23 tracks, this 4 CD boxset has 64 ...
