Advantages: lovely views with quality accommodation Disadvantages: small ensuite, not the cheapest
We recently visited this hotel for the third time in seven years. Over this time the ownership has changed but the service and overall hotel experience has not. Our first visit was back in 1999 when my husband proposed to me so it has very fond memories for us both and our recent visit included our two year old son. For the purpose of this review, I will base it on my recent visit only unless stated otherwise.
*** HOTEL OVERVIEW ***
Rated three RAC stars, the Georgian hotel is set in two acres of Derbyshire hillside and has spectacular views over Derwent Valley. Built back in the 1750's, the hotel boasts to have been visited by Queen Victoria when she was a princess as well as Lord Byron.
*** LOCATION ***
It is very easy to find. The hotel is situated just off the A6 on the south side of Matlock Bath in Derbyshire. Turn off ...
Advantages: Great Location In Bath Disadvantages: Parking is expensive in Bath
We live near Bath anyway, and have often walked past The Francis Hotel. We decided to do a local weekend break in Bath (and have a few bevvies in the evening!). Note that it is now a "Mercure" Hotel and not a "Macdonald" Hotel.
If you are after a cheap bargain, then book The Francis via the following website as it's £35 cheaper than the mercure hotels official website: www.benbow.org.uk/francis.htm
The Francis is ideally located in the center of Bath. I don't think you can get any closer. There are numerous restaurants around the corner, and the theatre is nearby. The main shopping streets of Bath are really only a couple of minutes away (although i'd allow a good few hours to browse them).
The Francis itself overlooks a small park square. Quite often they have a french travelling market located here. The rooms are very good ...
Advantages: Amazing views, Great history, lots to see and do. Disadvantages: parking!! too many tourists in the summer.
- Historical interests and stories
~ THE BAD ~
- Parking!!!!!
- Number of shoppers
I hope you will come and visit Bath if you haven?t already, I would recommend a trip so you can see and explore the City of history. It has great shops, nice places to eat and lovely hotels. It is at it's best in the summertime when you can enjoy boat trips and just sit in the crescent or Parade Gardens. Thank you for reading.
