Last Drop Village Hotel

Advantages: Full usage of Spa, gym,pool
Disadvantages: Choice of food served in main restaurant

We have recently returned from our 3-day break at this hotel. After reading other reviews of this hotel we were very apprehensive about our stay. On our arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff and made to feel very welcome. We were given very clear details of the facilities available to us and also breakfast and dinner times. Our executive room was lovely , clean and warm and well worth the extra supplement. Great choice at breakfast and carvery ...
...Inn. In my opinion we have had a very pleasurable stay,staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.Glad to see that the small quaint shops were still to the rear of the hotel which are not mentioned on their website. In my opinion there website does not do the hotel justice and needs some updating. If you want to stay in a traditional hotel then this is the one surroundings are lovely. Overall we have had a very pleasurable stay. ...

Review of Macdonald Last Drop Village Hotel & Spa, Bolton

Great hotel

Advantages: lovely rooms, nice food and fab facilities
Disadvantages: none really

I recently stayed overnight at the chine hotel in Bournemouth whilst in the area for a friends wedding. It is currently rated as a three star hotel, but I cannot for the life of me see why as I found it to be of at least four star standard. There are 86 rooms, all of which incorporate an en suite bathroom and are decorated to a decent standard. All rooms include a hair dryer, trouser press, direct dial telephone, satellite television (selected channels ...
...There are four types of rooms available in relation to the view they offer the guests. The basic room is an inland room, then there is a garden facing room and finally the sea views and sea views with balcony (the prices are slightly higher for these). The hotel has a fantastic restaurant which serves breakfast and dinner daily (breakfast is accompanied in the room price; however you have to pay extra for the dinner if you want it - although it is ...

Review of Best Western Chine Hotel, Bournemouth

Weekend Away - Amazing location..

Advantages: Not far from Twycross Zoo - Excellent Zoo, stunning surroundings
Disadvantages: Unfriendly, rooms needed some care (a good clean or revamp)

£85 for the room - so guess we were expecting a little something special.. Staff - grumpy or sould I say very amateur. We stayed for 1 night with our 16 month old. Room up 3 flights of stairs, lift was not working - they never even told us there was a lift! Ok so there were 3 weddings going on - which I have to say made no difference to us, very quiet and no hassle. Walking along the coridoors the sofas really needed a good clean - entering our room ...
...a good scrub, bath was a tad on the grubby side - Shower was excellent, very powerful. Bed - you could definitely feel those springs and pillows were like pancakes. Carpet needed the cleaners in. Didnt even attempt the tea - coffee facilities. However it is in the most amazing surroundings. Oh we booked a non smoking room to be greetted with an ashtray. Breakfast ok - Waitress was on the night before and she tried to haggle on the supposed Free bottle ...

Review of Bosworth Hall Hotel, Market Bosworth

De-lightful and stunning venue!

Advantages: Excellent service, beautiful grounds, superb accommodation
Disadvantages: Not close to public transport access

...if you go to the De Vere website. After lunch we took and gentle stroll in the grounds, and were able to view parts of the golf course that are part of the complex. As we were only staying for a long weekend, we didn't get the chance to make use of the spa and pool, which looked fantastic, and we only briefly had the chance to make use of the spacious bar area. The only slightly negative point I would raise, is that it is not close to any public ...
...our stay directly through the De Vere website (www.devere.co.uk), and would advise to check under their "Offers" tab, as we found that they were offering 2 nights for the price 1 for the weekend we travelled, however given the wonderful level of service and standards we experienced, we would have no issues in booking this accommodation again, at the full price! ...

Review of De Vere Dunston Hall, Norwich

Ettington Chase, Im not running away!

Advantages: Big room, wonderful surroundings, great breakfast
Disadvantages: none

...We arranged to go to Ettington Chase as neither of us had visited Shakespeare country before and it looked nice in the brochure. I called them back and we arranged to go, I was also cheeky and asked if Megan would be free too as she would need a travel cot. They were absolutely fantastic and guaranteed us that would be no problem. So......... we went for the weekend (the weekend we wanted was available too) got to Ettington Chase and its set in ...
...is extremely generous, all the usual bits and bobs like a TV, kettle, bath/shower etc. They also use the most amazing mattress, mattress pads and pillows. They guarantee a great nights sleep and boy you really do get a great nights sleep. You can even buy them from reception if you want to! Our freebie also included breakfast, which was everything you could possibly imagine. Cooked breakfast, fresh tea and coffee, toast, cereal, yoghurt, fruit and ...
