The perfect romantic getaway

Advantages: Beautiful rooms, great service
Disadvantages: Expensive

...never paid to stay at the Chester Grosvenor myself - but have stayed here for business for at least 6 weeks per year for the past 5 years. Value for money it isnt but if you are not paying then enjoy the ride! The hotel is centrally located in the middle of Chester - if you are driving to the hotel then you have to navigate a slightly confusing one way system but having won that challenge you park in the NCP carpark (free for hotel residents). You ...
...The staff cannot do enough for you - reception, down on the ground floor is always manned - the doorman wears a top hat but he always smiles and says hello. Reception staff are friendly and welcoming - they are always happy to recommend restaurants or activities to do in Chester. The hotel decor is old fashioned - like an English country house but it has recently been done. The bedrooms have a modern twist - comfortable super king sized beds, attractive ...

Review of The Chester Grosvenor, Chester

A mock medieval marvel

Advantages: Beautiful surroundings
Disadvantages: value for money

Introduction: From the outside, Bailiffscourt appears to be a numer of low medieval buildings, some thatched and some tiled. However, all is not as it seems - the hotel was actually built in 1927 by the late Sir Walter Guinness (Lord Moyne) as a family retreat using original stone, woodwork and gothic mullioned windows gathered from all over England (and all to stop the local council from building a housing estate near the family home!). The hotel ...
...very atmospheric! Health Spa: Bailiffscourt now has a Health Spa in the grounds of the hotel with indoor and outdoor pools, steam room, sauna, outdoor Californian-style hot tub and integrated indoor Jacuzzi (I haven't tried these facilities yet but will be making full use of them on my next visit!) The spa offers a number of treatments to pamper yourself although as I believe the spa is also open to the general public it is probably best to book ...

Review of Bailiffscourt Hotel, Climping

Whittlebury, somewhere to whittle a few luxurious hours away

Advantages: Excellent value, great food, comfotatble rooms and pleasant helpful staff
Disadvantages: We kept getting lost but that was prabably our uselessness!

WHERE IS THIS? Whittlebury Hall, Whittlebury, Nr Towcester, Northamptonshire, NN12 8QH. This is a hotel, Management Training Centre, leisure centre and day spa as well as a golf course. It is just near Silverstone racetrack so I suspect it might get busy when there is a big race there so this might be a time to avoid. I booked through Lastminute.com but then I did phone the hotel directly after booking in order to find out more about the spa and ...
...I would thoroughly recommend Whittlebury Hall hotel and spa as I felt it was fantastic value for money. There are a number of packages on offer besides the one I bought on Lastminute.com and over the Christmas and New Year period they are offering stays including dinner and breakfast for £49 per person per night which at the time of year is amazing value. If you are interested then this is the link to the hotel website: http://www.whittleburyhall.co.uk/Index.asp ...

Come to Clumber!

Advantages: Beautiful Scenery
Disadvantages: Gets quite busy and unruly dogs!

Living only 5 miles from Clumber Park (I know, how lucky am I?) I have been here more times than I remember. However every time I go back I love it more and more. Admittedly some days it gets very busy and some people aren't very considerate when it comes to dogs or cycling, however the physical Clumber Park is stunning. It is very diverse, with acres and acres of dense woodland, formal gardens, farm land, the huge beautiful lake, the heathland and ...
...cycle hire, fishing & horse riding (both bring your own!), the large Glass House, the Chapel and the Kitchen Gardens. Car parking I believe is £3.00 as it is a National Trust property, however living locally I access the park through the tiny village of Carburton which means there is never the danger of the gates being locked whilst we are still inside! The walk around the lake is approx 5 miles and takes myself and the Dog approx 90 mins - 2hours, ...

Review of Clumber Park, Worksop

A Good nights sleep

Advantages: Good bedroom for price
Disadvantages: No lounge area

...and decided to try the Premier Inn website as they had places close to the motorway and close to where we were going for the party. My sister-in-laws comment when we said were we were staying was “You know what to expect when you stay there!” This worried me, but she said you’ll see what I mean. We booked online very easily and no money was exchanged, but paperwork came via email which we printed off and presented at check in. The Inn is just ...
...night guarantee really matters to Premier and if you have any problems that they can't sort out you to ensure a good nights sleep you will get your money back. Breakfast was excellent, it cost £7.50 for a full breakfast and we could help ourselves to fruit, cereals and juices, plus great coffee. The orders were taken for cooked breakfast and cooked to order, which meant a slight wait but your breakfast was freshly cooked and hot. I think there was ...
