Hercule Poirot would love the results

Advantages: : A chance to relive Art Deco life in modern surroundings
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Expensive This review is about the rise, fall and rise again of the incredible Midland Hotel in Morecambe. I do not apologise at all for the long history of this hotel because I feel it has an important part to play. The story of this hotel - which once featured in a Poirot TV programme is worthy of a programme in its own right and goes back a long way. When the present art deco style Midland Hotel opened in 1933 it took the place of an earlier ...
...contained forty bedrooms. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company owned the Midland Hotel and in the late 1920's they decided to replace the building with a more modern structure. In January 1932 it approved plans for a new hotel to be built on the seafront at a cost of just under £72, 000. Architect Oliver Hill was asked to provide the railway company with "a building of international quality in the modern style". Oliver Hill was trained ...

Review of The Midland Hotel, Morecambe

Holm House

Advantages: Outstanding luxury, outstanding food
Disadvantages: Price, no kids(but is that a disadvantage?)

...wife and I stayed at Holm house in July 2008 for our wedding anniversary. It was a fantastic, long weekend of indulgence and luxury. The emphasis is most definitely on quality. At roughly midnight on the evening before we arrived, I remembered that I hadn't ordered any flowers for my better half. An e-mail and 10 minutes later, and job done. A member of staff had returned my e-mail and informed me he would personally get some flowers when the florist ...
...Somehow, the staff at Holm house just know the "right" amount to leave everything. We had nearly finished our drinks and the canapes, which were excellent, had been devoured, when we were taken through to the dinning room. The standard of decoration in the dinning room was even higher than it had been in our room. Everything from the flock wallpaper by Osborne and Little to the pristine Wedgwood china was perfect. I was nearly speechless when I ...

Review of Holm House, Penarth

Oh what a night

Advantages: It had many good areas to visit surrounding the hotel
Disadvantages: The noise levels and some dirty areas in the room

...I found the Travelodge hotel which is in a nice location and very easy to find. You have this tower feature which is propelled from the building into the air to sort of give you a signal that is where the hotel is. I walked in at 7pm in the evening and I asked for the cheapest room they had available for me for a single night. I was given a price of £45 and this was apparently a saver deal for a single room. They only gave me this price because they ...
...told at the desk did I want a breakfast box for the morning and I had no idea what this was. It contained a smoothie drink something fruity, a flapjack bar, cereal in a box, Pg Tips or Kenco depending on your own preference and a piece of fruit was also given, this was an additional £4.50 on top of the price. This was waiting outside my room the following morning for me to enjoy inside my very own room. As I approached the lift to the first floor ...

Review of Travelodge Milton Keynes Central, Milton Keynes

Cardigan 25, Quay West Holiday Park, New Quay, Wales. Nick Meaney

Advantages: Nice Clean Holiday Park
Disadvantages: Park And Local Town On A Slope, So Not Good For Disabled.

...plight. He told us that Haven have nothing to do with private bookings and he couldn't help. I also wrote to Stuart Williams after our telephone conversation and asked him to pass a separate letter onto Nick Meaney and Claire Davies for us, which he agreed to do. I rang Stuart Williams later that week and he confirmed that he had received the letter and would pass it on. We have never had any acknowledgement of this letter from Nick Meaney and ...
...on to us !!! This all just confirms that they NEVER had any intention of returning our money. P.S. If you are considering booking a privately owned caravan on a Haven Holiday Park, just remember, if anything goes wrong, you are on your own, Haven will not support you. ...

Oakleigh Guest House

Advantages: A warming, pleasant atmosphere with spotless rooms and good service
Disadvantages: Decor not particularly modern

...couple of rooms at the Oakleigh Guest House as I had heard good reviews on the place from friends. ~Location~ Oakleigh Guest House is situated right in the heart of Stourport on Severn town centre so is in a perfect location to access all the local amenities. However it is situated far enough away from the main High Street so that you don’t get the noise from the pubs on a Friday and Saturday Night. The guest house is situated on York Street ...
...area, then you can’t beat Oakleigh Guest House. A family run long standing business where customer service is excellent and the standard of the rooms and breakfast is very good. Transport links are good and rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. I recommend this place highly. ~Contact Details~ Telephone: 01299 877568 Fax: 01299 822427 WWW.OAKLEIGHGUESTHOUSE.CO.UK 17 York Street, Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire, DY13 9EE. ...
