Excellent w/e at Belton Woods, Grantham
Advantages: Location, everything all on site Disadvantages: None that we could see
Although this hotel was recommended to us by a friend, after reading the online reviews, we were somewhat apprehensive. We need not have worried, we had a surprisingly relaxing weekend with our 2 children,12 and 7 yrs old. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate in Stantons on the first evening and had a lovely 3 course meal, the waiters knew their menu and any changes we wanted to make were no problem at all. The family room was a reasonable ... ...would expect to find and more. We used the pool and spa facilities - at half term and on a weekend there are family splash times for an hour in the morning and afternoon, where floats and balls etc are put out for children to use, these are cleared away very quickly at the end of the hour and the pool becomes more peaceful. Although the hotel seemed very busy with outside events ( at least 2 weddings taking place) this didn't alter the level of service, ...

All this from a Hotel?!
Advantages: Everything you need under one roof. Disadvantages: Can prove to be very expensive.
...of this review but the Hilton at Coylumbridge really has so much to offer I didn't want to leave anything out!!
Having heard a lot of good reports about the Hilton Coylumbridge just outside Aviemore, we have been trying for a few years now to stay there. The Hilton at Coylumbridge is well known for being a very good hotel for families, with lots to offer the kids. When our kids were younger we often tried to stay there but we either couldn’t get ... ...of miles outside Aviemore the Hilton Coylumbridge is situated in a 65 acre woodland estate within the Cairngorm National Park. Quite an impressive looking building from the outside the Hilton has ample car parking both in front of and behind the hotel. The hotel offers 175 guests rooms with a range of different guest rooms, family rooms and suites. They also have lodges suitable for up to 8 people within the hotel grounds. There is a conference room, ...

Tired, rundown, overpriced, rubbish customer service
Advantages: Lucky not to get food poisning Disadvantages: Staff are rubbish and hotel in state of disrepair
I have stayed in all grades of hotels all over the world but this one takes the prize for being a total joke. Its trying to be upper-class but can't even get the basics right.
Check in - they got our name wrong on the booking, but when we tried to correct this with them they seemed totally perplexed on how to do it.
The Stairs - leading to the bedrooms are broken so its very easy to trip and fall when using them. They also polish the handrails ... ...and can't grip them.
The Room - had water leak damage on the ceiling in 3 separate locations. The toilet cistern lid was broken in half. The shower/bath was very run down with lime scale everywhere and the tile grouting needed replaced. The Bed - sheets had a burn mark on them, plain white sheets with a 50pence size burn mark and the chamber staff still put it on the bed. Not very professional.
Room Key - had a massive lead weight attached to it ...

Coombe Abbey.. so much more than a hotel
Advantages: Great rooms, great food Disadvantages: None
...is so much more to Coombe Abbey than simply just being a wondeful hotel. I have visited 'The Coombe' on a couple of occasions now, 2 weddings, 1 Christmas party and on many Sunday afternoon, just simply strolling through the picteresque grounds. A long drive way takes you up to Coombe Abbey and on eather side as you drive up the very impressive driveway you have lovely greenery and trees. There is a car park on the right hand side (don't park here ... ...views, weather and all that Coombe Abbey as to offer. It was a great family atmosphere. Drive a little further up and you will come to the hotel car park (again located on the right). There is then a little walk over the moat bridge to the magnificent hotel ( or get your other half to drive over the moat bridge and drop you off at the door!). The Hotel Originally Coombe Abbey was a 12th Century Cistercian Abbey (at a party I went to a monk did ...

Christmas at Cranage
Advantages: Attractive hotel, good facilities, excellent party atmosphere Disadvantages: Expensive bar prices, rude waiting staff
...with his work colleagues at Cranage Hall which is in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. As this was some distance from home, we treated ourselves to a night away in the hotel without the kids, making a good night even better! Cranage Hall is part of the Principal Hayley group of conference venues and hotels but for us it was the setting of our Christmas 'do' and a well-deserved night away. Christmas Deals
Our party had taken advantage of one of the ... ...when we pulled up outside Cranage Hall. The exterior is very grand and imposing and it was much bigger than I expected. Our sat nav managed to direct us to the hotel without any problems as the hotel is just a couple of miles out of Holmes Chapel, in the village of Cranage. There was more than adequate car parking available, despite the hotel being packed with other Christmas revellers, although it did mean a short walk over to the main entrance ...
