Lovely hotel for a christmas break

Advantages: Quiet location, Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, personal service
Disadvantages: Food and Drink is expensive compared to room rates

...location is the Royal Berkshire Ramada Hotel in Ascot. We'd never really considered a hotel in this area before - had always assumed it would be too expensive but this actually worked out cheaper than the previous year on room rate with us paying £250pp for 3 nights DBB. The only extra expense being drinks which seemed quite expensive. The hotel looks like a old country mansion with quite extensive grounds which are great for a walk after too big ...
...very high standard - I made sure I had a nose around everyone's room(!). They all had plenty of space to relax in for some peace and quiet. Specifically they all had little lounge areas with sofas or big arm chairs for that after lunch snooze! Our bathroom was also fantastic - almost the same size as our main room with lots of fluffy white towels and good quality toiletries. As a large group of 12, for our meals the hotel organised for us to all ...

Review of Ramada Plaza The Royal Berkshire, Ascot

Woodlands Park Hotel - Excellent Value for Money

Advantages: Great ambience, fantastic service, good food.
Disadvantages: We couldn't stay longer!

INTRODUCTION My wife and I were looking to do something special for our fifth wedding anniversary and decided that we fancied a dinner and room package somewhere fairly close to home. We had never left our toddler daughter overnight before, so we needed somewhere within short driving distance from the in-laws, just in case there were any problems whilst baby-sitting. A few months before, a friend of ours had recommended the Woodland Park Hotel, ...
...the many properties in the Handpicked Hotels chain, so I looked up their web-site and signed up to their e-mail service, which sends general news and offers on all of the hotels in the chain, about two or three times a month. Fortunately, a timely offer popped into my inbox, and at £149 for two people, in a superior room, including a three course dinner in the hotel restaurant (without wine) followed by breakfast the following morning, it looked ...

Review of Woodlands Park Hotel, Cobham

Scottish New Year in an a great hotel.

Advantages: good location, lovely hotel, nice food
Disadvantages: expensive but worth it

I remember staying at this hotel 15 years and thinking "this is OK but it could be amazing. Aviemore is a great town, in a lovely part of Scotland and this hotel should be a hotel of flagship standards . . " well now it is! I spent three nights here over the new year period and it has far surpassed anything it ever was. I was in a double room which was a decent size, not huge but enough room for the two of us. It was well maintained, with a nice ...
...good and there was plenty of choice for breakfast. It wasn't just fried breakfast or cereal, there was other options to keep it interesting like local kippers or porridge. I can also highly recommend the hotel bar, very good service and a lovely range of local whiskeys!! We got a deal on the price through a hotel room search website, but it would be worth paying full price for. Also the location is good right in the town centre. ...

Review of Macdonald Four Seasons Hotel, Aviemore

Steeped in history

Advantages: Character, excellent food.
Disadvantages: Character!

...imprisonment in the 1500s and old documentation pinpoints the four poster room, Mary's Bower, as where she was incarcerated. Don't expect marble bathrooms or a spa. This is an old building full of character with a choice of rooms, including four poster rooms. The DBB packages are tremendous value for money as the hotel provides excellent, locally sourced food in either the very grand dining room or bar. You get a reduction on the paid for parking ...

Review of Old Hall, Buxton

I'm not in the pudding club - I just ate too much

Advantages: Perfect if you like puddings
Disadvantages: Pitiful if you need WiFi

...separate overnight stops at the Three Ways House Hotel in Mickleton - or as it's better known, The Pudding Club. In fact if you are trying to find the hotel there are no signposts for the Three Ways House but plenty for its alter ego. From about 5 miles away you'll start to see brown tourism signposts pointing the way to one of the Cotswold's most unlikely attractions - the fortnightly meetings of the Pudding Club. In 1985, the Pudding Club was ...
...pudding lovers gather at the Three Ways from all over the country and even farther afield. Their intention is to have a dinner of a 'light' main course followed by seven different puddings - an 'all you can eat' experience for the sweet toothed and all for £26 a head. Fortunately for me, neither of my visits coincided with a pudding night. I cannot abide these heavy, sticky monstrosities because they remind me far too much of school dinners. So ...
