Maikle Barfil - Lovely place to relax

Advantages: Quiet and roomy
Disadvantages: Hard to find

...************************** = Meikle Barfil Farmhouse is located on the outskirts of Lochfoot, which is close to Dumfries in Scotland. The easiest way to get there is to use a satnav, as the cottage is difficult to find when you are just using directions from a route finder. The post code for the satnav is DG2 8RP. If like me you are unlucky enough not to have a satnav then you’ll find the area located between Dumfries and Castle Douglas, you need ...
...difficult, because the actual cottage is located about half a mile up an unmarked track. I say unmarked, there is a small sign for the cottage, but it’s extremely easy to miss as you’re driving along. Unless you are a great walker you’ll need a car because it’s a few miles to the nearest village. Price ***** Prices range from £299 for a week to £499 per week in the peak season. Prices include heating and electricity, bedding and towels and ...

Beware the Ghosts!!

Advantages: Good Views, Pleasant Surroundings, Indoor Pool
Disadvantages: Very dated, in need of refurbishment

...hotel is part of the Best Western group of chains and the average cost to stay here on there website is about £125 B & B per double room with full occupancy. The hotel itself though does have its own website separate from the Best Western website and it is this website where you will find the best prices. Im unsure of the actual url address but if you just type Hetland Hall Hotel into a search engine im sure it will come back as a result. We booked ...
...per night for 2 adults on a bed and breakfast basis. The cost of using the hotels facilities is included in this so there is no extra charge for using the pool, sauna or gym equipment. Arrival - The greeting from reception was friendly, though is located right by the front door which made it feel very cold. The tiled floor and dated look probably made it feel slightly colder than what it actually was. There are a selection of leaflets and brochures ...

The one thing I did right

Advantages: Lovely place, lovely gardens and a lovely owner!
Disadvantages: Not many rooms, so I guess it could be awkward to get a booking.

...night at the 4 star Redbank House in Dumfries. Given that my party (my date, another guest and myself) got lost on the way and spent an age (or so it seemed) trying to find our hotel and that of our fellow guest, we missed the actual ceremony, plus I forgot to bring a camera. So it was that when we finally pulled up on the drive of Redbank House I was given to say "Well, at least I did one thing right!" hence my title. THE LOCATION / GETTING THERE ...
...foot of the drive of Redbank House. Thanks very much indeed multimap, he said with a rye smile. APPEARANCE Upon driving into the place my date gasped and I said "Is this really the place I booked!" because I suddenly worried that I'd made a mistake regarding the nightly rates! The place is, in a word, immaculate! The lawns and shrubs in the immediate vicinity are beautifully maintained and the place is set in 3 acres of land, much if which we didn't ...

A Premiere Inn in Dumfries

Advantages: nice room
Disadvantages: really bad staff in restaurant

Premiere Inn Dumfries I stayed in this Premiere Inn the night before my wedding, as it was handy to get to the castle I was getting married in the next day. When checking I found the process very easy however some of my family members had problems, as they had not booked the room themselves. The staff did sort it out and seemed pleasant enough. Thankfully I had no problems at all. The staff on the main reception would have helped you with any queries ...
...I think it had recently been refurbished so everything was bright and vibrant. The room was very modern, clean and not cluttered. The décor was nice mostly while and dark purple. There was a lovely canvas above the bed of what looked like round purple trees. It was very large and you had lots of space, which was fantastic for me, as I had to get bring things for my wedding so I could get ready the next morning. The beds were very comfortable the ...

Early Birds Need a Nest Before Flying

Advantages: A budget choice for an early start
Disadvantages: Don't expect anything very special. This is functional rather than stylish

...the first day of my holiday if I was dead to the world. Possibly the only thing that stops the Estonian capital of Tallinn being totally over-run by British stag parties is that you can only get a budget flight there from Stansted. I generally loathe airport hotels with the exception of the Radisson at Stansted but a night there would have made my cheap weekend not a cheap weekend at all. I hunted through the hotel booking sites and was uninspired ...
...loyalty scheme which covers Holiday Inn hotels) and booked a night at the Holiday Inn Express at Stansted after I learned that it was right next to the Mid-Stay car park. First of course, as you'd expect, I made sure I could get a good deal on the car parking too. To park at the HIE would have cost me £15 a night which was well over what I was prepared to pay. So I booked 3 nights at the Mid-Stay through www.holidayextras.co.uk for just £19.50. Result! ...
