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. ...

Review of Oakleigh Guest House, Stourport

Premier Inn Gatwick - Exceptional value for money, comfy & clean!

Advantages: Excellent value for money, very comfortable, clean and tasty food.
Disadvantages: A bus ride away from the North terminal

I have flown from Gatwick airport early in the morning on several occasions and have always found it much easier to stay the night before and leisurely wander over to the North Terminal in the morning rather than try and make my way down in the car or on the train. I have stayed at both the Sofitel at Gatwick and the Premier Inn therefore, will review both however please be aware this is for the Premier Inn at Gatwick. I have stayed at the Premier ...
...shower. The Premier Inn Gatwick has a restaurant downstairs as well as a bar where you can order food from their bar menu. The restaurant menu is simple but the food is good, and includes dishes such as Spaghetti Bolognese and steak (as of September 2009). The bar menu is a little more basic with dishes such as pizza and burgers taking pride of place. The beauty of the bar menu however, is that you can order your food and then take it back to your ...

Review of Gatwick Airport Central Premier Inn, Gatwick

We had a great time at The Shears Inn, Collingbourne Ducis

Advantages: A place to relax and unwind in the countryside, with excellent food.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...from a short stay at The Shears Inn at Collingbourne Ducis. This lovely thatched inn is enhanced by the quality of the welcome received, the relaxed atmosphere and the excellent food and drink, served by Sophie, always with a smile. We were just 15 minutes away from the stunning Stonehenge, where we enjoyed our visit on a cold but sunny morning, and 20 minutes from the lovely town of Marlborlborough where there is lots to do and see. The Inn itself ...
...alongside gallops where you may see the local race horses excercising if you are up early enough. It is a great base if you are a keen walker, there were people staying who brought their dog who was also made very welcome. All in all a great place to stay. ...

Stunning hotel both inside and out

Advantages: The room, the price, everything really except the car park
Disadvantages: The car park!

Thought I would share my experience staying at this hotel last year. When I originally booked I just wanted a standard room, unfortunately they were all booked so the person on the phone said I could have a family room, which would be the same price. The hotel is a bit difficult to find if you are not familiar with Manchester city centre, however the main problem is the car park - TOTAL NIGHTMARE!! CAR PARK It's way too small for the number of ...
...When I arrived around 5pm it was full and I was not the only person disppointed. However the hotel had employed someone to direct you to another carpark, the problem was he was as much use as a chocolate teapot!! He was difficult to understand (I'm not against foreign people working in the UK), but when you've been in a car for nearly 5 hours and just want to park the wretched thing the last thing you want is to hear is a person speaking broken english ...

Stay somewhere else if you have any sense

Advantages: There's an underground car park.
Disadvantages: Stubborness and dishonesty of staff on the front desk - underwhelmed.

...booking in, we found that the bed was a standard sized double, when we had infact paid extra for a Queen size bed. And so we returned to reception. The receptionist informed us that "Queen size refers to the room, not the bed" - a first in my extensive experience with hotels. Perhaps the presidential suite contains a standard double too? I enquired. After being told that we could not be moved because the resort was "completely full", my partner refused ...
...and the car park was only half full - remember this hotel is in the middle of nowhere and needs a car to get to it easily). My partner therefore demanded to see the supervisor. Miraculously the supervisor checked the same booking computer the pompous receptionist was using and within seconds managed to conjure up not just one but a choice of three (Queen size) rooms we could stay in that did indeed also contain Queen sized beds, which we were then ...
