Not a place for a hen night!
Advantages: Good disco Disadvantages: Poor food, expensive
FIrstly, I have not stayed here, but been here as party of a hen night.
The hotel is easy to get to, both by car and taxi, it does not appear to be easy to get to by bus or train (but then I have not tried). I was welcomed by the Reception staff upon entering the building and it was very warm and comfortable. After meeting friends, we went into the main hall (for want of a better word!). We had a table set aside for the hen party, but I felt very ... ...in this room, all rather close together.
The drinks at the bar, were rather reasonably priced, much like in a pub and what a bonus - no queue! At the table, no drinks were provided and we had to keep going up to the bar to buy our own which was disappointing - not even a waiter to take our drinks order.
The food which we had pre ordered from a short menu weeks before, came out slowly. I had the breaded mushrooms to start and they were simply delicious ...

Review of Swallow Churchgate Hotel, Harlow

Used to be good but now I go other places.
Advantages: Reasonable price. Disadvantages: Undercooked food (one occasion), dishes not labelled, not much variety.
I stumbled across this hotel by chance, as a friend recommended it for a great chinese buffet.
Now I haven't stayed in the hotel, but it has a great chinese buffet and for a reasonable price.
I haven't been there in a while but I believe the price the last time I went was about £12 per head all you can eat. I think.
It's quite a small place, but good as I have never seen it busy so it is rather quiet if you just want a meal and a good chat with ... ...and whilst they leave you in peace, they make themselves known so you can grab a drink or if you have a query.
There are usually quite a lot of dishes to choose from, and plenty of cripsy duck and pancakes. If you want them to make you up a dish - they will.
Only downside is I have been to chinese buffets charging the same sort of price, but loads more dishes to choose from. The dishes also aren't labelled so if you don't eat chinese regularly ...

THE UNFRIENDLY CLUB'' -
Advantages: None Disadvantages: So many
...will refuse to do especially when they have taken £25 of my good earned cash.
They really do not care about their members, they seem to forget that it is us members that keep them in a job.
Avoid the camping and caravan club like the plague. ...

Holiday Inn Shepperton - prebooked? Beware - if you cancel
Advantages: NONE Disadvantages: ALL
...to cancel the stay with Holiday Inn re the current extreme bad weather problems for the journey by car from the North West for my 93 year old mother whose health would not be up to making such a potentially dangerous / uncertain journey.
Holiday Inn Shepperton have refused to give us a refund for cancellation of the booking which we find unbelievable given the current weather conditions.
Its the Holiday Inn attitude that pees me off, basically ... ...had a problem with a Holiday Inn booking in the '80s in the USA - wishing to transfer from a Holiday Inn in Hollywood where we had been staying to one at Anaheim - they made the transfer ok - but still charged us for the days stay not taken at Hollywood !
BEWARE FOLKS IF YOU MAKE A PREPAID BOOKING WITH HOLIDAY INNS AND THEN NEED TO CANCEL - THEY WILL STILL CHARGE YOU REGARDLESS !! BETTER NOT TO BOOK AT ALL AND JUST TURN UP IF YOU NEED TO USE HOLIDAY ...

A freezing cold with broken heating not so Welcome Cottage
Advantages: nice spacious family holiday home Disadvantages: no help contactable when heating broken in mid-winter
...in Norfolk - arranged though Welcome Cottages, although you can rent this place through other sites like Country Cottages too. The house is owned by Mike Franklin, who would appear to own many holiday lets - he certainly owns number 5 Bure Cottages too.
We arrived at 4pm in deep snow (with more falling) to a house so cold you could see your breath in the living room. The heating was broken and we couldn't find any instructions on who to contact ... ...times in 2 hours) or Welcome cottages (tried them at just after 5pm and they were shut - and no emergency number on ansaphone) Eventually (after 2 hours there with miserable cold 2 + 4 year old) a heating engineer we'd left a message with called us back and talked us through relighting the pilot light. We had to partly dismantle the kitchen cabinet to do this, with our own tools, and there's no way we'd have been able to work this out without the ...
