Would I pay for it?

Advantages: beautiful old house, lots of facilities
Disadvantages: mainly caters for the (much) older generation

...three-night half board break at Holme Lacy House near Hereford in a competition on the First Great Western website - yippee! A few days later I received a Warner Leisure Hotels brochure and a voucher saying that I had been awarded a 3 Night Weekend break for two people to be taken by 1st May 2008 - how to book details (telephone) were on the voucher. I didn't know much about Warner apart from the fact that it was adults only and my husband, who ...
...look at the brochure and Holme Lacy House looked beautiful although I was somewhat put-off by the fact that the brochure shows mainly older people enjoying pursuits such as bowls, which is not our thing at all! ~~Booking~~ Having forgotten about it for a few months, we were thinking about going away for a weekend for my birthday in February and remembered we had this break to use. Last minute as always, I called the booking number on the voucher ...

Review of Holme Lacy House Hotel, Hereford

Green Dragon - Roaring success?

Advantages: Good location, good customer service
Disadvantages: A little "faded grandeour" and maybe TOO good customer service!

...know quite a lot about the hotels in the area, despite rarely requiring them myself! The green dragon is a hotel right in the centre of Hereford. There is no need to get a taxi anywhere central from the Green Dragon. I would say it is about 30 seconds walk from the Cathedral and 2 minutes walk from Marks and Spencers (I always think that is a good marker of the middle of the shops!) The hotel is extremely traditional looking from the outside, with ...
...of the hotel - which is probably worth the room fee alone to get a space in central Hereford! The hotel also has bars, a restauraunt and several function rooms. I first went to the green dragon to meet a friend who was staying there, for a drink. The drinks were relatively expensive and the bar extremely quiet. This wasn't a problem for us, as we wanted to chat and catch up, but I wouldn't recomend it as somewhere to stop for a drink on a night ...

Review of The Green Dragon, Hereford

Basic ok for overnight stop

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: Basic ok for overnight and short stays.

Stayed at this hotel on several occassions, usually booked in the Travelodge Sale, and always been satisfied. Rooms are basic and good value when booked at discount, but we feel the Premier nearby offers better value if paying the full rate. Rooms have basic tea making facilities, bathrooms with showers over and basic tv packages. Beds have always been comfortable and extra bedding provided on request. No on site food service other than the shrink ...
...value. Hotel is next to the main shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead where there are several cafes, all a bit pricey. Several other restaurants nearby. If opens are open at night, noise can be a problems as this is on the race route around the town centre. Car park is small for the number of rooms and finding a space if arriving late at night can be a problem. Car parks are available nearby at a cost. ...

Review of Travelodge, Hemel Hempstead

Basic but a good overnight stop

Advantages: Good location, basic accomodation good value at discount rate
Disadvantages: Basic, only ok for short stop over or base.

...are basic as with all travelodge Hotels and have either a bath or shower room. Each room has basic TV and tea making facilities. Beds have been comfortable on each visit and each bedding/pillows provided when requested. The hotel is just off the main A303 but we have never had any issues with noise but have not opened the windows either. The hotel is in a small service area next to a Little Chef where basic meals are available. We have not used this ...

Review of Travelodge Yeovil Podimore, Yeovil

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 ...
