Last Drop Village Hotel

Advantages: Full usage of Spa, gym,pool
Disadvantages: Choice of food served in main restaurant

We have recently returned from our 3-day break at this hotel. After reading other reviews of this hotel we were very apprehensive about our stay. On our arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff and made to feel very welcome. We were given very clear details of the facilities available to us and also breakfast and dinner times. Our executive room was lovely , clean and warm and well worth the extra supplement. Great choice at breakfast and carvery ...
...Inn. In my opinion we have had a very pleasurable stay,staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.Glad to see that the small quaint shops were still to the rear of the hotel which are not mentioned on their website. In my opinion there website does not do the hotel justice and needs some updating. If you want to stay in a traditional hotel then this is the one surroundings are lovely. Overall we have had a very pleasurable stay. ...

Review of Macdonald Last Drop Village Hotel & Spa, Bolton

De-lightful and stunning venue!

Advantages: Excellent service, beautiful grounds, superb accommodation
Disadvantages: Not close to public transport access

...if you go to the De Vere website. After lunch we took and gentle stroll in the grounds, and were able to view parts of the golf course that are part of the complex. As we were only staying for a long weekend, we didn't get the chance to make use of the spa and pool, which looked fantastic, and we only briefly had the chance to make use of the spacious bar area. The only slightly negative point I would raise, is that it is not close to any public ...
...our stay directly through the De Vere website (www.devere.co.uk), and would advise to check under their "Offers" tab, as we found that they were offering 2 nights for the price 1 for the weekend we travelled, however given the wonderful level of service and standards we experienced, we would have no issues in booking this accommodation again, at the full price! ...

Review of De Vere Dunston Hall, Norwich

Splendid but shabby

Advantages: Plentiful and reasonably priced food
Disadvantages: In need of updating, shabby in places.

...hotel has panoramic views over the seafront and an old world charm. I stayed here as a child on a family holiday and remember running up and down the corridors while my sister who I was sharing a room with phoned down to the dining room to complain of my behaviour!| However, at The Grand time has in some ways stood still. Catering for week-end 'Butlin's - style' themed house parties the hotel is a little shabby and could do with a large cash injection ...
...and waiting staff are helpful and well organised. On the plus side, you can get a very reasonably priced lunch deal in the restaurant with fish and chips, peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea or coffee for about £4.00. Breakfast is also plentiful and leisurely. ...

Review of The Grand Hotel, Scarborough

Do Enjoy Your Stay - We Did!!!

Advantages: Location, Facilities, Service
Disadvantages: Cost

Well words cannot describe how excited I was to be going to the Marriott for a romantic night away! Upon arriving my Fiance and I cannot help but notice how spotless the area is - inside and out. So good start! IReception staff dealt with all customers quickly, no-one was kept waiting around for ages. We actually got our room number, key and had our credit card details taken (for room service etc) within a very short space of time indeed! I would ...
...were very helpful offering to make reservations in the bar and grill for an evening meal and offering to have a paper delivered next morning. We opted for a table at 7pm to have a meal as they had a special Valentine's menu on. We had checked in just after 3pm so that gave us just under 4 hours of erm fun and frolicks shall we say? :) All lifts were working so there were no delays waiting around - saying that we were only on the second floor so ...

Review of Newcastle Marriott Hotel MetroCentre, Gateshead

Rude, disinterested staff

Advantages: fabulous rooms and function suites
Disadvantages: terrible food, god awful staff

I agree whole heartedly with the other reviewers comments. I have stayed there twice now,for my partners works christmas party last year and the year before. The rooms are stunning with amazing views but unfortunately the staff are rude at worst and disinterested and ineffectual at best. The food at the parties was ok for mass catering and the entertainment that accompanied the meal was superb!! unlike the previous reviewer my experience of the ...
...so I ordered from the breakfast menu, I ordered the mackerel with poached egg and was told it will take 15 mins to cook, after 25 mins they came back and told me sorry there isn't any mackerel but you can have kippers so I chose the kippers with poached egg, 20 mins later it arrived, to my horror the kipper was stone cold and raw, I complained to the waitress and she went away in a very surly manner leaving the cold uncooked food in front of me and ...
