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

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 ...

Review of Macdonald St. Paul's Hotel, Sheffield

Not the best but well worth a mention

Advantages: lovely conservatory breakfast room
Disadvantages: not the prettiest from the front

The De Vere Hotels are a rather lovely "chain" of hotels which can be found all over the UK. They are not your cheapest brand of hotel prices range from approx £110 right up to £400 or so per night. Deals can be found all over the place though, I found my deal at lastminute which was £100 for b&b. The Hotel we stayed at was The De Vere in Southampton which was okay to look at but nothing special (basically a big brick building!) It has a massive ...
...was quite impressive looking with valet parking on offer and doorman at the entrance welcoming you in. I enjoyed my stay at the Southampton De Vere and would really recommend it especially if you can get a good deal! Also on dooyoo under the same name ...
