We live in a great country I'll have you know. Country littered with great few humble abodes such…read moreas this. There are so many great cities to visit in the UK with numerous hospitality options. So what if we don't have the weather, we have great indoor facilities. St Davids park boasts 11 meeting rooms for corporate events as well as 147 en-suite bedrooms. This really is a fantastic venue, offering relaxing leisure activities for a wonderful breaks away. Located just outside Liverpool in Flintshire think family birthday treat and relaxing spa treatments in countryside oasis, think St Davids park. The spa treatments would go down really well for the ladies as a gift. This venue provides the perfect de-stressing environment offering full body massages and detoxing mud wraps. So get your spa vouchers and surprise that lady or lad in your life. A full day of pampering or relaxing will cost £50 for one person or if you want to book with a friend or partner £75 is a great deal. For that you get access to all leisure facilities as well as your very own Dever Bathrobe and slippers...yippeeee. If I was to have a POA for this I'd probably hit the gym first followed by a refreshing dip in the pool. I'd then head to the spa after a spot of lunch to get my Aromatherapy full body massage which would fly me straight to bliss city without red bull. Other treatments to choose from, each lasting an hour include - Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage with Chocolate Oil & Hot Stone Treatment - Mini Facial & Back Neck & Shoulder Massage - Mini Manicure & Mini Pedicure- Re-hydrating Facial. Or you can always choose the treatments you want from the brochure on the following link: http://www.devere.co.uk/dms/site/flyers/Spa-Menu-2008-2/Spa%20Menu%202008-2.pdf Room rates if you just want to stay and visit Chester or go shopping at Cheshire Oaks very depending on when you go, ranging from £60 on weekdays to £100 on week-ends, which is pretty standard for a 4* property. This really is a great place to stay and carries an ambiance which mixes the traditional exterior with the modern interior really well.

The service was great and they helped sing happy birthday and had a pianist play along. One word of warning: Don't believe the google directions on how to get to here. Instead simply follow the A494 and come off at the Buckley/St. David's Park exit (for the B5127).

Service was consistently poor, staff were mostly unfriendly and what was meant to have been a 'special' weekend ended up being a real let down. I hasten to add that none of the negatives we experienced were down to Covid-19. The only positive experience during our stay was the wonderful lady who served us drinks in the brasserie. Sadly for the Grosvenor, the service she provided only amplified how poor most other elements of our stay had been.

It was incredibly quiet given the fact it's next to a busy A road which is a bonus after a long journey to get there. Checkin was relatively painless and the receptionist was helpful. I have to knock marks off checkout as another receptionist was on the phone sorting out someone's booking for a wedding and another member of staff who could've helped us blatantly ignored us. The room was excellent. Clean, warm and inviting. Plenty of towels and pillows (and storage space.) The inclusive WiFi was fast which was excellent. Didn't have breakfast here but it smelt inviting. There's also a mini gym on site but we didn't make use of these facilities.

The room we stayed in was clean and tidy and the staff were all excellent, couldn't have asked for more.

We were treated like royalty, reception booked us in for our evening meal at Castell Deudreath (the more modern hotel and restaurant in Portmeirion Village) and even booked the complimentary taxi service for us so we didn't have to walk up the hill. The meal was superb and the taxi brought us back to our hotel when we were finished. Our room was perhaps a little dated but charming all the same and very pretty and this was all forgotten the folowing morning when we woke up to breakfast in bed and the gorgeous view of the estuary as the sun slowly rose in the sky. I long to return to The Hotel Portmeirion again to fully explore the village and enjoy the tranquility and service we experienced there.

No buffet, you have to book a time and order but there was a good variety. Rooms are very big with both a shower and bathtub, bed was very comfortable. The downside is that they do not clean your rooms daily, so you have to use the same towels and make your own bed unfortunately. I think this is due to covid, but was disappointed by it as I like a fresh towels and my room cleaned. Also no mini fridge in the room, but there is kettle, tea/coffee, safe, hairdryer, ironing board and free WiFi. Overall a nice traditional countryside English hotel with large rooms. Friendly staff and pretty gardens to sit outside.

This building like many others in this city is stunning and full of character. Dated from 1779 this country house is still lavish, with antique rugs, dark wooden furnishings and stairwell..the floorboards give that satisfying creak when you step on them. Anyway having checked in, the receptionist also takes £50 off your card, whatever you don't spend within the hotel they reimburse you..watch out for that. Each room is stunningly decorated, you can even watch tv while you have a dump :p we left the robes and slippers and walked down with our towels to the spa. The reception here provided us with towels and offered spa treatments ranging from £30 a back massage. We were here for the pool. ChAnging rooms were fabulous and spacious. With lockers, hair dryers and decent showers. Only dispute were old towels left behind..they should place a laundry basket here. Entering the pool was idyllic..the sun was just setting through the large conservatory windows. In the corner offers a Jacuzzi in which you activate by the switch..the pool was of decent size, overlooking the gym and the steam room was sufficient. The dry sauna was under construction though. Getting changed for dinner , we were led to a cosey room where a gent at the bar brought us our wine and a menu over. I believe it was three courses for just over £25. Bargain for Rosette quality food. Amongst the wood pigeon, I had the ricotta cheese bread crumbed balls,and mushroom risotto for main My friend ordered the pate and salmon for mains. A complimentary bruchetta was provided..making me first think the portions were going to be small. However food was spot on in quantity, and what I could taste (with a sinus cold) was divine. The waitress was very attentive, although we had to ask for butter for our bread. Overall a gorgeous hotel with food and service to match. I will be back.

We were given a large room very near the entrance and treated to ample supplies of tea and coffee with a bar in the room. There is no real ale on offer, but they do have a good selection of malt whiskies if one asks for them. The buffet provided was excellent and served by a wonderful staff. We were allowed to conduct a series of songs, dances and music (being mostly folk performers) and had a very enjoyable afternoon in the circumstances.

I was in town for the Liverpool Rock n' Roll Marathon. It was a last minute decision and I was fortunate to find such an affordable room near the start and finish lines of the race. Pros: 1. Excellent friendly front desk 2. Comfortable bed 3. They sell power adapters in their vending machine 4. Plenty of parking 5. Convenient location, located near Albert Dock 6. Affordable rates Cons: 1. Teeny tiny bathroom. If you tried to turn in the shower, your elbow will for sure hit the wall. 2. If you're sitting on the can, you probably can't shut the door as there's no room for both of your legs and feet! The pros definitely outweighed the cons, so I wouldn't mind staying here again in the future if I'm looking for something cheap, convenient, and nothing too fancy.
As far as budget hotels go, Dolby certainly does have a fantastic location.

The rooms are going here at alarmingly low rates, between £40-£50. Given as I said the location that is fantabulous!!! It does have a no frills feel to it but then again it is low budget is it not. People traveling in large groups would probably fancy it here. Even those who have splashed out on the better seats at the Echo for a concert, and are looking for a cheaper over night option this really is perfect. If you are not a citizen of pretention city you definitely will not mind staying at this humble abode.

I suppose it originates from the association with the village idiot term which is used to describe a wierd individual in a community or one who behaves in a way that is to the dismay of the general population. Now that I have described the meaning of one of my favourite words to utter, I may continue on my merry way to review this hotel . Any how on my yelp inspired journey I bring to you my fellow yelpadres another chain of hotels in our fair greens of Kingdom of United by the name of Village hotels. Twenty be the number aye of hotels of the Village persuasion and this one has taken my fancy indeedeth!!! You see whether your stay is for business or for leisure this place does not dissappoint, as unfortunate as the name may be. There really isn't much not to like here you have comfortable bedrooms, a state of the art Health and Fitness Club, decent restaurant, ok pub, nice Café, Healthworks wellness and beauty, The Hub meeting and conference centre, VILLAGE live party nights and a Velocity Fitness Shop!!! God that was a mouthful wasn't it. Amongst all of that throw in free Wi-fi throughout the hotel and over 300 free car parking spaces, and hey presto you are in bob's your uncle territory!! There really seems to be a great package you get with this hotel chain which is going bit further and making more effort than some other hotels. It's location also isn't too bad either with it being only a few minutes from Junction 5 off the M53. Ideal launch pad really for exploring the Pool, Albert Dock and Beatles Story as well as the superb shopping on the Wirral, Chester, Marina West Kirby and nearby Cheshire Oaks. Despite having 117 bedrooms you'd still have to book well in advance as they are busy busy busy which is a good sign for a hotel. I like the decor of the rooms it creates a workable fusion between rustic and modern and of course as is the norm these days, all rooms are equipped with flat screen TV's with Sky Sports and other satellite entertainment channels. The hotel also boasts these Sealy ZZZzzz beds which are specially designed to prevent tossing and turning and relieve pressure points while you sleep. Hmmm the jury is out on that one but they are damn comfortable I tell you that because I am actually aware of the Sealy bed making company and yes they do make very nice beds!! I liked this Village hotel, and I'd definately stay in another Village hotel again might look it up when I'm next on the move....
