I ordered a roast dinner and it was FANTASTIC. I had the pork loin which was perfectly cooked, it also comes with a huge amount of vegetables. This is a gourmet roast dinner for sure. I also ordered a sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream ice cream. This was also lovely but not enough toffee sauce!! I would recommend this establishment and will definitely be back.

The staff were lovely, and the service was really, incredibly fast! It wasn't too busy, but still, very impressed with the speed at which our food was delivered to a table of five! Food: The eggs benedict were very good, and reasonably priced. They also serve very decent coffee. Ambiance: Classic inn vibe, very cosy and warm, but a very large airy space. They even have a skittle alley! We didn't partake but I imagine you could have a load of fun playing 9 pin. All in all a solid choice!

Although the 'spa' next door which was more of a quiet small lesuire centre did bring it down abit. The hotel is a Hilton but not like any Hilton ive been in before maybe due to the ruralness of the location. Me and my partner went here the day before we were to go on our honeymoon. So we did select honeymoon as the occassion when booking online, but we didnt notice any difference from selectin that option. When asking at the reception no one knew what we were talking about. Even though it stated on our confirmation it was a honeymoon booking. Reception staff we're friendly had were given a hot cookie on arrival which was a nice touch, we got into our room but noticed it hadn't been cleaned properly and looked as if someone had been sat on bed and had a half drank cup of coffee of the side. So went back to reception as changed rooms which was fine. The room was really nice aswell which over looked the front of the house. Although the window did brake slighlty when trying to shut. We had free access the gym and pool next door which we used but as it was open to the public didnt seem so relaxing as it should. Breakfast was Buffett style which was really nice. It was based in the up market resturant linked to the hotel. It was all fresh and good quality. Overall the hotel is really nice just the little things that let it down!

I was slightly disappointed that there was no chocolate in this hotel and gym. I reckon my…read moreimagination must have got the better of me and I imagined chocolate fountains and water slides made out of Cadbury's chocolate. But in all reality, it's beautiful here. Half of the hotel is the original building and the other is a modern extension, which is a bit of a shame as it looks a bit odd. Rooms are spacious and have everything you would expect from a high end hotel. But probably the best thing about this hotel is it's wonderful spa. They really have gone all out and provided customers with ultimate luxury and relaxation. Prices are a little high, but for a one off special I reckon it's worth it. There is also a well equipped gym which is worth using as it's included in your hotel stay. The hotel is also situation in stunning grounds. If you are lucky enough to get a nice enough day, it's well worth walk around the hotel's grounds as they have kept the gardens looking very nice.

The staff are really helpful and go the extra mile for you if you request extra pillows etc The security is really good on the doors as the hotel is based inside the service station itself.

Basic rooms, as promised, but veryu clean. Staff were very helpful and a credit to Travelodge.read more

This is located in Holcombe a small Somerset village in England, where I used to live from aged 6…read moretil I was 20. I used to frequent this pub years and years ago, when it used to be called the Ring O Roses. Some people claim the nursery rhyme 'Ring-a-ring-o'-roses' is about the plague: The 'roses' are the red blotches on the skin. The 'posies' are the sweet-smelling flowers people carried to try to ward off the plague. 'Atishoo' refers to the sneezing fits of people with pneumonic plague. This was why it was called this years and years ago. If you go to the Old church in Holcombe there is a mound there for all the bodies from the plague. This inn dated back to the 17th century. Now it has been totally refurbished as a country hotel with 11 bedrooms and a great restaurant, with pretty gardens.. it is steeped in history, and is actually mentioned in The Domesday Book.

The food is always amazing quality especially when you consider the very reasonable price. If you have to pick a single day to come and try the food then make it a Sunday. The Sunday lunch here is by far the best we have had, not only in the local area but also, anywhere. Another thing with mentioning is the desserts. My wife would come here just for the desserts if she could. Also.... Otter on tap!

Review: Holiday Inn Express Conveniently located near to…read moreBristol Parkway Station, MoD Abbey Wood, UWE and Filton Retail Park. Guests can expect to find superior facilities for what is essentially a budget-range hotel. The car park was ample, conveniently close to the hotel, and free. The reception staff throughout my stay were attentive and welcoming, without being contrived or strained. During check-in all necessary information was explained clearly and I was presented with several dining options. Bar snacks and pizza are available in the hotel and the nearby Filton Retail Park has numerous dining establishments (in addition to a pub next door to the hotel). At the time of my visit a promotion was available which entitled hotel guests to a 20% discount in the nearby Frankie & Benny's restaurant. A breakfast buffet was included in the rate and featured varied options to cater for most tastes. Continental and Full English items were available, in addition to various juices and hot beverages. The bar area in which breakfast was served benefitted from several large televisions showing the BBC News Channel and as I was travelling alone I took particularly comfort knowing there was something with which to keep myself occupied while dining. The bedroom was extremely clean and tidy, featuring contemporary furnishings with almost everything required for a short trip. A television with a DVD player would have been advantageous, but its absence is understandable considering the type of hotel. Wi-Fi was also included in the rate and although it could be intermittently slow it was highly appreciated. An option was available to upgrade the speed of Wi-Fi. A kettle was on a shelf tucked under the television with a range of tea and coffee options. The television was modern, large and featured all of the usual Freeview channels in addition to guest services. The bathroom, although small, was not cramped. Like the rest of the room, the bathroom was sparklingly clean and tidy. The double bed, although possibly a little cramped for two, was perfect for the lone traveller. The choice of both foam and feather pillows was convenient and the soft duvet was just the right tog for December temperatures. Throughout my visit the hotel was peaceful and quiet, and due to the comfortable environment I was completely satisfied with my quality of sleep. Air conditioning and heating was available and easily managed by the in-room controls, although I didn't leave it running for too long as it had a tendency to rattle. The sofa bed was a pleasing addition to this room and although I did not use it as a bed I can confirm the sofa part was comfortable and spacious. Of this particular type of hotel, this is the best I have had the pleasure of visiting. Due to the low price of my stay and the overall high quality of the facilities I would definitely stay again if necessary.

The grounds are beautiful and well Kempton, definitely would suggest a walk in the walled flower garden! There is an on-site spa 'the Cowshed' which offers a range of treatments from massage and facials to manicures and waxing, as well as full use of the indoor and outdoor heated pool, sauna and steam room. There is a large dining room as well as a bar, games room and multiple smaller lounge areas for guests to relax in. I found the staff to be overall very friendly and welcoming. Negatives - service was at times a little slow especially at breakfast. At no point during my stay were there any hand towels in bathroom in the main house which means either they were not restocked at all or they need to be restocked more often. Overall, me and my friends had a great time and it was the perfect place for a relax and catch up. Sue.

I wonder, would it be cost effective to sell my house and just live here for the rest of my life?…read moreCould I do that? That would be just perfect. Babbington House is part of the Soho House group, and swanky it is too. Doesn't come across as pretentious though. Small and cosy lounge rooms, dining room in the orangerie, indoor and outdoor pool, gym and the birthplace of Cowshed cosmetics means there is an amazing spa on site too with a huge range of treatments. Attention to detail seems to be a value above all others here, everything is perfect, everything is manicured, everything is worked hard to make it look like effortless luxury. It is so tranquil, even though there were obviously a large number of people there judging by the number of cars in the car park. I have no idea where they all were but everywhere we went we were alone, which was fine by us. All rooms have unlimited Cowshed products to use and test (for sale at the shop of course) and this was a nice touch. It is pricey, but is definitely one of those places where not a penny spent is regretted, and you are likely to crave the opportunity to return and spend more money.
