Booked a spa break with my mum and couldn't wait for two days of bliss. Situated between Wetherby…read moreand Leeds, this castle is tucked away in beautiful landscaped grounds, with a gorgeous courtyard and pond as you arrive that's perfect for a cuppa in the sun on an afternoon! The building is gorgeous, with antiques and rich furnishings intermingled with modern amenities; you instantly felt like you were in luxury. Our room had two really comfy beds, a lounge area and huge bathroom, making it a great place to chill out. We'd booked a spa deal and only found out the day before that there isn't actually spa - just treatment rooms - which was a little disappointing. However, the treatments were fabulous and there is a lovely relaxation room where you can unwind before and after your massage or mud experience. Our deal included afternoon tea, a meal in the evening, and breakfast the next day. The first was nothing to write home about - finger sandwiches, scones and Kipling-style cakes - but the restaurant meals were delicious. The evening meal was situated in the restaurant beneath the castle, with an elegant bistro menu and fabulous service. Bread and olives as you arrive was a nice touch, and my steak was to die for! They did a cracking full English the next day too.. As for the service in the hotel, it was a bit Faulty Towers, but not too bad. As a whole package, we loved Hazlewood Castle and would definitely return in the future!

The hotel is set in the main castle or in the court yard building which are both impressive but the main castle bedrooms are much more impressive - they still have the old traditional features which make it feel like you are royalty. The fixtures and fittings are pure luxury too. The food is absolutely divine and so morish - you really must experience their breakfasts which are to die for. The chef is absolutely brilliant in making the food look really luxurious. While the prices are quite steep at over £100 for a room per night it is well worth it when you have spent the time there as you feel really pampered and there is so much to see and do. The castle hotel also does weddings and receptions - inviting you to a fayre first to try it out before you decide to book. They also do conference bookings and also small intimate parties. Well worth the money - the staff are absolutely lovely and polite. You never know too - you might get to meet the ghosts that live there too

Had a nice family day out and we decided we would go here…read more We went up to Leeds and then had to catch the Bus 19 which took us up between Temple Newsam house and the golf grounds, we then had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the actual place. Walking up to it you're surrounded by green and then there are a load of tree's that seperate so you can walk through them towards the house and grounds, it was like something out of a postcard. When we actually got to the grounds we were stumped on where to go first! Do we go into Temple Newsam House OR do we head towards their little farm OR do we wonder around their 1500 acres of woodlands, fields etc!? Spoilt for choice We started off with the house itself. Prices for a family tickets (2 adults & up to 3 children) are: Temple Newsam House: £9.50 Home Farm: £8.70 Joint Ticket: £15.50 The house is magnificent! You are asked not to take photo's. This is because of the flash as the light and heat can damage pictures etc, it can cause a chemical reaction. I did take a few pictures, but made sure my flash was OFF as not to damage anything. You have a choice of walking around the house reading bits and bobs, or you can use these handheld blocks where you punch in the number per room and a recording will guide you through the room and explain. There are also children's versions of this. We all got confused by it so we opted out lol. Had a little laugh as there is a picture of a man near the picture gallery and he was a spitting image of my father - didn't take a photo of this. Despite it being so big and perhaps a bit dull for children, our children loved it and were full of questions that we tried to answer. They were excited about going into different rooms and their favourite room was the 'nannys room' where they had modern toys for children to play with. We then headed towards the farm. I will be honest with you, I didn't like the farm as much as I would have normally - perhaps it was because of the weather? I would have liked it to have been a farm where we could feed the animals too because places such as the barns with cows, they only had 1 large bucket of this protien stuff which meant that only the biggest cows had managed to get to it (would YOU try and squeeze inbetween 2 fully grown cows!?) and so the younger smaller ones had no chance - perhaps later in the day they would?? :( . One was even eating the straw on the ground which was covered in 'you know what', so I didn't like that bit. The highlight of the farm was that we saw piglets being born! That was amazing! The grounds are huge! As I've already said, all of this is within 1500 acres of land and they have woodlands you can explore which we didn't have time to get to, so it's deffinately an all day trip or perhaps even 2 days. I would go again, although I wouldn't pay for the farm again.

I was once a Pierette. A dancer on the Pier, at the Variety shows, for a season, when I was at art…read moreschool. There was a fire in the dressing rooms at this time and when it was snowing in winter (we went back to do Panto) we had to all hold hands and the outer ones gold the railings to get off the pier without slipping over. I also entered dance festivals here alongside Margo Henderson. (Once Prima Balleriana with the Royal). Cleethorpes Pier opened during the August Bank Holiday of 1873. Built by the prestigious firm of Head Wrightson. Ordered by the Cleethorpes Promenade Pier Company and largely financed by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, Cleethorpes Pier opened during the August Bank Holiday of 1873. Cleethorpes Pier was constructed of iron piles under a timber deck. Its length, due to the considerable tidal movement, extended a full 1,200ft (366m). The Railway Company (later known as LNER) took a lease on Cleethorpes Pier in 1884, for an annual sum of £450, before finally buying the structure 20 years later. A seaward end pavilion was built in 1888 but this was destroyed in a blaze in 1903. In 1905 shops and a café were built at the pier-head, on the site of the old building, along with a new pavilion midway along the pier neck, to the right of the main deck. This new pavilion originally lacked any form of heating and was therefore largely confined to summer use. Entertainment included concerts and popular dances throughout the week. For some time the pavilion was also home to the Cleethorpes Musical Festival; an event highly thought of in musical circles at the time. The provision of heating in 1923 ensured that entertainment could be scheduled throughout the year. The pavilion survives today and remains in a well-maintained condition. The final part of the 1905 redevelopment was the construction of an elevated link to the adjoining 'Pier Gardens', but this was removed in the late 1930s. In 1936 ownership passed to Cleethorpes Borough Council. Sectioned during the Second World War for fear of invasion, Cleethorpes Pier like so many others was never to recover in its original form. The breached section was left unrepaired after the war and eventually the isolated seaward end was demolished, reducing the pier length to a mere 335ft (101m). £50,000 was spent on modernising the pavilion in 1968, the new facilities including a 600-seat concert hall and a new café and bar. Ownership passed to Funworld Limited in 1981 but, after suffering poor attendance for their first season of summer shows, the company decided to close the pier in 1983. Cleethorpes Pier's future looked in doubt until Mark Mayer purchased it in the summer of 1985. Re-opening on 4th September 1985 the pavilion had been transformed, at a cost of £300,000, into a modern nightclub by the name of 'Pier 39'. The pier changed hands again in 1989 being purchased by Whitegate Leisure PLC who, after spending substantial funds on again refurbishing the pavilion, continue to operate 'Pier 39'.
