It was the perfect balance between hard work and lots of fun with so many international students there that you felt like you were constantly at a UN meeting! The best thing about Bath are the fantastic staff and the amazing students. There's so much to be said for international presence, it just means that there aren't necessarily cliques and cool people and not so cool people, it's just everyone. I loved studying here and think they do an alright job setting you up for afterwards too. The year in industry was very beneficial for me and and I think helped strengthen my degree.

The Learning Organisation…read more After a recent rebrand TLO are trying hard to appeal to the educational sector by using bright colours, cartoon characters, and phrases that begin "learning powered..." They claim to care about innovation, clarity and coherence, quality and detail, and long-lasting effects. If you ask me it's a long way round of saying "we get the job done"! They cater for primary and secondary schools providing things like posters, activity banks, and interactive quizzes as well as live talks and presentations. The staff here, rather than the directors, are really helpful.

One morning, I was on the phone to my cousin who was sad as she was saying that before she lost her…read morehusband, they'd have gone to the seaside on such a lovely day. As soon as I put the phone down, I spotted a bargain break to the Royal Hotel - and was pretty sure she'd never been to Weston, so thought it was a great birthday present for her. We kept it as a surprise and were joking about taking her glamping for the weekend. She knew full well that wasn't our style, but when we walked into the hotel, she was rather overwhelmed with what a lovely place it was. And that was before we showed her the room we'd got - a four poster bed with seaview which was lovely. As was the shower, if only the water pressure had been good enough - we also had problems in our room, so presume it's a hotel wide problem. Our room was at the back, and overlooked a couple of late night bars, which made us very grateful to have brought ear plugs - there were no such problems at the front of the hotel, though - even with a wedding in full swing!! We also liked the fact there was plenty of trouble free parking for residents. On our first night, we left it quite late to eat, so were grateful that the hotel restaurant was still open until 10. We were the only ones in, which is a huge shame as the food was delightful and even though the prices were quite steep for Weston, the quality made the food value for money. I started with the beetroot cured gravlax bellini, as did my husband, which was beautifully presented - my cousin had the wild mushrooms - a huge portion! Both my husband and cousin wanted to try the veggie savoury bread and butter pudding, however, there wasn't any, so they both plumped for the stuffed acorn squash and said it was really lovely. I went for the pan friend ostrich fillet which was slightly chewy, but very flavoursome - and went especially well with the nutmeg creamed spinach. We were too full for a dessert - we weren't rushed to make a decision, but as soon as we did, the kitchen staff all left to go home! There's enough to do in Weston for a weekend break - and it's only down the road from some other lovely touristy spots such as Bristol, Bath, Glastonbury, Cheddar Gorge etc. The hotel and restaurant are both delightful - a real gem for Weston and I look forward to a return visit.

As far as wedding venues go, Rookery Manor is certainly one of the prettiest ones I've ever had the…read morepleasure of visiting. I attended a family wedding at the weekend, with both the ceremony and the reception taking place there. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into the exterior. Classy fairylights (yes, they exist) decorated the trees, wooden walkways and external seating areas. The well-cared for pond, seating area and grounds are bathed in mood lighting, and romantic music is played late into the night. Perfect for a spot of dancing away from the crowds. The staff were excellent, and the reception took place in a beautiful room with a ceiling covered in twinkly lights. The food was nice and fairly fast. The only downside was the smaller bar and the short supply of bread rolls. For a smaller wedding (Under 150 guests) this is the perfect, intimate venue. Plus you can hit up W-S-M pier the next day. Which, obviously, is the best way to get rid of a hangover.

And the manager Nigel was super helpful & professional. As well as Sasa who works the restaurant. He really made our trip special. So most of the people that work there are super nice. But the place is not run very well at all. It very difficult to book a spa treatment. We called days before & no one got back to us. When we did finally get a treatment they over charged for a treatment that wasn't given. Our room wasn't serviced as house keeping was under staffed. The bedside lamp didnt have a bulb in it. There weren't enough towels for 2 people...etc. Just very under staffed. Also the restaurant menu was very limited & not the best food. So we had a pleasant stay but with more attention to detail, it could be a lot better. For those reasons I give 4 stars instead of 5.
