Accommodation & Restaurant Reviews
Riva, Inverness
FAST FOOD BY THE RIVA
"When the waiter collected my half-full plate, he enquired if I had "eaten too much already", which is hardly the approach I would expect a waiter to take, and not a very tactful one either" ... Read More »
Roslin Beach, Southend
MIXED EMOTIONS AFTER TWO 3 NIGHT VISITS
"Unfortunately, it wasn't until I had been served a variety of dishes, including greasy Whitebait, not spicy "spicy chicken wrap", a nice (but incorrectly-cooked) steak, (with unsalted fries & no salt) and an OK burger (with pre-salted fries & salt on the tray), that I discovered the hotel's terrible hygiene rating! I must remember to check these ratings before booking my hotels, and certainly before eating in them." ... Read More »
Novotel, Wembley
NOVOTEL WEMBLEY SCORES HIGHLY
"I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptionally warm welcome I received upon check-in, which was as efficient as it was warm. Immediately upon approaching the hotel it's abundantly evident that this is a hotel offering a smart and professional standard." ... Read More »
Cabana Brazilian, Wembley
DEAD COWS AND DEAD GOOD SERVICE
Each of the girls that looked after us were professional, attentive, friendly and to be frank, proved to be what will be the lasting memory of my visit... Read More »
IBIS Budget, Birmingham Centre
VERY CHEAP, QUITE CHEERFUL
"Being part of a stag party, the room was only ever going to be a place to rest my drunken head, so I opted to enjoy the £2.00 housekeeping discount, and pick my own towels up off the floor." ... Read More »
Premier Inn, Whitehaven
BUDGET ACCOMMODATION DONE WELL
"I stayed here for just one night, following my cycling trip from 'Coast to Coast,' (Whitehaven to Sunderland). Rather than rushing back home after a tough few days, a few of the other cyclists and I booked rooms so we could have a meal and a few drinks to celebrate our achievement." ... Read More »
Park Inn, Walsall
IT'S RADISSON JIM, BUT NOT AS WE KNOW IT
"Check-in was fine, or at least I thought it was until I arrived in my room. Despite specifically requesting a room without an adjoining door, that's exactly what I got, so it was an unnecessary and frustrating return to reception for me. Incompetence on that level is hard to fathom, which makes me wonder if people do things like that on purpose for a bit of sport?!" ... Read More »
The Orange Tree, Sawbridgeworth
VILLAGE PUB DOES GASTRO GRUB
"What can now only be described as a Gastro-Pub, (which is not an insult), The Orange Tree is a very tastefully renovated old village boozer. I suspect you’ll no longer see a crowd of pals at the bar, laughing raucously at a filthy joke, no more than you’ll see a dart board or a game of cribbage being played, as businesses have had to evolve to survive." ...

Peking Palace, Sawbridgeworth
THE FOOD IS AS TIRED AS THE DECOR
"the only difference we could detect between the beef and the chicken, would be that of the two, the beef was a little more chewy!" ... Read More »
Dakota Glasgow
ALWAYS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
"The very best features of this hotel however, are not to be found in the fixtures, fittings or spec, but those that truly determine how each visit will be remembered, which are food and service. Both are excellent!" ... Read More »
