THE GOING'S GOOD AT THE RUNNING HORSES
"With a bar full of locals and dogs basking before the huge inglenook fireplace, I immediately felt relaxed and the anonymous Selsdon Park was soon a memory that faded as rapidly as my mood chilled." ... Read More »
POSITIVE ELEMENTS SADLY OVERSHADOWED
" With hugely disappointing download stats of 0.46 mbps, it's easy to give a service like this away for free, especially when you actively promote an enhanced service at £9.95 for 24 hours, which is supposedly 5 times faster." ... Read More »
SUITABLE ONLY FOR MR & MRS SNUFFLEUPAGUS
"I headed to a different hotel, hopeful of a vacant room, that had not previously been occupied by a plethora of alopecic prehistoric mammals, having engaged in a sexual marathon, which was then 'cleaned' by the long since deceased, deafblind American author, political activist, and lecturer, Helen Keller." ...

NOT HOPPING HAPPY, JUST OK

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 »
