The Great Grange

Advantages: Great Location, Huge Executive Rooms
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...I stayed at the Grange Holborne for 2 nights in April 2005. The trip was a special birthday treat for my mother and it was important to me that the hotel was particularly special. When I was looking for a hotel for our stay I saw that this came highly recommended by a number of websites and so booked an executive twin at a cost of £135.00 per night. On checking in we quickly noticed that, although the reception area was quite small, the staff all seemed to be incredibly efficient and helpful. We arrived quite early and although our room wasn't ready they quickly arranged for us to leave our luggage so that we could get on with enjoying our trip to the big city. Although the room we had reserved was an executive twin, I think we may have been upgraded to a mini-suite (I had emailed the hotel to tell them about Mum's birthday when I...

THE GRANGE, LONG WITTENHAM, BED & BREAKFAST

Advantages: friendly owners, good location
Disadvantages: none

...My husband is originally from Wallingford in Oxfordshire. Most of his family live in North Devon as do we, but we travel up occasionally to see some of his old friends. Last year we were looking for a cheap B&B in the Wallingford area and this was the closest that we could find. Long Wittenham is a lovely village which is about a 15 minute drive from Oxford. The village itself has three pubs which all serve good food and entertainment. The Grange is a small Bed & Breakfast in Long Wittenham. We have stayed there two years running over the Easter weekend so I thought I would write a review on them. Graham Neil runs The Grange. It only has around four bedrooms, only one of which is ensuite. Mr Neil lives there with his wife and his two dogs, Florrie and Harriet. EASTER 2005 +++++++++++++ This was our first visit to...

Review of The Grange, Long Wittenham

The Grange, good but it should be exellent !

Advantages: Good location, nice food , wi-fi service provided
Disadvantages: Limited parking space, over priced

...I'm a huge fan of York and frequently pay visits to this historic town, I have stayed in a fair few of the good hotels York has to offer. As a nice weekend treat in before christmas in december I decided to try The Grange as it holds a very high reputation throughout York and is generally seen as a quality hotel. Anyway on to my stay at The grange, first impressions the building is situated within waking distance from the town centre which is handy but the building is not set back from the road so noise can become a problem in the front rooms as the road in which it is located (bootham) is a main road in York and is busy at most times.Next onto the parking faciities, I consider these to be quite inadequate for a hotel of this size it has 40+ rooms with little room for more than 20 cars and also needs to allow space for people...

Review of Hilton Moorside Grange, Higher Disley

Staying in the heart of the Peaks

Advantages: Great location, cheap and cheerful, breath taking views, owners that leave you alone
Disadvantages: LAck of facilities, poor men's showers, small fishing pond

...the one that appeared to be in the best location. The campsite selected was Shallow Grange Farm based in the heart of the Peak District two miles from the village of Chelmorton and a short drive away from Bakewell. Location and getting there From Buxton you follow signs for the A515 southbound, signposted Ashbourne. At Brierlow Bar, turn left onto the A5270 (Old Coalpit Lane). The farm is on the left hand side approx 500m from the turning. It is easily identifiable due to the large sign outside. From Chesterfield/Bakewell: Approximately ½ mile after the dual carriageway section of the A6 around Taddington, turn left onto the A5270, which is clearly signed. Follow the A5270 for around 1 mile. After the turnings for Chelmorton you will see Shallow Grange on the right hand side. When I spoke to the owners I was warned...

Review of Grange Hill

Mr Darcy.....the book with bite!

Advantages: A twist on the original.
Disadvantages: The idea is outrageous!

...After reviewing a book that I state as being a relief from the endless vampire books that I have to read, I know I shouldn?t really moan, they are my favourite, I am now reviewing the newest vampire book to cross my path, thanks entirely to my darling husband! The book I will now review is - ?Mr Darcy - vampire, by Amanda Grange? I have to be honest, after my husband presented this to me the other week, looking extremely pleased with his find I might add, I was gob smacked that someone had had the audacity to mess with a classic, that was until read it that is! The story, if you hadn?t twigged yet, is centred around the two main characters of the original story ?Pride and Prejudice?, these being Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. The story begins pretty much where the original finished, albeit by a few pages! It is...

Review of Mr. Darcy, Vampyre - Amanda Grange

JUST SAY YES

Advantages: Lots of great 80's tunes
Disadvantages: Apart from the title track and the era, what is the link with Grange Hill?

...When I saw this advertised round about Christmas time, and expressed an obvious desire for some of the tracks detailed, my wife decided it might make a nice stocking filler from the children. So having received it did I find it to be a cracker, or did I go all cold turkey over it. Once I have reviewed each of the individual tracks I am sure you will get a better idea. However, before I review the individual tracks I think it only right that I introduce the concept of Grange Hill to anybody who may not have heard of the likes of Zammo, Tucker, Gripper, Mr Bronson and co. Now for anybody growing up as a teenager in the later 1970's and the vast majority of the 1980s Grange Hill was the programme which we as kids all loved and our parents hated with equal aplomb. This is because it was set in a comprehensive school and all...
