Tankersley Manor Hotel

Advantages: Excellent Location
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive

...Tankersley Manor is a place that I have been to a few times over the years and it was also the location of my work's Christmas Party at the end of last year. It is a well known Hotel and Restaurant with a good local reputation. THE BACKGROUND From the outside Tankersley Manor is quite impressive to say the least, standing in its own well maintained Gardens and Grounds and surrounded by Woodland the building itself is a rather imposing Stone built building. The Hotel as you see it today has been extensively restored but it has been built around a 17th Century Manor House that once occupied the location. THE FACILITIES Tankersley Manor has a Restaurant, a Health Club and 70 rooms all with en suite facilities. Much of the building has been restored to its original character and there are original Oak beams on the ceilings...

Stratford Manor A Tranquil Retreat

Advantages: Clean, friendly, child friendly, pets allowed, lovely environment
Disadvantages: Can get very busy with slow service and not all staff are very friendly

...Earlier this year we decided that it was time for a much needed break and what better place to spend it than in Shakespeare Countryside, Stratford Upon Avon? Having lived in Coventry which is in the West Midlands I am familiar with Stratford Upon Avon and how beautiful it is. The scenery there is lush and it is definitely Shakespeare Countryside. As well as being a local tourist attraction Stratford Upon Avon is also a quite part of the Country. After purchasing overnight accommodation from Lastminute.com I was set for my journey. There were many short breaks to choose from, but I fancied Stratford Manor the most. Now all I needed to do was ask my parents if they would baby sit. They finally agreed after much persuasion and a few bribes. After all they love their Granddaughter even if she can be a bit of a handful at times. Setting...

Review of Stratford Manor Hotel, Stratford-upon-Avon

The Bridgewood Manor Hotel

Advantages: Lovely hotel, plenty of things to do.
Disadvantages: Poor location - need a car.

...This Bridgewood Manor Hotel, well I guess I should start with where it is. The address for this hotel is: Bridgewood Roundabout, Chatham, Kent. It is situated in Walderslade and is approx. 42 miles from London Gatwick Airport and 3 miles from Chatham Train Station. There are many things to do nearby - Chatham Dockyard is only 6 miles away, as is Rochester Cathedral. There's the infamous Bluewater Shopping Centre only 16 miles away and Leeds Castle is 10 miles away. Ideally, you would need a car to travel around but if you are only looking to explore the surrounding areas, there are a couple of buses that stop close by, and taxi's are fairly inexpensive. Now, let's talk about what you can in the Bridgewood Manor Hotel: This hotel boasts an excellent range of amenities including a health centre. Within this there is an indoor...

Review of Bridgewood Manor, Chatham

Manor Hotel, Crickhowell don't go there !

Advantages: Lovely location.
Disadvantages: Extrremely rude management, run down, shabby rooms, deep fried food...

...was no bath too...) The coffee at breakfast was actually instant coffee, but served in a cafetiere - what's the point of that other than duping guests ? This sort or measly behaviour is unforgivable in my book ! The general state of the hotel is shabby and run down - I don't expect it's a permanent feature, but there was an overflowing skip in the lower car park as part of our view - nice touch ! To make matters even worse, the food is grossly over priced considering quality - you'll get a much better meal for (admittedly only slightly) less at the Bear Inn in Crickhowell. I feel exploited and extremely angry that they have no concept of customer service and are quite happy to take my money and then tell me to "get out of the hotel"... To me, this does not seem like a reasonable and sensible way to run a business and certainly no...

Review of The Manor Hotel, Crickhowell

Excellent Hotel Well Worth A Look

Advantages: Good position, Excellent food, Excellent staff, Some nice rooms
Disadvantages: Lake views are a little far away, Some rooms require modernisation

...My wife and I have stayed at The Craig Manor Hotel a total of eight times in the last 3 years each time for two nights (Friday and Saturday), we have stayed bed and breakfast seven times and we took dinner, bed and breakfast once. The only reason for taking dinner just the once is that there are that many good resturaunts within easy walking distance that we would rather not be kept in - house. We have also stayed in a range of different rooms. It is in a good spot and has plenty of parking. Standard Room ****************** These are exactly as they say 'standard' we have stayed in two different standard rooms and they are quite basic really and the two we have stayed in were in need of modernisation, especially in the bathrooms, although they do seem to be working through the rooms as some others we have stayed in were newly...

Review of Craig Manor Hotel, Windermere

Great value for money hotel!

Advantages: food great selection, staff friendly close to town
Disadvantages: nothing

...I stayed at the Stonecross Manor Hotel with my friend and had a brilliant time. It is a superbly modernised leisure hotel in Kendal, right in the heart of the southern and central Lake District I'm really shocked at some of the negative feedback I've seen from people who have stayed at this hotel as I really enjoyed my stay. I'd read reviews slating the hotel before I booked it but after going to hotels in the past which I've really liked but heard negative feedback from them I knew not to take into account everyones views as we all have different expectations, and some of us are more fussier then others haha! First of all I'd like to mention how wonderful and welcoming the staff, they really made me and my friend Vicky feel right at home from the minute we entered the hotel! The food in the Stonecross Manor Hotel is...

Sprowston Manor - Delightful Countryside Retreat

Advantages: Large, good facilities
Disadvantages: Somewhat expensive, suprisingly low standard of service

...I was fortunate enough to be invited by my girlfriend's father to Sprowston Manor to celebrate his 50th birthday. I must say that every aspect of the stay was absolutely fantastic and I would not have any hesitation in recommending this old manor house hotel to anybody. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by a porter, who took our luggage into the lobby for us, and placed it upon a luggage trolley. After a slight delay at check in (as my girlfriends dad was wanting to pay using his Marriott loyalty card, and they didn't know how to do this!) we were on our way to our room, passing the swimming and sauna area on the way up. That was the first thing we did after getting to our room, we went for a swim. The pool isn't the biggest and I can imagine is quite unpleasant when crowded, but we didn't experience this, and perhaps never...

Review of Sprowston Manor Marriott Hotel and Country Club, Norwich

Marriott - Sprowston Manor Hotel and Country Club

Advantages: Great hotels, and facilities
Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE!!!

...After another argument with the little lady I was feeling stressed and in need of some TLC. "Right that?s it" I shouted, "We are going away for a night". To which she replied "where?? She had a point, i am only 21, I can?t drive and i am not rich in any way shape or form. Despite this I really needed a break from reality. The Christmas bonus had just been deposited into my bank account so I thought of the closest 4 star I could think of. "We are going to that big hotel on the Wroxham Road" said I not knowing the name at the time. So off we went, as we pulled down the seemingly endless drive from the main road I thought gosh this looks different to any hotel I had ever stayed in (i am more used to forte pothouses or similar!!). It was an impressive country manor type building with a beautiful fountain in the front courtyard. I...

Review of Sprowston Manor Marriott Hotel and Country Club, Norwich

A True family hotel

Advantages: Friendly personal service - nothing too much
Disadvantages: Very remote - you'd need to be in the area, no telephone in the rooms

...As a young female who has started a new job which entails staying away from home in hotels, I have found it a bit daunting to get the most out of my accomodation. I would often stay in my room and have room service rather than attempt to venture out into the bar / restaurant. I am recommending this hotel for anyone in a similar situation because I was made to feel totally home. My employer booked the hotel for me through a Corporate Hosptality Company (BIS) and my booking confirmation advised the tariff of £30 bed and breakfast per night. You get a spacious room with all the usual home comforts (including the tea pot which is sometimes scarce). There is a teletext television in every room. The furnishings are all quite modern and the owners take a lot of pride in the fact that they have also got a wonderful landscaped garden...

Review of Whaplode Manor Hotel (Lincolnshire)

A manor for all seasons

Advantages: Great for conferences
Disadvantages: Not overly romantic...if you want romance!

...Tankersley manor On a recent conference, I travelled to Barnsley and stayed in the four star Tankersley Manor Hotel, which is one of the Marston Group of hotels **Getting there** The hotel is situated between Sheffield and Barnsley From North and South-follow the M1 From East-take the M18 then join M1 North towards Sheffield/Leeds From West-take M62. Leave at Junction 29, which becomes Junction 42 of the M1 Exit the M1 at Junction 36 and follow the signs for A61 Sheffield. After half a mile, turn left onto Church Lane and Tankersley Manor is on the right. If travelling by train, it is about 3 / 4 miles from Barnsley train station and costs about £9. **ENTRANCE** When we drove in through the large gates, what struck me initially was the number of car parking spaces. This is definitely one place which has set...
