Windsor Inn- Windsor Out

Advantages: Good location, triple room available, price
Disadvantages: Lots of stairs, NO HOT WATER, Not very clean

...~~The Windsor Inn~~ ~~Booking~~ A girls holiday was in order and Cork seemed like the perfect location as it was slightly cheaper than Dublin but there was still lots to do. After trailing through many search websites we finally came across The Windsor Inn hotel. So this is where our problems began. We booked the hotel through booking.com and got to the end of the whole confirmation part and paid when a pop-up came along saying the room we'd paid for was not available. I tried contacting booking.com who confirmed that no payment had been made, I even phoned my credit card company to make sure. So an hour later we'd booked another hotel and I went to my emails and low and behold I found that I had confirmation of the Windsor Inn saying that we did have the room. (I eventually paid for 2 hotels in the end and had a real problem...

Windsor Life

Advantages: trouble free investments
Disadvantages: not managed by company

...Introduction: I have been a customer of Windsor Life for about 15 years so I thought it might be useful for me to share my experiences with you. I took out a private pension and a long term Additional Wealth Plan with them shortly after buying my home. A little background on Windsor Life: Windsor Life Assurance was purchased in 2004 by Swiss Re Group, which has been a well known insurer to other insurance companies since 1860. Its headquarters in the UK are in Telford and has managed more than 75 million in funds under management. It specialises in investments be they lump sum, regular savings, life insurance or pensions. When I took out my policies it was with General Portfolio, however they then changed name to GAN and then were taken over or sold to Windsor Life. My good experiences with the company: I have been...

Legoland Windsor...Quick Day Trip Guide

Advantages: Lots to See and Do
Disadvantages: Expensive, Queues and short ride times

...Firsty I am going to keep the review to the main points. This is just my opinion and we will all make our own minds up. Trip early July 09 Legoland Windsor. Cost: Cons: Well lets be honest its not cheap: 1 Day Adult Ticket (16-59 yrs) £33.30 1 Day Child Ticket (3-15 yrs) £25.20 1 Day Senior Ticket (60+ yrs) £25.20 So for a typical family of 4 its over £100. Pros: The upside is that they must know its expensive because you can find find reductions in the ticket price all over the place. we go ours from a box of Walkers Crisps. The average reduction reduces the price of each ticket by 50%, better but still expensive. *Top tip: Look for discount vouchers, also available on Legoland web site* Travel and Parking: Pros: Its easily found with good signage. Cons: Congestion the nearer you...

Review of Legoland Windsor

Legoland Windsor

Advantages: Many different attractions which include unique sculptures made from LEGO
Disadvantages: A day is not really enough to explore the whole park.

...Lego Land Windsor What can I say, I went here on a school trip with my daughter, we travelled via coach which took around 1 ½ hours to get there. My personally opinion this is too long for children to be on a coach, especially 5/6 year olds. But this was more to do with the school, and not the place. Also this hinders you as you do not have as much time to explore the park. Now the park itself has plenty of Attractions from towns and building built entirely form LEGO, to rides. The most amazing thing about the park is the Lego and what can be achieved with time effort and plenty of money. Throughout the Park are man made sculptures made form LEGO, including a girl and boy which are situated outside the toilets. These were a great idea as the children new exactly which toilet to go to. So keep your eyes open as you...

Brick your pants at Legoland Windsor

Advantages: Friendly staff, good facilities, easy to reach
Disadvantages: Th egift shop prices !

...or the website is wrong ! ~~~ Getting There ~~~ As I live in Newbury, Berkshire, getting to Legoland was very easy - hop onto the M4 and leave at junction 6 heading towards Windsor. Legoland is clearly signposted from the M4 and if I can find it then anybody can (I still get lost going to my mum's house). If you take the train then you can travel direct to Windsor and then catch one of the regular buses from the station straight to the park. The road system within the park has a speed limit of 20mph which is blatently ignored by some people who obviously consider themselves such good drivers that they can safely stop if a young child runs out in front of them, no matter what speed they are doing. There is ample parking with pavements to get to the park entrance too. ~~~ Opening Times ~~~ The park is open from around mid-March to...

Review of Legoland Windsor

Windsor. Well Worth Visiting

Advantages: Royal town, Hstory. Culture. Great Tea Rooms,
Disadvantages: Very touristy. Gets Crowded in the Peak Season

...resting place of numerous royal personages including Charles I,Henry VIII and wife No 3, Jane Seymour. The town of Windsor and the adjoining Eton- to get to Eton you cross Windsor pedestrian bridge-is a very graceful one with some fine Georgian and Victorian architecture.There is the magnificent Guildhall,completed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1689, and the lovely Theatre Royal. Then there is Burfurd House where it reputed Charles I kept for his mistress Nell Gywn and the very charming Eton High Street with its little book shops,antique dealers and galleries. Whilst in Eton do check out Eton College which was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI and today has close to 1300 pupils. It is,of course,one of the most exclusive schools in the world and educated no less than 20 prime minsisters including Walpole, Pitt the Elder, Douglas Hume, and Harold...

Review of Windsor in General

A Universal experience

Advantages: Great rides, lots of fun
Disadvantages: Prices

...Yet another stop on my tour of Florida's theme parks with three of my friends was Universal Studios. Universal is linked to Islands of Adventure and we did both parks in one day due to limited time, although I'll review them separately. LOCATION: Universal Studios is in Orlando, Florida. As with most Orlando attractions it is fairly well signposted. You just need to get onto the I4, the main road through Orlando, and it is signposted off this. There is a ridiculous amount of parking available. Make sure you remember which character and which number you are parked in otherwise you'll be searching for that rental car for hours! Each section is named after a Universal character such as Spiderman, the Cat in the Hat and ET. PRICES: This is a theme park in Orlando so don't be expecting a cheap day out! You can buy lots...

Legoland Windsor - Great family day out

Advantages: Plenty of rides for the whole family to go on together/shoes+special events
Disadvantages: You could end up spending a fortune on top of the entrance price

...First things first-Where is Legoland and how do you get there? Legoland in England is situated in windsor a very lovely part of England. We( My son my friend and I )travelled here by car ,Legoland is on the B3022 windsor/Ascot road just 2 miles from windsor town centre.Legoland is within easy reach via the M25 and is clearly sign posted from M3 (JUNCTION 3) m4(junction 6) and all approaches. Parking is free although if you want to be SUPER CLOSE to the park you can pay starting from £5.00 (personally I thought the standard car park was close enough-less then 5 mins walk away-Don't forget where you leave your car!!). ANYWAY!! Opening times vary throughout the year depending on when you go the park uses the following opening tiimes 10am-5pm/10am-6pm/10am-7pm (opens later for all of August) We arrived in time to enter the park...

University?

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: quality of teaching, University ranking, staff, culture

...I would not recommended this Uni, and would definitely think twice before spending or going into dept to get a degree from Westminster University. Getting the right degree from a good University these days is very important and Westminster University cannot provide it (again based on my experience). Below some general thoughts after attending business related degree from that University. I have graduated with business degree. Very low level of teaching. I have started similar degree outside the UK, where level of teaching in secondary school could be more intellectually challenging than attending majority of core modules throughout this degree. On top of that the attitude of tutors towards teaching, students is bad. Many of them (not all of them) are unenthusiastic, and with no experience (or qualities) of teaching in some...
