Reviews of Hotels in the UK & Around the World
Here you can browse and read all my reviews on hotels we’ve stayed in around the world.
Firsthand opinions on all types of hotels in a variety of locations.
Lodore Falls Hotel
Lake District Hotels, a family-run business, owns a range of hotels covering all needs. If you want to be town-based, there is the Skiddaw in the heart of Keswick. If you want an unbeatable lakeside [...]
Low Wood Bay Hotel – Lake District
