Best hotel, great staff, the bar was good, and the cocktail were good

Great location, great staff. Breakfast offerings were good and slightly above average.

Liked the bus driver/tour guide and his ability to offer insights while driving. He was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

We liked having a dedicated black cab driver and car to tour the locations. Driver was very friendly and pleasant to have for the day.

We enjoyed our walking tour guide and her efforts to tailor the morning walk to our needs

Great way to see many sights of London and have a relaxed dinner as well.

The experience was good just a very busy area.

Beautiful hotel walking distance to everything.

A more casual hotel - rooms were like an efficiency apartment

A few miles outside of Port Ellen. This was an excellent hotel even if you don't play golf. A truly luxurious stay.

This is a family owned old hunting lodge. Mom(Christian), son (Ian), and grandaughter are the proprietors. Ian is a truly wonderful chef. We had great food all through the trip, but dinner here was a highlight.

Well this was a pleasantly unexpected experience. Great music & food downstairs - hotel rooms upstairs.

A luxury hotel in the perfect location

Absolutely love this place. Former hunting lodge turned boutique hotel run by a mother and son duo. If you stay here, do not dine anywhere else other than at the lodge. The food was not only the best meal we had in Scotland, but one of the best I have had in the last year, and we dine at many high-end restaurants.

Rooms were very nice and clean. Checking in was a bit strange, not real front desk, etc. Many other hotels in same area that I would probably opt for if I went back to Inverness.

Never stayed in a Virgin hotel in the past. Will seek them out going forward. Perfect room. Perfect service. Perfect location. Perfect bar.

Just not what it was described. Guide was interesting but showed up with very little planned. Led with well this restaurant is closed, and that one is closed. Kind of like he was winging it as we went along. Told us we were ending with ice cream which I envisioned would be in a nice shop/creamery. Literally went into a convenience store where we got scoops from the attendant. Ice cream was fine, just not what you would expect on a "Food Tour".

Our party of six was airport-weary when we arrived, and we are grateful that The Mitre let us check in early. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Elwyn. We had 3 rooms and they were all excellent. The beds were comfy and housekeeping was attentive. (Thanks, Anju!) Breakfasts accommmodated all sorts of tastes, from fresh fruit over waffles to the full English breakfast. The location in Greenwich is extremely walkable with a convenient tube station and a neighborhood with its own personality, with less crows and hustle/bustle of central London. We would return here in a heartbeat. Thanks!

Our party of 6 adored the atmosphere at The Northey Arms. From the stately stone exterior to the charming upscale pub vibe to the inventive menu and the inviting outdoor seating, we loved this location. The rooms were inviting from the moment we walked in. Of course, a property can only be as good as its staff, and the staff of The Northey Arms functions like a well-oiled machine. The manager, Maddy, clearly has a top-notch training program in place, since all of the employees were a cut above. Katie, Chloe, Lottie, Marie, and Richard were all professional, friendly and helpful. The little touches like fresh flowers on the tables did not go unnoticed, and the food was memorably delicious. The mini-chocolate chip cookies served with tea were ever so yummy, and when we had to leave early on our last morning prior to the serving hours for breakfast, Maddy was kind enough to pack chocolate croissants for us to take along. We would return here in a heartbeat!

Sandra and Chris have created a delightful retreat in north Wales. Tastefully decorated common areas and bedrooms, a yummy snack and convenient tea tray/amenities in each bedroom, very cozy beds with down comforters. Breakfasts tables are laid beautifully and delicious breakfast served in attractive style. Sandra was very helpful with logistics and planning for local activities, transportation options, and recommendations.

Graham and Laura have created a delightful retreat in Oxford. Our party of 6 travelers had 3 rooms and all of us enjoyed our stay immensely. The property has an inviting drive up to a quaint country home and stables. The rooms have been beautifully updated with modern amenities, but with an attractive nod to their historic past. Two of the rooms had private backyards, and the peacocks wandering through the courtyard on occasion were an added bonus. The drawing room had a piano and sheet music as well as board games and a large table. The bedrooms contained an extremely helpful notebook with recommendations for activities and restaurants, as well as easy-to-follow instructions on transportation. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and while eating breakfast we had the added bonus of watching riders astride their show jumping horses. When the airline moved our flight 2 hours earlier, the staff kindly packed 6 take-away breakfasts with yogurt, fruit, croissant and juice for the ride to Heathrow.

We did not have a retired royal guard because we requested someone more knowledgeable of history and culture--we weren't interested in the "royal gossip." We were absolutely thrilled with our tour from Blue Badge Guide Olga B. Her love and appreciation for London are contagious! She gave an excellent balance of history and modernity, and was more than willing to answer every question and tailor the tour to our particular interests. She spoke to some local merchants and we were allowed to pop in and see notable features of their shops (such as Winston Churchill's tobacco merchant). She also made wonderful recommendations of what to do with our remaining time in London. We highly recommend Olga's tour for those who want to make the most out of their 3-hour overview of London.

Our punter, Angus, gave us a delightful trip and added helpful commentary along the way.

My host, Penny, was incredible. She was very welcoming upon my arrival. She was kind and made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. She also had great suggestions for local restaurants to try out. The BnB was cozy and just down the road from Bunratty castle!

Great location! The townhomes were very clean and comfy. The staff was very nice and helpful. They even made a bag breakfast for me for an early morning flight from Dublin back to the United States.

This place is an absolute must visit. With every creak of the historical floorboards, to the beautiful grounds and rooms, we felt like we’d taken a trip back in time. The proximity to the Castle Combe village is ideal, and the staff is intuitive and kind. Be sure to book afternoon tea while you’re here, and enjoy a few meals on-site. I left wishing I could just move all of my belongings in and take up residence. This place was magical, and a real trip highlight.

We only stayed one night. Hostess was fabulous in that she checked us right in, which allowed us to take a much needed nap after flying through the night. The room was clean, well appointed. Only issue is that building is very old with steep stairs and any older person with ortho issues may not find it feasible. Notably, the hostess lugged my 35 lb suitcase up the stairs like it was a pillow.

this inn is wonderful. the breakfast was delicious. the room was spacious, lovely, view of castle and roof tops. I would not want to stay in this room in warm weather as it is on 3rd floor and no A/C. The gulls were loud on the roof tops and their screams were actually welcome. the area was so beautiful, we wanted to get up early and get going. old building with steep stairs not good for anyone with joint issues. the staff was lovely, friendly, helpful. the restaurant (chapel area for breakfast) amazing with organ, lovely wood, everything just beautiful. very convenient to train station.

Lovely inn. Great breakfast A bit on the periphery of Bath Center but as a result, very quiet. Adrian, host, was very helpful and gave suggestions including walking tour which was fabulous. Room was basic. Overlooked back which was really no view at all. Room was clean and comfortable, we heard owls.

Location was great. Walkable to pretty much everything-- Cathedral, Shambles, Jorvik museum, gardens. The living area was very old and comfortable The pub next door was great and friendly. The staff/host also very kindly and friendly. Breakfast was good. My only issue was the tight quarters of our room. The room was clean, old, bed very comfy...just a bit tight and difficult to move around. would I take a bigger room and give up the location? No.

this tour was very nice the tour guide very knowledgable lovely views my only suggestion is that the driving be decreased and the tour stops longer than 20 minutes. I would have loved to spend more time in Grassington. I could have done without the Wallace and Grommet cheese place

Kevin was a great tour guide. loved the stops overall beautiful scenery

unfortunately, we did not go we chose to further explore York

didn't go. unfortunately too tired after long day of travel
