Fantastic show

My friends bought me a theatre voucher for my 60th birthday. Although the choice of shows is limited, there were plenty that we wanted to see. The main problem was that we can only go to London on Saturdays and, as you would expect, most of the shows were sold out. The price to upgrade to extend the tickets was crazy so in the end we plumped for Wicked as it was the only show with seats available. Similarly the only seats you could buy with the voucher we had were literally the furthest possible from the stage, and again the price to upgrade was crazy. However we could still see and definitely hear everything. The show itself was incredible- the theatre front of house staff were all lovely and very welcoming and the show was phenomenal. A fantastic gift!!

Fabulous Birthday gift

Lovely hotel with lots of history attached to it, it was the home of Stuart Sutcliffe (the '5th Beatle'). Lots of interesting memorabilia around the hotel, a must for any Beatles fan! Nice room, spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast, loads of food, all perfectly cooked. Really friendly staff. Right opposite Sefton Park, which is a beautiful place to wander around, (to walk off the breakfast!). We drove into the centre of Liverpool during the day, cost of parking varied between £10-£13, and used Uber's on the evening, £11-£12. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Liverpool.

Camellia Hotel

The Camelia Hotel in Southend was a welcoming and excellent place to stay. I would highly recommend it, especially for its outstanding restaurant, which offers high-quality dining for hotel guests.

Awesome day, so relaxing.

Beautiful hotel & friendly, helpful staff. We had a lovely swim & jacuzzi, showered then a delightful back massage followed by a facial. Got dressed then sat in the sun & ate a delicious Afternoon tea. It was such a lovely day, beautiful surroundings in awesome scenery & felt renewed & relaxed when we left. Wonderful!
