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.

A beautiful gift to receive - a night in a Castle !

We loved our visit to the Castle for my birthday - we had a champagne afternoon tea, a lovely dinner and then somehow fitted in breakfast too. A fantastic castle and grounds. My opportunity to be a princess for a day !

Beautiful location with stunning views

I bought this gift for my boyfriend for Christmas and we chose this week as it was our year anniversary. We booked it with the voucher I had and booked to have breakfast as well. We arrived and given our keys straight away. We went up to our room and although could do with a bit of a refurbishment was lovely enough. It was spacious and bright with a lovely view of the river. Water pressure was a bit low but again it was lovely soft water in comparison to our hard water. We had plenty of tea and coffee and water. Breakfast was lovely and included continental and cooked so we had so much to fill us. Staff were so lovely and we felt well looked after. Thank you Royal Lodge for a wonderful couple of days away. We will be back!

Perfect Birthday Treat

I brought this experience for my husband’s 50th Birthday surprise. We had a fabulous stay, the staff were exceptional & really stand out, especially the restaurant manager (Ruby I think) who went above & beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening, she is such an asset to the restaurant. Our food was delicious, wine was good & service impeccable. Our room was ok, we were hoping to be in the main building, it were in the Priory which is a separate building, the room needed a little TLC, especially in the bathroom, it was overall clean & comfortable with a beautiful window seat. We had a lovely stay.

A very welcome break

We enjoyed a very welcome break at Rutland Water, using our buyagift voucher. The hotel is in a beautiful setting within easy reach of Rutland Water. We brought our e-trikes with us, so we could cycle along the shores. We set off after an excellent hotel breakfast, and had a perfect break away from home.
