Two night stay

Me, my wife and our dog had a two night stay at the BQA in Thornhill at the end of January. We had a wonderful time. On arrival we were greeted by Ralph who offered us the choice of two different rooms. We chose room 11 at the rear of the hotel where there was parking right outside our door. It also made it easier to take our dog walkies. We had dinner in the restaurant both nights. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The £50 voucher towards our meal on the first night helped towards the overall cost. The staff were helpful and friendly to us and our dog. This made our stay very relaxing, and we would love to return in the future. Our room was lovely and clean. Spacious room and bathroom, with clean towels and coffee and teas available. Thanks again to Ralph and his team for making our stay so welcoming and relaxing.

Birthday treat

From the moment we arrived to our departure Fiona and Paul were more than helpful and full of advice when required The pod we stayed in was sited next to the lake and had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stay. The site was very quiet,well kept, clean and tidy, it was nice to find that motion activated lighting helped getting around after dark. The fishery has a great choice of pegs to fish from, lily pads, overhanging trees and is very well stocked which provides great sport. Many thanks to Fiona and Paul, we will be back p s. The pub nextdoor serves an excellent choice of meals.

2 Night Break

We went to Lincoln for 2 nights, staying at the Premier Inn City Centre. Very convenient for all the sights. Hotel staff all very friendly. Clean room and we got lucky with a great view. Ate dinner at the hotel one night and the food exceeded our expectations. Lincoln itself is lovely and Steep Hill is very aptly named.

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.
