Lovely stay in Derby

We stayed at the Leonardo hotel smack bang in the middle of Derby. Huge hotel with friendly staff. Parking at the hotel is £8 for 24hours. Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby . Derby has a big shopping centre about a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was fantastic so much choice and everything hot and fresh. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Really fun experience

Port Lympne Reserve is a wonderful place to visit. It's a huge place, takes around 2-3 hours to walk around, and thats not including the safari you can do (which is included in this voucher) and the free talks that go on during the day. The actual stay was wonderful too. The pinewood pods are a great little glamping experience. They are small, but as the 4 of us staying are close, we didnt mind the close quaters. They are also close to the animals (we could see the lion enclosure from our pod and the big cat talk was right by us too which was lucky) so in some ways as good as some of the other accommodation the reserve offers. We perticularly liked the fire pits just outside the pods that we spent much of the evening sitting by, roasting marshmallows. This voucher was great also because of the inclusion of the safari, and breakfast on the second day. Honestly felt well worth the money. Although not included, we had dinner and lunch on site and the food was just wonderful. They cater to most dietary requirements, and are incredibly helpful. All in all, I felt this voucher was well worth the money for 4 of us to have 2 days of great fun!

Excellent value

Forresters is set in charming Middleton in lovely Teesdale and near many other attractions such as Raby castle. The rooms are very comfortable with excellent beds, the food is top quality French cuisine at ordinary prices or standard food such as burgers or chilli con carne if you want that instead. The bar is friendly and good value and Franck a great host. If you want quieter rooms away from the bar just ask. This is one of the loveliest and best value places in the UK and Middleton itself is a friendly unspoilt large village still with a wide range of facilities, including several excellent cafes, pharmacy and supermarket, that you wouldn’t normally expect nowadays even in much larger places and where the community is a good mix including of all ages.
