Spa First Timer
Caradawn about Champneys Springs (Ashby-de-la-Zouch)
My sister had been planning on taking me to a spa for a while and I finally relented and found time for it this year. I have never done this sort of thing before because it tends to be rather expensive and I wasn't really comfortable with the idea of facials, massages and the intimacy that I [...]

Good food, poor service
guest about Restaurant Sat Bains With Rooms (Nottingham)
I booked this for a wedding anniversary meal and got a confirmation by email. Then my baby boy went into hospital with dehydration and a viral stomach infection the day before we were due to go and eat. The email from the restaurant detailed the cancellation policy of £90 per person if you cancel. [...]

Just needs a couple of coats of magnolia
koshkha about 78 Derngate (Northampton)
Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a name so deeply and intrinsically linked with Scottish art and architecture that its not surprising to find he was only ever involved in the design of one building south of the border. What is surprising is that the house wasn't a big grand mansion in London or a major [...]

Could Be Better
Caradawn about Westfield Derby (Derby)
In 2007 Derby opened the brand new shopping centre that is Westfield Derby. It is an extension and refurbishment on what was the Eagle Centre. On our visit we chose a familiar entrance through what was the Eagle Centre Market and is now more simply known as the Eagle Market. First impressions were [...]

Quality Food in Cosy Surroundings
Caradawn about The Bulls Head (Denby)
I'm not usually one to wax lyrical about restaurants. In fact I have a tendency to get put off reasonable ones by little things building up over time. I seem to have a particular problem with the restaurants running out of whatever I fancy on the menu. However, The Bulls Head is one restaurant I [...]

The Conqueror's Jail
martin0201 about Lincoln Castle (Lincoln)
Living in Lincoln, I have never really appreciated the true greatness of this castle. It is for this reason I have decided to write a review, not only to let the world know of its greatness but also to remind myself just how amazing it is. History Built in the 11th century by William the [...]

Lincoln's magnicent Cathedral
micksheff about Lincoln Cathedral (Lincoln)
No visitor to Lincoln can fail to see its Cathedral, which along with Lincoln Castle dominates the town and both of these impressive landmarks can be seen from many miles around. Construction of the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln, to give it its full title, began in 1092 [...]

Caudwell's Mill and Craft Centre
micksheff about Caudwell's Mill and Craft Centre (Matlock)
Located just off the busy A6 trunk road at Rowsley near Matlock in the heart of the Peak District National Park is where Caudwell's Mill and Craft Shop is to be found. I would describe this as one of those little gems that I occasionally stumble upon whilst out walking in the Derbyshire's [...]

Beautiful View?
Helencbradshaw about Belvoir Castle (Grantham)
Belvoir Castle and Estate is located in Leicestershire, approximately 11 miles from Melton Mowbray, and a similar distance from Bingham. I have driven past it several times, and as it is so close to me, I felt it was essential to check it out sooner rather than later, to see if it can offer what my [...]

A Mere 12 miles for me...
Helencbradshaw about 4550 Miles from Delhi (Nottingham)
I was first attracted to the restaurant 4550 Miles from Delhi, by its very name. I had walked past it one Sunday night when it was closed, and it stuck with me as a place to eat some time. That some time finally arrived a few days ago. The restaurant itself was runner up in the 2005 Nottingham [...]

PALACE OF THE PEAK!
tange about Chatsworth (Bakewell)
In my previous review about Haddon Hall I mentioned about how lucky I am to live near so many historic houses and castles. One of the most impressive, and possibly well known, of the ones not too far away form my house is Chatsworth House. WHERE IS CHATSWORTH? Chatsworth House is in North [...]
Cafe Bleu

Good food fine Art
Helencbradshaw about Cafe Bleu (Newark-on-Trent)
Newark is a bustling little market town, and has quite a selection of individual restaurants along its Castlegate. Café Bleu had first come to my attention earlier this year, when I was looking for a restaurant for a birthday celebration. Café Bleu won the Best Out of Town restaurant in the 2006 [...]

Quality, Fresh and Local
Helencbradshaw about The Chesterfield at Bingham (Bingham)
The Chesterfield at Bingham is a recently renovated pub / restaurant, which probably opened around eighteen months or so ago. Since that time it has quickly established itself as one of the nice eating places in the East Notts area. I have made several visits over the last few months, including [...]
Kenwick Park

Overpriced - not a great advert for Best Western
martin0201 about Kenwick Park (Louth)
Me and my girlfriend visited Kenwick, and in the car on the way there we jokingly said that it was the sort of place we would like to get married. Well one thing is fo definite, even if we do want to get married in that sort of place it won't be Kenwick Park. Poor service combined with the refusal [...]

Otters and owls galore in the Peak District National Park
micksheff about Chestnut Centre (Chapel-en-le-Frith)
The Chestnut Centre is a wildlife sanctuary located in Derbyshire near Chapel en le Frith. I had seen the signs to this attraction many times on my regular visits to Castleton and I decided to pay it a visit one Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago. The Chestnut Centre opened in 1984 and covers 50 [...]

Helencbradshaw about City of Caves (Nottingham)
Having lived close to Nottingham for a few years now, one attraction which seems to stand out is the Nottingham Caves. As you drive into Nottingham you cannot but fail to notice that the town is situated on sandstone, and the prominence of caves are apparent in the Castle area and Brewers Yard. The [...]

A Real Taste of History
tange about Haddon Hall (Bakewell)
The area of Derbyshire I live in is great for anyone with an interest in history. We have some excellent places to visit, including some notable stately homes, historic houses and castles. Chatsworth House is perhaps the most famous, but there are many others that are well worth a look. Bolsover [...]

Thornbridge Hall
micksheff about Thornbridge Hall (Ashford-in-the-Water)
Thornbridge Hall is a large stately home in Derbyshire. It dates from the 11th century but in more recent years was purchased by Sheffield City Council in 1945 who continued to own it until 1997. During its ownership by Sheffield City Council it was used for educational purposes and I spent a [...]

A day out that's for the birds
koshkha about Icarus Falconry (Holdenby)
Icarus Falconry is housed in the grounds of Holdenby House - a stately home just a few miles from the Midlands town of Northampton. From this gorgeous setting Icarus offers a variety of 'experiences' from a half day with the hawks and owls for £60 per person, to a full day falconry experience for [...]
