[koshkha, 07/07/2010] The Holiday Inn at Ellesmere Port is a lovely hotel in a (mostly) lousy location. The company I work for uses it as a back-up hotel when those nearer to the office are already full but increasingly people who’ve got any transport, prefer to go to the HI because it’s nicer than the local places. Most people who stay here will probably be visiting one of the industrial sites in the area such as the Stanlow oil refinery or the businesses on the Wirral. It’s not really a tourist destination although the hotel stands very close to the Ellesmere Port canal museum and a short distance from the Cheshi

[koshkha, 24/06/2009] Last month Sabine, one of my favourite colleagues from Germany, appeared in the office having forgotten to let me know that she was coming. As we both work for the same boss we generally like to get together and gossip unkindly about him whenever we get the chance. I'd not been expecting to see her so I'd not made any arrangements but we still wanted to try and get dinner together. On her last visit we'd found a place that she liked and she asked to return again since she'd enjoyed it so much before. As a good hostess, I wanted to give her what she wanted.
Fuxion is located in the Coliseum

[koshkha, 01/01/2009] Cheshire Oaks Outlet Centre is located at Ellesmere Port, just off the M56 at Junction 10 of the M53 and is well signposted from both motorways. Ellesmere Port, for those who don't know it, is a rather sad and unloved place on the Mersey estuary which, if you are seeing the glass half-full has a fairly interesting boat museum or if you are a glass half-empty soul, it's got a massive and sometimes very smelly oil refinery on its doorstep. Fortunately the refinery isn't as unpleasant as it used to be.
Cheshire Oaks is a McArthur Glen outlet centre, and is one of seven in the UK and 20 or so E

[frankiecesca, 20/12/2007] Cheshire Oaks designer outlet has been open quite a while now and at first it was lt my mother raved about - I presumed it must be pretty good and so decided to take a visit one day.
The is easily accesible by car and as this was the only way for me to make the journey as travelling from another town altogher I founbd it to be quite easy to find as it is signposted on the main motorway, however, I don't know how accessible it would be for guests travelling to it who didn't have their own transport.
The outlet is pretty big with ample amounts of free parking and has a variety of stores -

[Zmugzy, 20/12/2007] The main attraction of Cheshire Oaks for local shoppers is that it is supposed to offer cheaper prices for designer labels, specifically clothing, than you would find in most city centre locations for example. This is probably true, but given the fact that most designer labelled clothing is made in sweatshops by poorly paid east Asian workers and their children, this comes as no surprise and only highlights what a rip off such clothing is in the first place. Leaving this aside, Cheshire Oaks is the Pits of the Earth.
The cheap clothes are usually either seconds, out of season items or the

[rosehall, 29/06/2007] I was bought a'Dive With Sharks' at the Blue Planet Aquarium so this review will be based on that experience, rather than the blue plant aquarium itself.
In March 2000 my husband & I became qualified Divers in Goa with Barracuda Divers. My daughter who has this knack for buying really excellent presents decided to buy my husband for a Christmas present something with a bit of a bite. A dive with Sharks!! I helped her plan this but little did I know she was also planning to buy a dive with Sharks for me for me too. We were both chuffed to bits with our pressies.
Blue Planet is voted 10th
