Premier Inn PLUS Room - Are They Worth Paying Extra? đczcams.com/video/qoyEDN3K9KM/video.html
I've seen that video.
No.
Iâd rather stay in belmarsh than this Godforsaken brexiteering hell hole
no
Not really, u just get a fridge, coffee machine, rainfall shower and different decor, I think that's it. It's nice but wouldn't want to pay much more for the extras, standard rooms are good enough at Premier.
I like when Gaby is joining in on the trips. Her emotions are often hitting the right note and she brings in alot of fun.
Weatherspoons have cracked the code. They get it right. They can take a wreck of a building and turn it into a gem. The local themes they use are a delight to behold. Their senior staff at their headquarters are extremely professional, very courteous and also friendly to deal with.
Yes our town Weatherspoons was our very old Post Office,hence its called The Penny Blackâ€
Northwich!! A great spoons.@@CheshireCat6639
Yep, whatever you think of the owners politics he deserves a huge amount of credit for helping to inject life back into many a dying high street, great value too.
2 or 3 years ago I did a really long hike and spontaneously decided to book into a Wetherspoons hotel instead of getting the bus home. For just ÂŁ35 I was over the moon for a basic clean room... it was inside a Tudor building, looked like an attic room with a tiny little window, that you had to crouch on the floor in the corner of the room to see out of. After hiking nearly 20 miles I didn't care. Happy memories!!
We have stayed in eight different Wetherspoon's hotels and each one is individual and unique and they all seem to feature art work from local schoolchildren. We have always been very impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms and the service is second to none! We would recommend them as excellent value for money and as a drinker of real ales there is always a good choice available and at redicuiously cheap prices!
Absolutely love weatherspoons ..a pub for the people
I don't think you can ever criticise Weatherspoons for the value for money they offer. The food may not be Michelin Star quality but I'm always amazed at how people moan about it considering how cheap the food actually is. I think the girl in the video was absolutely spot on when she mentioned a couple of times "for what it costs"
Itâs more to do with the pay and conditions for staff. Not about the value. The owner of the brand Tim Martin is a v shady character in hospitality and a supported of brexit. When I worked at their big Llyodâs collab pub in Camden we put out brexit beer mats in favour of brexit. Brexit had destroyed ties between the UK and many EU / International brands/ supply chains and more much of which hospitality and the bar industry rely on!
@@Drummerladd257 I have no connections to Weatherspoons whatsoever, however, would suggest you do some homework before you make your ridiculous comments.
I think you'll find Wetherspoons pays it's staff above the norm for bar/ hospitality work. I would also suggest, if you are unable to accept the result of the democratic Brexit result, this is not the place for you to cry about it! Try the Guardian.
@@Drummerladd257 I see, you were you claim once a part time, I guess student casual staffer at Lloyds, which all you can recollect is putting out beer mats - or in fact did you just pop in and this is your imagination? . Martin is not the 'owner of the brand' he is the Chairman of a Public Company in the hospitality retail sector. Wetherspoons have the best pay and conditions in the pub sector. They train their staff, give them career opportunities and proper paid holidays and pension arrangements. There is nothing shady about Tim Martin. So of ALL businesses in the UK which supported Remain quite hysterically, you single out one that did not. Business for Brexit was the most successful. of the campaigns
The rest you have to say about the EU is nonsense. Nothing about the pub sector relies on E supply chains and Martin stopped selling EU wines a long time ago because he found New World was preferred by customers . Withdrawing from that price fixing anti-competitive anti-democratic racket is NOT 'destroying' ties, the ties should never had been created. You know NOTHING about international trade, especially between UK and EU which the UK now has its biggest export figures to ever and we have reduced over-priced low value imports from there.
@@CandyMan2001 no. We don't like the owner because he used his position to push his polictical agenda in the form of Brexit propaganda beermats. It's a big difference.
@@graemep7791 how much more homework does he need to do as an ex-employee? And for that matter he was clearly not arguing about the result of the vote, so stop trotting out that claptrap about accepting the bloody result. But it's been a fantastic few years since we left right? Right?
I never knew Wetherspoons even did rooms. This genuinely looks great, as someone in Norfolk i'd definitely think about a night or two here for a cheap weekend, food and drinks.
Definitely
This is in great Yarmouth.
Theres 100s in Norfolk. The bell Norwich. The globe kings lynn. This one in Yarmouth. Been in most and all are worth the price. And a cheeky pint..
I stayed there in may , me and my 3 sons had a room each , was shocked by the standards , absolutely fantastic , we all had double rooms which were huge and spotless , massive bathrooms , one of my boys stays in a lot of hotels with his work , he said he's paid 4 times as much for rooms which don't match up to this weatherspoons(and he's a self confessed hotel snob) , I visit Yarmouth a lot and this is now my go to hotel ,wish I'd found it a few years ago
After a comma, just need one space. After a full stop you need 2 spaces. Ok? Like, and like. Ok? I am a trained secretary.
@@fionagregory9147 Spelling checked? Wetherspoons!
@@fionagregory9147 You are a trained bore. Go away.
This was only recently turned into a hotel upstairs as it did use to be storage. Been about 4 years.
@@fionagregory9147 I had no idea, that after a full stop as you say, you need to leave 2 spaces, I've never noticed and I read and write (a lot) in french and english. So after I read your comment I picked up a french magazine and mostly they're leaving 1 space and once in a while 2 spaces, then I looked in 2 books one french, one english and the use only 1 space. I'm puzzled. How about after a ! or ? is it 1 or 2 spaces, I'm serious, I'm very puzzled.
I looked at one more book, an old book, published in 1971 and I'm totally amazed, 2 spaces after every full stop. Now I undestand, it's the old way, and now I'm wondering Fiona Gregory if you were born in 1947? If it's the case I totally understand, just so you know my year of birth is 1958 so once again I totally understand. Have a pleasant day Fiona, good greetings from Québec!
Awww what lovely comments.. I canât believe I didnât notice that drawing that kid done on the wall such a cute touch. I look forward to our next one xx
đ€
All spoons have local touches
One thing about Wetherspoons is that they are all unique. McDonalds may be more profitable, but I like Wetherspoons model of pumping cash into big old landmarks in dying towns.
McDonalds take over their fair share of old and unique buildings too, though they are admittedly harder to find. The one that comes to mind immediately is the one near Newbury Park tube station, which is housed in a very large old pub.
I've stayed in a Wetherspoons hotel (The Hatchet Inn) in Newbury before a wedding. The hotel was fantastic and extremely quirky, with small staircases, rooms with massive wooden beams, rooms at the end of narrow corridors. Our room's were in a completely different building (it was like a small house) in the beer garden!
My wife and I enjoyed the Wetherspoons for dinner in Bristol, when we visited in 2005. And we enjoyed the Wetherspoons in Bath 3 years ago, also for dinner. I didnât know that they did breakfast or that they had hotels. We plan to return to the UK for a visit this spring and we will see if one of their hotels fit in our plans. Thanks for that information.
I read online, reviews by Brits bashing all Wetherspoons. But I thought they were okay. Maybe thatâs because Iâm an American tourist. Happy Christmas from snowy and freezing Wyoming USA!đđ
Wetherspoons are great & I bet the majority of those who criticise have never even been in one; they're just snobs. They also hate that Tim Martin voted for Brexit, so bash him every chance they get! Losers! đ€Ą
Well said totally agree đ..
Never stayed in a Wetherspoons hotel. This one looks superb, impressed with it. Would certainly consider one of their hotels depending on where staying/availability. Happy Christmas to you all. xx
thanks susannah , merry Christmas
Iâm so surprised at this hotel - really impressed for what you paid for the room. Thanks for sharing this one with us!
Our pleasure!
Gaby's comments about the pillows spot on! 'One not enough, two too much!' đ€ŁPleasantly surprised by the nice standard of the hotel rooms! Thanks Tim!
I was expecting a rather basic offering from a Wetherspoons' hotel but that room looked really nice. A good deal for ÂŁ79. I'd certainly stay at one. Now if only their food was up to the standard of their hotel rooms...
lol
I dont mind their food, like was said you get what you pay for.
I have had very good food at Wetherspoons, even the curry
I stayed in London for a weekend a couple of years ago. The ONLY decent meal we found was in the Wetherspoons by London Bridge. Everywhere else we ate was crap- including the ÂŁ60 a head (plus wine) restaurant in Covent Garden.
@@DM-it2ch The tourist traps are always shite. Best to find a decent little local pub for a proper hearty meal!
I stayed in the Dunfermline Wetherspoons hotel in Scotland a couple of years ago and I found the same experience. Incredible value, very clean, great rooms. Couldn't fault it and will definitely search them out if I'm ever on travels again.
To be fair - loads of hotels I've stayed in recently including quite expensive ones, haven't had their windows cleaned in years. They are absolultely filthy which is a shame if there is an actual view to look at. So i give a bit of props to Spoons for getting theirs cleaned even if it did knock you up a bit early ;)
Definitely impressed by this. Exceptional location too, and not far to stagger back to bed after a few pints :D
Most of weatherspoons buildings are spectacular.
I stayed at the Wetherspoon Hotel in Bridport, again the family room, and again it was huge with a great big bathroom. Quite a contrast from what you expect from a Premier Inn. Knowing the food and drink offering down stairs makes it a great marriage I feel. As most of them are new it will be interesting to see if they are able to maintain the quality.
We've had one in King's Lynn for over 20 years since they took over the old "globe hotel".
Stayed in spoons hotel in Worcester, it was a very similar room. Couldn't have been happier. Booked early, can't recall the price but was great value i remember.
definitely a pleasant surprise for that room, providing their okay-ish food i wasnt expecting any of the bells and whistles to be included with their hotel experience, but the room looked brilliant.
'Okay-ish' food.Do pray tell where you normally eat then?
@@uingaeoc3905 i like to just look for places in the area rather than wetherspoons
@@JacketOsu Sure, go and waste your money on third rate competitors to show you are PC.
@@uingaeoc3905 I'm quite flexible with where I stayed. You could quite easily pay a fortune on campsites . Come to think of it . đ
Been staying in the spoons hotel in Tavistock for the last 7 years or so .
Fantastic stay and value.
Far better than a lot of over priced hotels .
Cant beat spoons for value.
I agree, the Queens Head in Tavistock is excellent. Have stayed there twice and Tavistock is a lovely little town.
@@colindaysh640 we usually stay 3/4 times a year as we like seeing the bands at the Wharf.
Stayed in many spoons hotels, all of which have been spot on. The best I stayed in was in Great Malvern. Fab rooms, quiet, friendly staff too!
I stay in the Hop Pole in Tewksbury . Which is a wonderful old pub with beautiful rooms.....highly recommended....The wetherspoon Hotel in Thirsk is also superb!!!!!
Oh Tim, you're always commenting on dirty windows, so the fact that they're cleaning them is a plus! It was lovely to see Gabby with you. The price for that room was quite reasonable. Best wishes from Australia đŠđș â€
I visited my local spoons the other day. It was very busy, yet the food came really quickly. Very good service. Had worse from much poorer service from posher establishments.
Love the Troll Cart pub! Glad to see the Hotel is so awesome,. Will defo come for a stay! GY is amazing!
Wow what a great place to stay. I love Great Yarmouth and now i know where I will be booking for the future.
I love the spoons hotels...they get booked up very quickly...they are a tad more expensive than travel lodges but it's worth it for the food and bar..so it balances out the time you eat and drink...the downside is parking, not all their hotels have onsite parking and using nearby car parks can be very overpriced... I had to pay ÂŁ18 per 24 hours on one occasion
We have stayed in quite a few Weatherspoons and our summer driving holiday this year consisted of 3 weatherspoons. Bewdley.... great had a carpark. Rochester ....carpark by the station, bit of a walk away but reasonable price. Doncaster......carpark good walk away in the shopping centre, cost almost ÂŁ60 for 2 nights. Problem is you usually arrive in a busy town at 2pm ish too stressful to be driving around hunting for carparks. It's made us reevaluate future stays in any hotel.....it must have a car park.
Hi. I've actually been to a few Wetherspoons hotels Tim and I find them all very good. Andover, Wetherspoons was a real treat. Absolutely superb. Also stayed in Shrewsbury, Briar Rose (Birmingham), Ripon & Newport (Wales) - alas no longer a Wetherspoons. When on my leisure trips I always check out the local 'Spoons' hotels first!
Stayed in a weatherspoons hotel in Thirsk ,three tuns.listed building.
Doors into rooms small i had to duck to get in, and im 5ft 7 inches . Original 17th century doors and antique floor boards.throughout spotless and quality.
I never even knew weatherspoonâs did hotels, But I would definitely stay in one looks great đ
Never stayed in Wetherspoons Hotel before, and I'll consider it on my next trip.
Impressed they actually find someone to keep the outer windows clean. For a lot of hotels that I stayed and let you open the windows, you can find lots of spider webs at the corners, so I would rather keep the windows shut.
Looks really good, i was also surprised by the overall standard of the room you stayed in, i think i shall be booking a witherspoon hotel in the not to distant future due to your most informative review Tim. Many thanks keep up the good work.
Stayed in weatherspoons hotel in Hull,husband and i had a family room,very big room also. Impressive for weatherspoons,would definately stay in one again.
We were shown round the spoons hotel in Weston Super Mare when it first opened, it was absolutely fantastic
Suggestion for Tim, in York theres a wetherspoons called The Postern Gate. It isn't a wetherspoons hotel. But it is on the ground floor and is joined on to and shares the same outdoor space as a travelodge. It's bang next to the ouse and overlooks the castle museum. might be worth checking out!
Thanks oliver
Hi Tim and Gaby. It looked really lovely. I never knew weatherspoons did hotels but if they are all like the one where you stay I wouldn't mind.
Thanks for the review look forward to next Yvonne
I stayed at Wetherspoons Kings Head Hotel in Beccles⊠it was excellent for the money! Comfortable beds, big tv, great bathroom and very clean all for ÂŁ59 per night! Itâs a yes from me! đ
I don't think anyone could possibly find a fault with that room. Very cozy indeed.
Agree
Oh something different great tour and date night
Thanks for showing us a Wetherspoons hotel Tim. It looked comfortable and good value for what you paid. I tend to use Premier Inn when I go and visit friends around the UK and stay at one of those. I'll give Wetherspoons hotel a go next time instead!
Yes me too but now going to keep an eye out for these
Weâve stopped in a few Spoons hotels & theyâve all been the same excellent standard đ
10:20 that was an epic crunch
I stopped in the Tewkesbury one, was well shocked. The pub certainly didnt reflect the quality of the rooms.
I know! lol
Omg I literally stayed in this very room at the end of September for a weekend with my boyfriend. I was really impressed with the hotel, much nicer than I expected. When we stayed the lift wasn't working which was the only downside but otherwise a lovely hotel. Would definitely recommend. Such good value for money.
It's so good!
Tim, we stayed in the one in Ripon and it was absolutely superb. Think we paid ÂŁ60, better than any Travelodge. đ
I stayed at The Briar Rose in Birmingham in 2019 for a work night out. I showed the photos of my room to my work mates and were surprised. They said for what I paid for was oh get you. That morning felt hungover but overall it was fabulous, look after. Super hospitality.
I would never considered a Spoons hotel but after seeing this will definitely give them a try great content thank you!
Gaby looks stunning! :-)
We recently stayed at Wetherspoons, Bridgend and we really liked it. Large nicely decorated room with comfy beds and plush furnishings , lovely tiled bathroom with heated towel rail. We ate breakfast in the restaurant which was of great quality. Couldnât fault it and would highly recommend.
Brilliant! Good on you, Tim!
:-)
I tell you what, Iâm really impressed. The room was huge and quite swanky too. Iâd be more than happy to stay there. Plus handy sherbets đ» just downstairs đ
That fish looked lovely but the chips anaemic đ
Both of you chew fast I must say
EditâŠ. The spoons in my town is called âThe Leyland Lionâ
Itâs in the old main post office but itâs got itâs name from a bus Leyland Motors used to build years ago.
The weatherspoons Hotel really was nice!
Beautiful Windows in your Family Room & a lovely view outside of Great Yarmouth!
I loved the bed being a whole double bed & not two shoved together!
The Bathroom had a luxurious Bath & roomy shower, it all looked clean as you said Tim, not even any Hairs in the Bath!
The sofa looked ok.
The spaces in the room looked abit empty but I suppose a Cot could go there for Casper I did notice although it is a family room there didn't seem to be a sleeping place for Casper.
Just re-watched & you got the Cot for Casper, Goodo!
The TV was nice on a stand instead of been stuck in an inconvenient place on the wall.
As you said Tim it did feel more like a living room in that TV corner.
Shame the Windows were draughty & the Air Conditioning was that type I don't like where it blows stale air out.
I prefer good old Radiators!
I would love under floor heating never tried it!
The Pub downstairs looked lovely, all clean lots of sitting places & the best thing about Wetherspoons no music!
So you can have a conversation with each other without shouting!
I've had the Gormet Steak Meal that Gaby had, I have medium steak & I've got to admit it can be a little chewy & tough at times!
I might try medium rare like Gaby had next time!
My local pub is a Wetherspoons.
Weatherspoons often buy big old Buildings & convert them.
My Wetherspoons used to be a Chapel, & it has beautiful stain glass windows, I always go & sit upstairs which is where the balcony of the chapel.used to be.
The only thing I will say is that the maintenance of my Wetherspoons Chapel hasn't been kept up, it was renovated into the pub in about 2005 but the plasterwork on the ceiling is starting to come down now.
And there is either condensation or damp showing thru on the ceiling too.
Before it was renovated the Chapel was all boarded up & was a A&M Bargains.
But Wetherspoons don't seem to be maintaining the Building now which is a shame.
It's still my local tho so I'll keep on going there!
Was your Wetherspoons an old renovated building Tim??
No this has been open for years and upstairs uses to ne offices
@@WalkWithMeTim oh I see the pub always was a pub & the offices were converted into the Hotel part!
It certainly was a nice looking & interesting building on the inside!
I loved your family corner room & all those windows.
If I ever get to Great Yarmouth i might stay in your Wetherspoons!
Stayed in a Wetherspoons in Barrow-In-Furness (Double Room), it was massive! Spotless too and even the bathroom was lovely.
Good shout.
I'm disabled so the parking issue would be my first obstacle.
I can get free parking and a two night stay in a Premier Inn for the same money on the Jurassic Coast so price a bit of an issue as well.
Fish and chips looked alreet đ
I stayed in our local 'Spoons hotel, The Yarborough, in Grimsby when we were having a major house refurb. I was amazed how good it was. The double room was huge with a separate seating area. Generous bathroom. It's right next to the railway station but I didn't hear the trains in our room. If you like draft beer, the Yarborough has a decent selection. I'd definitely recommend it
Stayed there a few times. Happy to stay again if need be, that says it all!!! One thing that doesn't get mentioned is how helpful and friendly the staff are đ
I sound like a proper fanboy Tim but your video's are awe inspiring. Shot in such a professional way and in 4K, not to mention how informative they always are... It's like you have a massive production team behind you. I watch everyone and will continue to do so. I hope 2023 will be massive for you and Gaby on this channel! Happy Christmas everyone! â€â€
That's so kind, a lot of hard work does go into the videos so getting comments like this means alot . Thank you
Very a nice hotel your room was nice nice to see gaby with you Tim hope you liked it
Impressive security measures.
It looks quite nice to be honest the decor seems nicer than a Premier Inn I think personally, I would stay in one but not Yarmouth :) Thank you again Tim and Gaby
thanks Mel
Wow wasn't expecting a Wetherspoons hotel to look that good, that's very impressive and for just ÂŁ79 too.
I wonder what the hotels are like in the older Spoons where a hotel has been retrofitted in unlike your purpose built one.
Yes it's the older ones I m curious about but this one is definitely good value. Standards higher than I expected
@@juliet7703 regardless of the age of the building, the rooms are very clean and modern.
@@juliet7703 yes this is a new one so itâs going to look good, so wondering about an older building thatâs been converted
Good question!
@@WalkWithMeTim yes the one you reviewed is clearly new build where as a lot of spoons are often in very old buildings such as old cinemas etc so I can imagine it wouldnât quite be the same as yours
Stayed in the ones in Whitby and Dunfermline. Both very good value and clean/comfortable!
Looks fantastic, I didn't know that Wetherspoons did hotels!
Love these hotel vlogs, and I like the way you don't run everything down, you state the good points
I remember years ago staying in The Globe hotel in King's Lynn and it was always really nice. 'Spoons get a lot of bad rep but other than aged furniture in the downstairs bar area it's overall a quality venue with some excellent quality toilets. Food isn't too bad either (other than their "toast" which is dry floppy heated bread!).
Yes, I stayed in the same hotel. First time in a 'spoons hotel, and I was impressed at the value. would definitely stay in one again.
I'm sure that it's different nowadays but when I worked the doors in lynn back in the early 90s the globe and the maydens head the other side of the market place were a bit strange, lunch time full of business types eating scampi and chips and old ladies having shepherds pie. Come 9.00pm both of those venues turned into roadhouse, although probably more so the maydens head. The other thing about the globe is that a lot of famous actors stay there because of Lynn's historic buildings a lot of period films and television dramas are filmed there.
I love your videos with Gabby
The Angel in Whitby looks very good
We have stayed in the 'Spoons' in Monmouth. A VERY old building. Room was much smaller than yours but had everything in it. Far more than a Premier Inn. Bathroom was a good size. The only problem was the drains were a tad 'niffy'. Not sure why that was as it was all very clean. The food was the standard fare served up throughout the Country. Steaks can be hit and miss. I would definitely stay in one of their pubs again. Decent quality and good value.
Locked doors and lots of CCTV - everything that is wrong with hotels today
Iâm a big fan of Wetherspoons stayed in the hotel very good good value for money and the food and beer is great value keep it up to Tim
Walked by this pub loads of times when in Great Yarmouth. Never new it was a hotel
a lot of people don't
Well that room looked pretty decent plenty of space. Gaby you looked lovely hope you enjoyed your night out how lovely for you both. Holly is a good girl looking after her brother. So nice to see. Merry Christmas all. đ
thanks tracy , merry Christmas
Great vlog Tim as ever, I stayed in the Wetherspoons hotel in Beccles & was really impressed. I had a double room which cost about ÂŁ60 & the room was a better standard than Hotels that charge more than double that.
Looks beautiful well impressed I like their fish n chips .that blinking widow cleaner shouldn't start until 10am . .i
Yes I agree
Great video thanks it very interesting to see inside a hotel where you live and have wondered what the hotel was like insideâ€ïžđđ»
What an absolute bargain!! And Gabby scrubs up so well my head is spinning!!! đđâ€âđ„âŁMerry Christmas to you all! đââ
lol
A very merry Christmas to you all from Wellington Somerset
and to you David
Wow I wasnât expecting a room like that Tim. Seemed a bargain price that.. great video, never stayed in a weatherspoon before but impressed by that one. âŠ..Smithy
I stayed a couple of years ago it really nice fabulous shower and quiet excellent
I stayed in Northolt Wetherspoons hotel near London earlier this year with my mum and dad, again a family room! And the quality of the room was amazing and wouldnât have thought we were staying in a spoons hotel!! đ„° Bonus also, not far from London centre as we visited there one of the days we were down there! Picked up and Uber both ways and got discount because our first time using the app xx
Great to see your take on one of these. Have not stayed in one myself but someone I know has and they spoke highly of it. Your dinners were about the norm for Wetherspoon, pretty good for the price. I usually have steak and, like Gaby, it is a bit hit and miss as to whether it is exactly what you request, but acceptable.
Gaby's hair and makeup for dinner was absolutely stunning â€
I've stayed at the Wetherspoons hotel in Whitby,(The Angel) and it was well appointed, clean and comfortable - couldn't fault it.
Cheers Tim, and a wishing a very merry Christmas to you and your family đ
thanks Tony and to you
I was actually thinking of doing a Wetherspoons pub hotel review on my CZcams channel but Tim & Gabbi beat me to it! That hotel looks great, some of the hotels are much older buildings which might be a slightly different scenario. Great video!
Very surprised at this. Must be quite a new pub alot of their pubs are looking tired at best
Looks quite good, I love Great Yarmouth anyway.
I've only eaten once in a Wetherspoons and that was in October when I went back to the UK to visit family and friends. The food was very cheap indeed, but it was very so-so and nothing to write home about. The pub we went to was massive and it was packed, on a mid week evening. So I can see how popular they are. I thought the hotel was pretty good actually. A very big family room. The main bed looked very small though - was it a double? I'd definitely stay in one if the opportunity arose next time I go home.
Better than I expected from Wetherspoons, I feel your pain about the milk and hash browns. Our son has a milk allergy so always a nightmare trying to find foods with no milk.
Visiting Weatherspoons the other day I was amazed to see draught bitter at ÂŁ1.77 a pint plus when i bought my meal at a very reasonable price the pint was incuded free ! How they can operate at these low cost levels is seeing to be believed. (The meal was delicious as well !) I shall be returning again very soon !
Have stayed at the Spoons in Edinburgh. Not in the centre but travel is easy - lots of buses - and it is very good.
I reckon that this particular hotel looks a very ideal place for a stay. Everything looks clean and well designed, especially in the suite you were staying at. The meals looked good, too. Thanks for the showing of this video.
Another excellent Video as always Tim. Wishing You,Gaby & Casper a very Happy Christmas đ
Thanks Jonathan, Merry Christmas
Stayed at the one in Harwich.. The bottle kiln.. Absolutely lovely place, really big clean rooms, on site parking and yep, the spoons brekkie..
