Albrighton Hall Hotel and Spa  Albrighton Hall Hotel and Spa is located in Shrewsbury in Shropshire, we visited as part of a spa day /  night away deal including dinner and breakfast. My wife and I found it to be a lovely relaxing and peaceful stay, with good food ( great breakfast ) and excellent cocktails. (the staff had created their own, the Lady Like is a must try)  The tranquil setting, made for a very nice environment, too switch off and enjoy the short break.  Albrighton is a mix of period style furnishings and modern decor depending on which area you are in, we found it very comfy, warm and inviting.  Prices were very reasonable for food and drink.

A nice night away with the lady. Best Western Robinswood Hotel Gloucester Good food, attentive staff, comfortable furnishings, a relaxing stay overall.  Our package included a great deal, including cream T, 2 course meal, breakfast and spa access.  Not far to travel for us this time, which was the criteria, if you wanted to take the kids, the pool is great for them too, but for us this was a child free night to relax and this was a perfect short get away to reset.  Things to do and see close by. - Ninja Warrior, 8 minute drive  https://ninjawarrioruk.co.uk/gloucester/  - Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre,1 minute walk (basically opposite the hotel)  https://www.gloucesterski.com/ - Gloucester Cathedral, 14 minute drive https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/ - Gloucester Docks, 11 minute drive  https://www.visitgloucester.co.uk/things-to-do/gloucester-docks Jet Museum - 17 minute drive  https://jetagemuseum.org/how-to-find-us/ Groupon Deal below tha...

The Cornwall Hotel and Spa  ( 1 night business trip )   Lovely hotel, comfy, well furnished with good food. Located in St Austell, near Truro, Cornwall.  The pool is very nice with a good view through  the large windows all along one side, a nice design.  I felt very relaxed and content just being there.  The hotel is secluded enough to give you the out of town feel, without being miles out of the way.  Both the evening meal and breakfast were nice and served in good time, however my hunger kept getting the best of me so I forgot to take photos of the food. 🥴 Popular sites close to Lostwithiel are The Eden project (around 11 minute drive) Restormel Castle (5 minute drive) Tintagel Castle (49 minute drive) and Lanhydrock House and Garden (10 minute drive)  https://www.edenproject.com/ https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/restormel-castle/ https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/tintagel-castle/ https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk...
