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.  Highlights  - Good food ( excellent breakfast)  - Comfy, spacious, traditional in style, large bedroom with en-suite  - Overall decor  - Cocktails  - Thermal (spa)room  - Quiet and peaceful atmosphere and surroundings  - Friendly and efficient staff  - Gym  N...

Tregenna Castle and St Ives Work trip - 1 night  It’s been a few years, but it was good to be back staying at Tregenna, enjoying the stunning views, comfy furnishings and good food. Peaceful and relaxing, being out of season. The pool was very warm which is always good. I actually stayed in room 1, out of 130 and I think that it maybe on the more budget end of the accommodation options. Comfy and adequate just a little basic. I do remember the rooms we stayed in previously being more luxurious. Don’t let this put you off though as the rest of the hotel is lovely. ( just have to pay a little more to upgrade the room) It’s a 10-15 minute walk into St Ives through the lovely garden and grounds. If you arent going to eat at the hotel, I advise booking somewhere in St Ives in advance as its gets very busy and spaces can become limited. Tregenna has a golf course, Spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pool. The walk around the hotel is very nice, scenic and tranquil. Tregenna is around a 3...

                      The Cornwall Hotel and Spa         St Austell Cornwall My first stay and many since have all been due to business trips. It is a lovely hotel, comfy, well furnished with good food. The pool is very nice with a good view through the large windows all along one side, looking out onto the grounds, a very nice touch. The area also has a sauna, steam room and mini spa pool. There is also a gym, which had various machines, weights and other equipment, for a relatively small area it was well equipped.  The location is secluded enough to give you the out of town feel, without being miles out of the way, it was very quiet, peaceful and I always feel very relaxed and content.  On most occasions I choose to have my evening meal at the hotel and the standard is always very good this is the same for breakfast, I have never had any complaints. The staff are very polite and efficient, the le...
