Stones Road - Short trip and holiday experiences shared with photo's and genuine thoughts.

  Grecotel Casa Paradiso Pyli, Marmari, Kos, Greece  We booked through Jet2, for 1 week, in October half term, we have always had a good experience with Jet2 and this time was no different, transfers to the hotel from Kos Airport were advertised as an hour max, but perhaps being end of season, there was only our hotel and 1 other, so total duration was 25 minutes.  We received a warm welcome from the reception staff on arrival, who took our bags and delivered them to our room for us once we had checked in. The facilities included, but not limited too. - Pool and table football  - 2 x water slides 🛝  - 2 x pools  - A very Sandy, scenic and beautiful beach, a 2-minute walk from the pool and snack facilities.

  Crow How Country Guest House  Ambleside Lake Windermere Our trip included a 2 night stay at Crow How, the location was ideal for us as it was very quiet, scenic and only a 10 minute walk or 3-5 minute car journey to Ambleside town centre.  Everything appeared to be well kept and it was nicely furnished. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and made for a good nights sleep, that combined with the very quiet surroundings.  Breakfast offered a nice variety with cereals, fruit, yogurt, Granola and a number of hot options, we had the full English which was very good.   All the staff were polite, friendly and efficient. There was a communal lounge with nice decor and comfortable furnishings, there are also a number of seating areas / options outside to relax and enjoy the countryside and views.  Our activities included walking up to Stock Ghyll Force.   https://www.visitcumbria.com/amb/stock-ghyll-force/ We started from the Crow How and made our way t...
