Hapag Lloyds Cruises. Who are they? Should you cruise with them?

…t and most luxurious cruise ship in the world. In this video I explore and review the ship which is an ultra-luxury cruise experience. I review it especially for English-speaking cruisers as the ship historically has attracted mostly German-speakers on their cruise vacations. I look at why the ship is so highly rated by cruise writers and guide books and look at things like the passenger age and profile, how well they cater for english speaking cr…

On many days, Cunard will also offer a Champagne Afternoon tea in partnership with Veuve Clicquot. For example, this is held in the Garden Lounge on Queen Elizabeth, though you can also buy a glass of champagne to go with your tea in the Queens Room and Grills…

Craigsland Hotel, Ilkley, Yorkshire. Good value hotel ideal for wedding and events

…t was in a huge and very bright room, and on the Monday in the Brasserie 1 restaurant area. We had dinner one night at the Brasserie, and the menu was varied and the food excellent, with good service. – Free WiFi. We could not get it in the room, but in the more central parts of the hotel worked fine and was pretty fast. It is so good to get free wi-fi – and seems that more reasonable priced hotels offer it included but higher star ones don’t! Fai…

Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire England: One of my most favourite hotels in the world!

…redibly well done with a clever mix of modern and traditional. The Seasons Restaurant (where breakfast is also served) is attractive with amazing food. The Bistro and bar is trendy and funkier, and a great place to have drinks and a meal in the evening. The Spa is really good. There is a large indoor pool with outdoor heated area (and no children are allowed in the pool from 11am to 3pm on the weekends). However, the hotel is very “child friendly”…

This was not our experience at all, we had a great time and found that service was good and the overall attitude and approach of the hotel was positive. The hotel seems to be focused on a business that is about weddings at weekends, conferences in week and then fills the 80+ rooms with deals. While we were there we also had Sheffield Unit…
