The Parkway is one of those hotels which, through the years, has hosted a few of our family gatherings from my wedding in 2009 and daughters 30th birthday celebrations in 2020.
We were staying as our new bathroom is being installed and we needed somewhere local to stay.
Plenty of free parking and easy check in. The grounds are lovely.
Note the check out times are 11am on the weekend and 10am in the week - I personally feel that's a bit early. You can have a later check out until 1pm for £25.
The breakfast that was included in the room rate was lovely, plenty of choice, hot breakfast items such as bacon, sausage, mushrooms, beans, black pudding, scrambled eggs and fried eggs. You can order off a smaller menu, items such as poached eggs on toast, eggs benedics etc. Toast is available, limited selection of pastries, cereals, ham, cheese and yoghurt. The orange juice was a bit of a let down, there was apple juice and water available too.
We ate in the lounge area three nights good choice on other which was delicious. Jacket potatoes, chicken tikka mansala and club sandwich. The alcoholic drinks though seemed really expensive. We did not use Ravellos but there is a good carvery on a Sunday.
We used the spa area, again very good. Lovely warm pool with steps for those less mobile (like me). Good jacuzzi and great seating area to relax.
Our room was very comfortable, bed was great, small seating area. The bathroom only had a shower over the bath which I struggled with but my partner was ok with. The extractor fan was very loud.
As I said at the start, we have lots of positive experiences at this hotel but it is looking a bit tired which is a shame. It seems well supported by the locals as the lounge was always full with people having food off the bar menu.
With just a bit more investment it can be fabulous again.
We would stay again. All the staff were friendly.
우리는 보통 공원 관광을 위해 Prem Inn에 머물지만 이 호텔이 '보라색 궁전' 맞은편에 있었기 때문에 가격을 확인하고 훨씬 저렴하다는 것을 알았습니다. 우리는 우리 방이 흠 잡을 데없이 깨끗하다는 것을 알게되어 매우 기뻤습니다. 전형적인 보라색 방보다 약간 작지만 외관이 매우 유사하고 1 박 숙박에 완전히 적합합니다. 리셉션의 남자는 매우 환영했고 체크인은 빠르고 간단했습니다. 아침 식사 서비스 (우리는 그것을 사용하지 않았습니다)와 음료를 위해 리셉션에 작은 '병 바'가 있습니다 (다시 사용하지 않았습니다). Harvester 레스토랑/펍은 도보로 가까운 거리에 있으며 그 체인에서 기대할 수 있는 것이며 옆 주유소에는 Asda Express 상점과 Greggs가 있습니다. 전반적으로 우리는 매우 기뻤고 다음에 보라색 부지에 대한 저렴한 대안으로 갈 때 베스트 웨스턴이 있는지 확실히 확인할 것입니다. 나는이 호텔을 절대적으로 추천 할 것입니다.
