Newest Review: ... young children in the car and it can get too boring for them. The views on the scenic roads are wonderful to look at so we stopped for ice cream and sat outside eating it and watching the view. The weather wasn't brilliant, but we still went out every day. The main thing was it didn't rain. We visited Land's End in Penzance on a very windy day for August. I can remember crossing the ... more

The views on the scenic roads are wonderful to look at so we stopped for ice cream and sat ...

It had took us nearly 4 hours to get there from Lancashire, so we were ready for some chilling out time. We introduced oursleves from Blakes Boats and we were shown their massive ...

This can be a very hit and miss affair and the standard can sometimes disappoint. Hopefully this opinion will to point you in the right direction, should you need somewhere to stay in the UK. Travel Inns provide a good standard of rooms and services in this department and I would suggest them as your first port of call when travelling in the UK. I will use my most recent experience of this company as an example. But I would like to point out that the standard of Travel Inns is very much the same across the country. ...
