Newest Review: ... I?m not a fan of Bluegrass music, which is a lot like country without the whiney lyrics of trucks getting a flat, dogs dying , and wives running of with the guitar boy!! (If you?ve ever seen the movie ?O, Brother Where Art Thou?, it?s the music like that.) They have shows all through the day and into the night, so if you?re a fan of it, you can sit under the covered porches, drinking your ... more

Dollywood, what a day out that is! I am currently in the States again and took a trip to Dollywood. What a great day out. I have been to a lot of the theme parks in UK, and okay, they may have more and faster rides, and so on, but in terms of atmosphere and imagination, none of them come close to Dollywood. Dollywood has taken the idea of theme parks to a new level, not going for the faster bigger better higher rides, but more into making what they have, suitable for all people, with the added bonus of a fun, friendly environment.

There are restaurants and bars to suite all tastes and pockets. There is also a water park and several ... Read the complete review

After leaving Nashville it takes us only 216 miles and we arrive into this Xmas tree village not really knowing what to expect but we are pleasantly surprised. Starting early on in the season this village comes alive when more than 6 million lights line the streets and Dollywood. There are so many theatres with special shows (like Louise Mandrell from the Mandrell sisters) every night is different. From bluegrass, gospel, old time rock and roll and more. We were there for the Grand Tennessee Craft Fair and it was brilliant with all kind of unusual home crafts for sale. There are no licensed pubs or restaurants here as the ban from prohibition has never been ... Read the complete review
