The Three Shires Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem Loved it Period building lovingly maintained"

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Had an amazing stay here! Brilliant room and lovely club amenities with free cake and coffee and incredible breakfast! Only the inside pool is included so you have to pay £60 for 2 hours in the evening to use the whole spa. I feel like one spa session should be included when paying for club level."

Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa
