Because this was our first experience with driving in England (we are from the U.S.), we wanted to stay in a hotel that was just outside of the center of St. Ives with included parking. The four-hour plus drive from Portsmouth had me a bit frazzled but when we walked into the hotel lobby I immediately relaxed. The staff was welcoming and willing to assist us in any way. The walk down to town is pretty steep in places but a beautiful stroll through the woods. The room we had for the three of us had plenty of space with comfortable beds.

located at Penny Lane, used to be a bank - the bank in the song and the barber shop a few doors up. Walk down Penny Lane. Breakfast was good, staff very friendly and helpful. Bus from LIverpool central (86 bus) to hotel was convenient after visiting the Cavern Club, street parking in back street without fee. Decorated with Beatles memorabilia and Beatles music constantly in background. Ian Doyle Beatles tour pick up from hotel - recommended by hotel staff and it was excellent. Best value for money accommodation on our England travels.

Great location on tip of peninsula. Our room on the top floor had views of both the river and the bay. Room was spacious, elegantly appointed, and there was lots of coffee and milk. The owner and his wife are super friendly, and gave us excellent recommendations for food and walks. The recommended pub was the best we went to in England this trip. The walk they recommended to Nothe Fort was an easy climb to a great viewpoint. Would recommend the hotel very very highly.

The hotel was gorgeous, and the staff bent over backwards with their hospitality and friendliness....even when checking out at 6 am, the front desk was so gracious. We stayed in three hotels during our visit to England and Ireland, and the Hilton Deansgate far surpassed the other two hotels- which were also 5 star hotels, but won’t be returning to those properties. Definitely make a return visit to Hilton Deansgate.

Excellent staff! They really went above and beyond. Also very friendly, literally everyone working there. Tom was the coolest though. Boutique hotel so pretty much check in at a bar. Excellent view of the River Ouse. Lot of personality. VERY well located, minutes to some of the best history in northern England! They had a decent TV, very clean room. Nice modern remodel on the bathroom etc. I enjoyed staying here.

The hotel had air conditioning which was a real bonus in England! Also, the rooms were really soundproofed which was helpful...there was a bachelorette party next door and it didn't bother us at all. Very good location -- close to Albert Dock, The Beatles Story and Liverpool One, a fabulous shopping and restaurant area. As well as St. Mathew St, home of The Beatles' first performance venue, The Cavern.

The location of this hotel is brilliant. The River Avon and the Roman Bath's are almost right outside your door. The breakfast was nice. You can order something hot off of their menu, or you can choose from pastries and fruit. Bath is a beautiful city, and is one that should not be missed on your next trip to England. I have included a photo that was the view from our hotel room at sunrise.

The hotel has an old-world air in the lobby, hall and elevators, but my room was clearly modernized. The room air conditioner worked well despite unusually warm weather (a rare experience in my travels in England.) Very comfortable bed and plenty of outlets. Great location, particularly for those arriving by train. Very quiet so great soundproofing. .

The Hotel, the location and staff were all excellent, The weather could have been better, but you don't choose to holiday in England for the weather! Its always great to find a dog friendly hotel that doesn't compromise on standards in rooms because you want to take your loved one with you. We would definitely return

The breakfast was very good. The location was within walking distance of town, near a laundromat and small store, and on the bus line. I don't expect an elevator and air conditioning at a B&B in England, of course, but in this case I wish I had booked a hotel with those features so we could have enjoyed Oxford more.

The hotel went out of their way to make sure my room was air conditioned...most rooms in England, most hotels in fact are not outfitted with AC. Usually not a problem, however the current heat wave in Europe is putting that to the test. The hotels was well situated a close walk to everything.

After driving through England, we used this hotel for our last night's stay since it is a fairly short drive to Heathrow Airport. We enjoyed the room and the breakfast. It is a beautiful rural property, but it is historic and you have to enjoy the quirks that come with such places.

A great view of the lake from the room on 2nd floor. A good location in Ambleside to explore the Lake District area - John Ruskin's house - Brantwood and other interesting places. The dinner at the Regent Hotel restaurant was one of the best meals during the England trip.

Everything at the hotel was perfect. The staff and management were all very professional and attentive. The rooms are stocked with treats and drinks- all complimentary. The spa is amazing and must be experienced. Overall our favorite place to stay in our travels through England.

The Macdonald Old England was, without doubt, the best hotel experience I have ever had. The suite was fantastic, and the staff were superb. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was wonderful too. The Old Swan Hotel at Harrogate should send their staff here for training!

We were traveling around England. This was number one with us and our friends. The staff greeted us at the door. Sat us down to book us in Not having a cell phone one of the employees offered us his. Everyone was so friendly. Can’t say enough good things about this hotel

the one thing I need to say, once you stay at Staybridge Suites in Liverpool England and then go to any other hotel which we did after in London you realize how spoiled we were not having the things we had in Staybridge. Can't say enough about this fantastic place.

Being on the Avon River was fabulous. It was a little challenging to find but so worth it. The view is absolutely terrific. The hotel staff is exceptional but that was true everywhere during two weeks in England.

Location and the welcomeness! We watched the England’s semi at the lobby of the hotel. The staff brought chairs for us to sit.

The hotel was clean and well situated for the AgeasBowl England v India Test match
