It's All Done!!! Plus B&B Reviews

I just finished writing about all our days in England. The most recent ones are Day 14-16.

Pictures will be coming soon (probably throughout this week). I just finished downloading all the pictures from our camera so now I just need to pick out some to share with you all.

Oh, and in case you were wondering about the different places we stayed at along our trip, here they are with my comments. (Note: They are in the order in which we stayed in them.)

Name: Well Cottage
Website:http://www.well-cottage.org.uk/
Location: Just south of Avebury
Comments: Nice enough of a place. Didn't have too much interaction with the owner other than she let us into our room and served our breakfast. The food was good. Wouldn't necessarily go back here again if we were in the area. We would probably try someplace else if we had the chance. (We paid £60 for the night. Ensuite.)


Name: Lungano B&B
Website: http://www.luganobandb.com/
Location: Llandogo
Comments: Very nice place to stay. You had a private entrance to your room that entered through their beautiful gardens. You had a sitting room attached to your bedroom (the Blue Room). Only downside is that there is only a bath tub and no shower. The room was very clean and cozy. The food was great and the owner was very friendly and provided a very nice atmosphere. Would definitely stay here again. (We paid £52 for the night. Ensuite.)


Name: Huelwen Guest House
Website: http://www.heulwen.co.uk/index.html
Location: Snowdonia
Comments: Loved this place. We would have stayed here longer if we could. It's off a little mountain road and has beautiful views all around it. This was the largest room we stayed in and was very clean and comfortable. We really like the owners; they were very friendly and you could tell they really enjoyed running a guesthouse. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. We highly recommend this place. (We paid £54 for the night. Ensuite.)


Name: Rosehill B&B
Website: http://rosehill-snowdonia.co.uk/
Location: Snowdonia
Comments: This was a nice place; felt more like a hotel than a cozy B&B. Everything was clean but the room was on the small side. The food was good (this was the place where we ate the boiled eggs). The owner was nice but a little stand-offish - she wasn't very open with us and we felt a little weird around her. We wouldn't necessarily go back here again. We would probably try some place else first. (We paid £56 for the night. Ensuite.)


Name: Aynetree Guesthouse
Website: http://www.aynetreeguesthouse.co.uk/
Location: Edinburgh
Comments: We had a horrible experience at this place. I do not recommend going here at all. They were only a 3 star when all of the rest we stayed at were 4 stars and they charged more than any of them and it was not worth the extra price. The owners were not very friendly, we ran out of hot water in the bath, they served us moldy toast at breakfast, and practically kicked us out the door. Do not stay here. (We paid £70 for the night. Private Bath, no shower)


Name: Edinburgh Travelodge
Website: http://www.travelodge.co.uk/
Location: Edinburgh
Comments: Very nice. The room was clean and spacious and felt so much better than the last place we had just stayed in. They had a car park and were located right next to a Little Chef. If back in Edinburgh, we would stay here again. (We paid £29 for the night as we booked at least 3 weeks in advance. Ensuite.)


Name: Drumbie Farm
Website:http://www.loch-ness-farm-bandb.co.uk/
Location: Drumnadrochit
Comments: We loved this place. Very comfortable room with plenty of space. We stayed there two nights and were so glad we did. The breakfast area had an amazing view of their farm with Loch Ness in the background. The food was great and the service as well. The owner was very nice and we liked talking with her. Highly recommend this place. (We paid £54 per night for both of us. Ensuite.)


Name: Carlisle Travelodge
Website: http://www.travelodge.co.uk/
Location: Carlisle
Comments: Excellent Travelodge. They do not have a car park but we were able to arrive after 8pm to get free parking on the street. The most modern of the Travelodges we stayed in. Clean and spacious. They had a flat screen TV with many channels. Reception clerks were very friendly. They served breakfast in the morning for an additional £7.50 per person. Room cost £29 as we booked it far enough in advance; otherwise it cost £60. Great place to stay. Ensuite.


Name: Gorselands Hall Guesthouse
Website:http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/hotels/gorselandshall.html
Location: Oxford
Comments: Very nice. One of the best places we stayed at. The owners were very polite and served a very good breakfast. They had a guest lounge with a pool/snooker table. Highly recommend this B&B. Reasonable prices as well (we paid £58 for the night for both of us. Ensuite.)

If you need any more information about any of them, just let me know and I will try to help you out. I hope this will helpl in your future planning if you are ever in any of the areas we were.
