Dr Gloom 22185 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 matfen is really nice, but it's a good quality 4 star hotel. rockliffe and seaham are five star hotels so come with that extra touch of luxury (reflected in the price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He keeps saying he will tell the truth one day about the jiffy bag etc but he wont. Blokes got mental health issues and its not a surprise with what happened to him as a bairn like. Alreet Speedbump? Does this place mean anything to you? Im parked opposite it, waiting for some fucking yokel to work out how to open their barrier. 20 minutes and counting… I’ve told them after half an hour I’m just going to drive through it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I would say about Seaham is that you get quite a few (slappers is not the right word but it will do) of a certain type who can’t afford to stay but sometimes overrun the spa on a weekend. Also, the field next to it holds the largest car boot fair in the North East every Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a BOBFOC if truth be told, but she was filthy, so standards were out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22008 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I've not noticed much difference in my limited experience bwtween 5 star and 4 star tbh. 5 star the staff wear silly outfits and are more pompous. Food and drink no difference save the cost. All in all, I prefer 4 star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A seagull managed to shit whilst flying at some weird angle and it landed on my thigh. No shit whatsoever anywhere else on the outside of the car. Precision bombing indeed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I forgot you were a Southern popinjay. I mean, better bed linen? Aye, that's worth an extra 200 notes. Spa, gym? I dunno, I'm not using either of those on a short break. Swimming pool maybe.

Alex 35614 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 It’ll probably come as no surprise to anyone who has met me that I’m not a fan of posh hotels in general. I find the whole experience ridiculous and mildly uncomfortable. I hope that helps, Trophyshy 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that helps, Trophyshy 👍🏻 i dislike the awkward moments when you worry about whether you should have tipped some bloke who spent way too long hanging around after showing you how to locate the room's AC and light switches. but lets be honest. these weekends are for the wives. there's fuck all chance i'm staying anywhere like this with the lads, but then i don't want to get into their pants at bedtime Edited July 3 by Dr Gloom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
