we stayed at the South Lea again but this time we took family members with us including our 5 year old neice, It was the first time our neice had seen the illuminations and she was suitably impressed, Carol and Jeff could'nt do enough for us all as usual. The welcome is second to none, Carol cooks a mean full English and jeff keeps a great bar. Looking forward to our next stay in March '11. Cheers all

We stayed for two nights in October 2010, arriving fairly late on a friday night; no problem for our flexible hosts! Our room was thoroughly clean and tidy & Carol even brought us up a steaming pot of tea to welcome us in.
In the morning we were greeted by a fantastic breakfast; oodles of tea, coffee, toast, muesli, orange juice, cereal and more toast! All was served by the charismatic Geoff who is pleased to provide you with any combination of cooked breakfast as long as it doesn't include poached eggs.
The hotel is located far enough away from the mayhem whilst being close enough to walk to the tram stop (2mins) or high street (20mins).
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable trip!
