James Brown Looks Well Considering, great videos as always y.n.w.a.

Although I live in Wales, I'm Belfast (just outside the suburbs) born and bred, but travel back quite often. Travel to and from is no longer a pleasure since flights from Cardiff to Belfast City are no longer available. So if I want to fly, it's either first by rail to Bristol which is about 2h 30, then another 20mins by coach to the airport. I've used a variety of B&B's, Hotels and s/c accommodation, and have noticed that since Belfast has become a popular Cruise and general tourist destination, prices have rocketed. Air B&B -if you can get one - is almost as pricey as a 3-Star hotel and can vary in what's on offer. I would never book a hotel in the City Centrre areas due to the price and lack of parking. For my own personal convenience I have paid the price for the more suburban hotels - usually priced around £120pn - but these are at least 4-Star with excellent facilities. Everyone has a differring level of value, but however you look at it, it is never good value for money. Individuals - and I almost always travel alone - have forever been penalised, and that's never going to change. The most pleasant areas of Belfast are the east and south of the city, but unfortunately have the least number of options. That said, transport in, around and beyond the city is really very good, with regular train and bus services in all directions. Like most cities in the world, taxis are not cheap, so if you're not in a hurry, most places within or slightly beyond the city centre are within relatively easy walking distance with much of interest to see in the passing! Otherwise, the buses are reasonably priced and rover tickets are very good value. If you don't want to walk, there are scores of pay as you ride bicycle ports dotted throughout - pick up and drop off almost anywhere you wish. At the end of the day, you want a good night's sleep, so it's worth pre-planning well in advance if you want some value for your money. My personall favourite hotel is the Stormont Hotel in East Belfast; it's not the cheapest, but like all hotels the price can vary according to the time of year. The downside of pre-booking with some hotels is that you don't get to book with the hotel you want, but via a central or agency booking, which I find frustrating. Budget hotels are not really budget since they have to pay high city rates, but no parking; basic comforts but restrictions on when you have to check in and out, and breakfasts (who visiting NI wants an "English" breakfast when the good old Ulster Fry offers a much better plate for the visitor. If you're driving during your stay, Belfast City is a true nightmare for parking, and during the morning and evening rush hours, everywhere in and around the city is to be avoided at all costs - so be warned!

The gulls on the window ledge are to be expected and add to the sea charm surely.

Really interesting loved the boat would love to stay on it thanks 😊

Really nice hotel thanks Paul 😊

I Bet you could walk into any busy hotel get served at the pool bar and use there swimming pool with no problems. So there are many to choose from as long as you just buy a drink and look the part.

Good review Paul thanks .i did like the hotel 🎉

Hi paul out there October chin up mate things are sent to try us pal

Yes, I've travelled Birkenhead to Belfast return, and It was a pleasant enough crossing. I've travelled to and from Most UK ports on various shipping companies and found them to be much of a muchness. However, I'd not travelled this route before, particularly since I have a 150-mile journey to get there from South Wales. I picked the worst day to travel - the entire route teeming with heavy rain and visibility down to no more than 10-15 feet - and I was on a motorcycle! It was a bad enough ride unitl I got to Wrexham: no street signs, no (sensible) direction signs, no signs of any kind at the roundabouts; then from Chester - it took me nearly two hours trying to find my way to and through Birkenhead. If there is one town or city in the UK more hateful than Birkenhead I don't know where it might be. I had intended to get onto the M53 for the long way round to the Ferry Port, but somehow missed it in all the rain. Birken head is an absolute nightmare of roads that take you anywhere but where you want to go! To culminate this part of the journey, my motorcycle went ass-over-tip on the wet and spilt diesel deck, landing on top of me! A most uncomfortable crossing, arriving in Belfast (which I know very well), only find myself being picked up by an ambulance, having sustained five fractures to the ribs. From there, almost seven hours in an ambulance, seventeen hours in A&E and not seen by anyone in all that time, and another 7 nights in The Ulster Hospital with no clothing apart from my m/c kit and daytime wear. On my return journey I was asked by one of the junior officers if I was alright (I was walking quite hunched and in some pain). I gave him the full SP and he checked on the ship's log to find Stens's record of the incident. From that point onwards I was given free food, free drinks, the offer of a cabin (which I refused becuse I couldn't lie down), But I accepted the use of the Hygge rooms and recliner. All told, they attended me very well, although I have to say I didn't have a meal - I haven't touched any ferry company's food for more than 50 years as it's basically crap! - sorry Stena! I've sailed to and from almost every port in England and Scotland, and every port in Ireland - most of them easy to get to and from; but Birkenhead must rank as the worst place ever! Ferries are pretty much the same, whichever line you use - the food ghastly, the service almost non-existent, and the comfort seating not that comfortable. However, in this instance Stena did pull out the stops and made me as confortable as possible - but the recliners in the Hygge were still pretty naff! I remember the days before ro-ro - back in the 1960's, when overnight travel between Belfast and Liverpool was a scramble to find somewhere comfortable, managed to weave your way past the drunken hordes, but if you got a cabin, they were basic but very comfortable, plus you had tea and coffee at hand. I think I'd rather go back to those days!!! Thanks for the upload - I enjoyed it.

Place is best of Tenerife

Love all the Canaries- super friendly people!

Been to Tenerife never stayed in Los Cristianos but its a lovely village you can walk to playa Las Americas and as Paul says it does what it say in the tin. Looks really clean and basic.
