Review of Abbey Lawn Hotel

10 Apr 08, 14:23

A deserted oasis

The Abbey Lawn hotel is a 3 star coaching hotel with a gym, 2 pools, sauna and steam room. you can join the health club as a non resident and have access from 6am, til 9pm.

Its great all the CV machines have individual TV screens and you can watch freeview TV programs to make the hours stomping off the pounds go by a bit easier.

There has been a recnt refit and the number of machines has been greatly increased. The club has a fitness instructor on hand and the thing i like best is that it a non competitive atmoshere. The age range of the users goes right up to the 70+ and there are very few muscle heads pumping several tonnnes of iron to put you off. Changing rtooms are small and more than 3 in the male changing makes it quite cramped but the main beauty of this place is that for most of the day it is deserted !!

The outdoor pool is unheated so only for the brave, but in the summer its a real sun trap and a great place to chill out.

Review of Angels Tea Rooms

09 Apr 08, 17:42

confusingly good

Now lets not get this wrong...this place is great...seriously. The food is all organic, the menu is varied and of the highest quality. The staff are charming and welcoming and you will not have a bad dining experience here at all

The confusion is more about what the Angels thinks it is. is it a charming tea rooms or is it a serious restaurent? if they could answer that they could go someway to sorting out their pricing.

I dont mind paying for quaility food but some of the prices here are seriously over the top for a Tea room. £8 for a jacket potato is a bit steep even if you get salad and garnish along with your topping of choice.

I have no heistaion in recomending this Angels and i fyou visit you will love the food and the Angel rich atmosphere but remember wher eyou are when you are looking at the prices.

Review of Electrowise

Data Saviours

Recently I droped a screw into my compuetr and as luck would have it it destroyed my hard disk which was crammed with vital mission critical data. (aint it always teh way) Electrowise were able to recover all the data and copy it onto a new hard disk and at what I consider a very reasonable price. It was not an advertised service so I am guessing they went the extra mile for me. A reasonable selection of hardware available from stock when you need computer bits. thanks guys

Review of Willow Tree

Top Carvery

I agree with Rob..you cant beat this one for value for money. There are more and more carvery's around Torbay and they vary greatly in quality and value for money but for £3.50 you have to ask why they bother offering an alternative menu. In fact the only down side with the whole place is that so many peole know about it and there can sometimes be a queue! but when 2 people can get a great dinner and drinks for under a tenner you have to agree its worth the wait!

Review of Chandlers Chippy

Top chips

These have to be the best chips in the UK!! Georgie and the team are always friendly and the food is always excellent. The fish is fresh from Brixham and you really cant stop raving about the chips. You will not be disappointed
