What's nearby

  • Today was our first #lksawaydays of 2020 #ukoutandabout We left Reading and headed out to the Wiltshire village of Avebury to have a walk around the Neolithic henge, visit the museum and have some lunch in the Red Lion. Its been over 20 years since the LKs last visited so were looking forward to re-visiting. There are no charges to walk amongst the stones which make up the largest megalithic stone circle in the world, but there are separate charges for the museum and the Avebury Manor. The main car park is £4 for the day but not very big considering the volume of visitors Avebury sees, so if you visit we would suggest outside peak months. The purpose of the the stone circle is unknown but its believed to be a ritual complex, the site is a sacred site to the contemporary Pagans and if you are lucky on your visit you may see Druidic rites taking place. Its a pleasant half day and if the weather is a little moody it can add to the visit too! #avebury #aveburystones #stones #stonecircle

It was nice and had some facilities. I would like to have more varied food. Some things were missing in the room but once I responded it, it was dealt with on the day. I would stay again though.

Alexander Hotel is set in a vast land, that enable guests to go for long walk, within the compound. The Hotel interior is quite beautiful and modern, and the and ambience. It caters to all type of guests with different amenities. During our stay, there was Art and Craft activities, and various items to purchase. The spicy dinner platter and Burger meal we had was tasty, (the chicken wings needs more seasoning). The tortilla was also very nice and crunchy. There were lots of activities to keep one busy, within the Hotel - the Gym, swimming pool and sauna were all good and clean. Breakfast was excellent. I truly enjoyed the waffle, Cumberland sausage and baked bean. The staff were helpful, pleasant and with a smile, ready to assist. Well done guys!

Fabulous breakfast. Lots of fresh fruit and yoghurts. Lovely pastries and croissants. The cold options are excellent! Lots of choice for cooked option. Though quality is variable. Large grounds to walk round/sit in the evening. Staff were polite and tried to help as things went wrong. BUT. Booked and paid in advance through ExpediaBut not on the hotel system. Long wait while sorted.Given keys a double, but had booked a twin. Phone in room wired wrong so staff went to wrong room with new keys when I rang as system displayed an incorrect room number. Eventually got new room. Horrible marks on side of mattress base. (Old coffee stains apparently). Stains on ceiling. (Coke stains apparently). Dirty tea spoon. No tea bags. The room, though clean felt grimy as a result... Finally, there was no safe, which I discovered when trying to put away my laptop. No maintenance on site so told to bring to reception and leave in office safe while out of room. One was installed the next morning,but it felt like one more thing not right. Pool. Wonderful, but temperature varied between days. Sauna/Steam room/jacuzzi all had same issue. Day 1 great. Day 2. Too cold. Goosebumps in the jacuzzi. Gave up on those. Fire alarm went off 3 times in one night. Once was 1.30 am. Not for long, but enough to destroy sleep. It feels like the place has gone downhill. Small details. No cookies in tea station. No mood lighting in evening pool session.
