Living in London is expensive. I'm sure I've discussed this before, by mentioning cheap/free things. Today, (or, Saturday as the case may be...) we decided to avail ourselves of some more of these free things. Nothing like getting out and about, and seeing the city you live in.

My new favourite place in the world
I adore the Sefton Hotel in Douglas, Isle of Man!
It's awesome! Amazing, massive hardwood floor and part carpeted floors; Big balcony overlooking a gorgeous atrium including a beautiful fountain (best part of this was sitting on our couch on the balcony listening to the fountain trickle); Nice, flat-screen tv; Huge bathroom including everything you could possibly think of... including 2 showers and a bidet (didn't use this); Steam room (first time I'd ever used one of these and I came to quite enjoy it, most places only seem to have saunas if anything... and the Sefton had one of those also... not such a fan of this, though... Also I must mention a gourgeous, fantastic, excellent, brilliant INDOOR POOL!!! Now it doesn't take much for me to love a pool, but this one was just beautiful with pillars, blue lights, a statue, all giving it a roman bath kind of feel. Oh, and there was also a jacuzzi, that was a nice end to our relaxy spa sessions. These are all included in the room price, but there's also extra spa stuff you pay to do... or have done to you :P I'm talking about massages, facials etc.
Oh, and a gym... didn't use this... :)
All this and we also got a great buffet breakfast each morning... somehow for the low price of 70 euros a night. Best deal we have ever found!
Best of all, though... the service. I firmly believe that it's the most important thing to consider when running a hotel, guesthouse, B & B or whatever. It can make or break a place, and the Sefton have impeccable service.
Wow! Sounds like I work for the place, doesn't it? But I swear I don't, I was just seriously very impressed and can't wait to go back!

The Sefton Hotel...
We've been on the Isle of Man for a few days now, and had a pretty good time. Rather than make massive, long War&Peace entries, I'm going to make several smaller posts, about various things.
In keeping with what I plan on some of the blog theme to be, these posts may be reviews on attractions, establishments, foods, drinks, or anything like that.
This particular one, is about the Sefton Hotel, Douglas, Isle of Man. We were very impressed.

The London Pass
Ok so, London is an expensive city. There's no doubting that. Here's a few prices for amusements and touristy things - per person. And remember to convert backwards, at a rate of about 1:1.6...
