Well, it would appear that I find myself in some real rubbish hotels.

This one, which shall rename nameless, is not great. It's in Worcestershire and is somewhat shabby. The bar feels like an old staff canteen mixed with an old 70's style pub. It has green padding around the bar (nice touch). It's only saving grace is a pub called the Bear and Ragged Staff (look it up in beer in the evening web site). Food was superb, great pork steak with puy lentils and pink peppercorns. Fantastic. Plus, they had a morgan owners meeting so the place was full of very smart Morgans. Great!

Still trying to get fitter, went to the hotel gym (not great but not the worst hotel gym I've been in) and still trying to eat and drink more healtily. Getting there, but going to take a while!
