Bathing in Sheffield

“The Bath Hotel is a pub which hosts a Jazz Music Session once a month at which I play fiddle. The beer is always in good condition, the owner and staff are always friendly and the audience is always appreciative. I can't vouch for the food as I've never eaten there, but I've heard it's good. There are 2 rooms, a large one, where the music is played, and a smaller snug. The decor is relatively spartan, but comfortable enough, the staff are friendly and there is a choice of beers, wines and spirits. It's not a posh pub, but it's well supported and popular.”

“Definitely worth a visit, for it's faded Gothic grandeur, especially if you're a rock muso, some memorable 60s and 70s bands played there. If you can get a tour, even better.”

“We visited Matlock bath and were waiting for the gardens to open for the Illuminations event. I wasn't expecting the aquarium to be as packed as it was. It's a little 'tardis' and seems to keep going once inside. There are many tanks with different aquatic life, but the highlight for me was the old swimming baths which is filled up with the spring waters, and enjoyed by the giant koi carp. Of course you can buy a handful of food from a gumball machine and feed them too. Also inside were some holographic pictures and a hall of mirrors. Recommended, especially for the price.”

“I came here for business reasons and the hotel staff are magnificent, especially the night team comprising of two wonderful gentleman who deserved every poppadom I brought them. The rooms were comfortable and the shower not too bad! The only reason for a subtraction of a star is the silly glass pane that is used to block water from exiting the shower. It’s ineffective and makes the floor slippery. Please install a permanent fixture that extends further along the bathtub side. I’m no expert on showering appliances, but that’s my personal take on it. I loved the free bottles of water with the room, I find that to be such a wonderful feature of any room I stay in! The spa facilities were alright, the woman was very kind on the front desk. The steam room was far too cold to be classed as one, and had a strange odor to it. I won’t subtract stars for this as it’s not technically part of the hotel’s management. The bar staff were kind to me, especially the long-haired young fellow who made sure I got a lovely chicken Cesar salad for lunch! I recommend staying at this hotel. Parking’s free too!”

“I have been using Shaws for a number of years following a recommendation from a friend( Builder). I have always been delighted by their attention to details and Can Do attitude to ensuring that the product is exactly right. A number of weeks ago I incorrectly ordered some door furniture and did not realise it was not suitable until just before fitting. We quickly ordered the desired replacements items which Shaws got in stock very efficiently. Much to my delight Shaws agreed to me returning all six items , I had purchased in error , and then quickly processed a refund. Well Shaws ( Jonathan & Tracey).”

“Called in this place on the way home about 6pm and very glad I did! Only had to wait about 5 minutes and then got a great cut and beard tidy up from Sergio. Quality service and friendly guys with reasonable prices - definitely will be back!”

“I bought my travel system, nursery furniture, Moses basket and so much more from this shop. The staff we're so lovely and helpful everytime I visited, they spent a fair amount of time answering my many first time mum questions and recommended some really fantastic products. Staff helped install the carseat and all the big items were only delivered when we wanted and our nursery was ready. I'd recommend this store to anyone.”

“We had a small adult meal each £7.50 which comes with chips and side, peas etc. the small fish you get for that was quite big actually, and steak pie was a small slice. Chips were good normal chip shop chips nothing wrong with them. Fish was good. The steak pie was very packed with quality steak which made it's small size totally fine. Friendly staff and it's different that it's table service. Would be nice if they added the sides to the menu. Also, drinks were quite expensive.”
