This is a (not so) little gem within the RHS Hyde Hall Gardens. Up the hill, but wheelchair friendly, sympathetic modern architecture with some very good food at reasonable prices.
Ice cream (gelato) was tasty. Blue bubble gum flavour left well alone. Long queue for take away with just a few indoor bar stools, if you want to get out of the Lakeside bustle.
Good range of beers and many different types of gin. Food was good but not spectacular.
Priceless exhibits are not shown to best advantage. Poorly lit and cramped although new hangars should help this in future. The place was a building site on the RAF’s 100th anniversary in April 2018.
Modern building with good facilities makes perfect place for the permanent exhibits & the temporary, specialist exhibitions. Special Forces in March 2018 was particularly engaging & informative.
Extensive range of breakfast buffet attached to the Doubletree (ex Hilton) just north of Bristol, v close to the A38.
Some British aviation gems in a new building. Expert knowledge in the volunteers, with some quite spectacular restorations on show.
ex Country House in magnificent garden setting. Quirky architecture is reflected in a warren of corridors & stairs, but all safe enough and adds to the charm. Wheelchair lift only goes to 1st floor.
Comfortable place to have a good value cooked breakfast. Free wi-fi. Friendly staff on the breakfast shift.
Delightful, friendly cafe with home made food and tea in china pots, cups and saucers. Coffee also available. Delicious cakes and snacks. Cream teas and Afternoon teas available.
Great museum with a.fine view over the port and Carrick Roads. Search & Rescue exhibition a must, evem if the Sea King is poorly lit.
