Having already tried breakfast at the neighbouring Willowbrook garden centre, we thought we would give the Blackdown breakfast a try. When we found the entrance we had to walk through all the departments till we finally arrived at the restaurant section. Despite the centre having several in-store clothing shops, the restaurant was definitely not on a par with other ‘destination’ centres. The breakfast itself was quite good, though toast was not offered as an option to fried bread, neither was there a choice as to how the eggs were cooked. The thing that struck me was that the restaurant was tired looking and not as clean as it could have been. Despite it being fairly early in the day, several tables had crumbs on them. The chrome frames of the tables were covered in smears and the backs of the leatherette chairs had marks on them. The overall effect was of ‘transport cafe’ rather than somewhere to ‘go for coffee/lunch’. A little bit of effort however could make this a nice place.

This should have been a 5 Star Review, but on our last night the hotel had an Open Mic Jazz Night which was pretty loud. That might have reduced it to 4 Stars overall. However I went downstairs to close the through-door from the stairwell/Reception area to the kitchen which was funneling the noise up to the rooms. Unfortunately the door was jammed OPEN and I couldn't move it - and it had a plate on it saying Fire Door Keep Shut. I can't give zero Stars so I'm afraid it gets a no-brainer 1 Star.

Speech House RoadCame for a walk round the Sculpture Trail. It wasn't the warmest day so it was good to be able to warm up with a bacon bun and a coffee before setting off. Good food and friendly service.

Broad Street LittledeanRarely, nowadays, do you get to experience the vibe of a local family run traditional British Inn. On arriving in the late evening, the carpark was all but full, the bars, Function Room and restaurant were busy. Despite the bustling activities, The Belfry staff provided a warm and relaxed welcome. Happy to recommend the bedroom accommodation, spacious, quiet and well equipped.

Speech House RoadI must admit I was a little sceptical when I first arrived. It is a very small operation but how wrong was I! It was a brilliant afternoon out. Rich the mine guide was brilliant, he was really passionate about showing us his mine. He kept all the kids entertained whilst being really informative. The “museum” despite being very basic was actually really informative about mining in the area and certainly held my interest for 20 mins whilst waiting for the tour to start. We didn’t use the cafe so I can’t comment but it looked clean and tidy.
