I couldn't believe my eyes back in December when I woke up to a Facebook post from Bluestone - the £99 Inclusive deal... I read with what can only be described as astonishment as to what they were offering:
- 4 night stay in their 5* accommodation
- PLUS breakfast for 2 for the full stay
- PLUS dinner for 2 for the full stay
- PLUS half a bottle of wine each for the full stay
- PLUS free entry into the thermal rooms for the full duration
I honestly thought it was too good to be true as I've stayed at Bluestone twice before and would have easily paid £99 for just the accommodation. I booked anyway and had confirmation of this amazing deal. And to clarify, it was £99 for the BOTH of us and not a 'per person' price!!! Bargain!
The process for check-in was swift (allowing us to go to our lodge at 4.30pm) and right up to the point when we ordered our first evening meal we were still waiting for a catch - but no catches whatsoever, just more surprises!

So with this deal, I was waiting for small portions, poor quality food, bad service - but we had
quite the opposite - At the
Knights Tafern I had a huge portion of Pasta Carbonara & Chicken and the other half had Bangers & Mash... and wait for it.... we were also allowed either a dessert or a starter EACH!

| Bangers & Mash |
The portions were generous and it tasted delicious. We were lucky enough to have arrived at the bar before 6pm as lots of people started pilling in - but the atmosphere was still pretty chilled apart from the few kids running around!

Ice Cream Sundae
|
We didn't mind as we've been on all inclusive/half board holidays abroad before so we would kind of expect it - it certainly didn't spoil it for us. And of course, I had to have an ice cream sundae (shh, don't tell my personal trainer!!!) I also have to add that the service was great - really friendly staff, especially from the young northern girl in the Knights Tafern!

Now stuffed - we headed back up the hill to our 2 bedroom Caldey lodge, popped on the heating and had an early night - it was somewhat blustery outside and we were a little warn out from all of the excitement & walking up and down the hills to the village!

| Living Area |
Have to add at this stage too that the lodge has its own Wifi and it's really good too! (Anyone who knows my partner & I will know this is important to us!)
 |
| Fully equipped kitchen |
Watch this space for the next few days at Bluestone and even more surprises! Including the 6ft Spaniard (which turns out he was Egyptian), takeaways & blue skies!
 |
| Double bedroom - the comfiest beds EVER! |
 |
| Twin room which unfortunately won't be used! |
 |
| Bathroom/ Wet room! |
