Warner Leisure Hotels

March 26, 2012 by

Article by Joan Smith

Two weekends ago I went on a trip. It was just for a couple of days, something to do to get my mind off of my daily, mundane routine. It was especially fun because I had one of my best mates with me. He’s one of those people that you could spend an evening with watching paint dry and still have fun. Too bad no one else could share the hotel with us because we spent the night at a brilliant disco.Speaking of luxury hotels, I was glancing through the Warner Leisure Hotels site a little while ago. Although I just returned from a trip, I am eager to go on another. I keep telling myself that it won’t hurt to look.I do like the looks of the Warner Leisure Hotels up on the coast, just a stone’s throw from Bodelwyddan Castle. I am not sure why it’s called a Victorian folly, since there seems to be no folly about it in my book. The castle is stunning! One thing that caught my eye, along with the VIP evening Experience, is the Ghost Walk. I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing and scary that could be!If you’re not into ghosts but are into short breaks, look into Warner Leisure Hotels’ special offers, including the Half Price Room Upgrade plus other discount codes. There are 13 locations to visit, from Sherwood Forest to Cheshire. Another bonus is that all of the locations are tailored exclusively toward adult travellers.I can’t wait until my next holiday. I almost hate having trips away or holidays because I can’t help but as soon as I come back wanting another one. It’s a bad cycle to get into! I can’t but want to be back in a nice relaxing hotel! Well… roll on the next holiday or weekend away.

Holiday in a UK Leisure Park – Is a Holiday Home Rental For You ?

March 26, 2012 by

Article by Joy Gregory

Are you on the lookout for somewhere different for a holiday this summer, for a main holiday or perhaps a short vacation? Have you thought about holiday home rental in a countryside park? Caravan vacations have come a long way from when a holiday meant hiring a cramped caravan near the beach that some of us remember from our childhood. Up to date caravans are cozy and roomy with all the luxuries you need in a holiday home, some have King sized beds, en-suite facilities, flat screen TV with SKY or Freeview and are located in beautiful countryside, frequently by a river or lake. Or, if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury and convenience you might consider a modern waterside lodge, these large holiday homes are ideal for a family, giving you all the room you could want.

Renting a holiday home in a UK park for a weekend or longer will give you all the facilities you require for an English countryside holiday. These caravans and lodges are generally fully equipped with modern kitchens, comfortable lounges, two or three bedrooms, frequently with en-suite bathroom in the main bedroom. They often have a private deck with table and chairs, you may well be overlooking a fishing lake, so you could fish right off the deck.

UK holiday parks have a lot of recreational facilities, especially for the holidaymaker, including, amongst many others, bars and regular entertainment, shops and facilities for fishing. These parks could be an option if you like traveling to the countryside but also need modern facilities and entertainment, there are often supermarkets and launderettes on the parks, as well as restaurants and takeways if you would like complete rest and no cooking for a week. A most important part of being able to relax and enjoy your holiday is having the ability to keep the children entertained so look for a park with plenty of facilities for younsters, maybe a swimming pool, paddle boat hire etc.

One such holiday park is Billing Aquadrome in Northampton. This is a large park set in beautiful countryside with the River Nene running alongside and several lakes inside the park. During the summer you’ll find ducks, geese and swans and their offspring everywhere. You might want to fish in one of the lakes or the river, take a train ride around the main lake, have a go in a go-kart, play adventure golf and take a giant bubble out on the lake to ‘walk on water’. You can swim in the large indoor swimming pool in the newly opened Leisure Complex then have lunch on the deck overlooking Billing Marina. In the summer events are held in the park, one of the most popular being the Balloon Festival and American Car Show at the end of August.

M&B to move towards being a food-led business based in leisure parks

March 25, 2012 by

Article by UK Business

Mitchells & Butlers today published the results of a strategic review of the business, the conclusions of which have been adopted as operating policy immediately. The review takes place after Joe Lewis, the largest shareholder had installed John Lovering as Chairman after the dramatic AGM in January.

M&B owns and operates 2,000 pubs under brands such as Harvester, All-Bar-One and O’Neills. It plans to accelerate its move toward food-led pubs by expanding key brands such as Harvester and Toby Carvery, and withdrawing from “non-core assets”, without spelling out what they were. This will improve key operating ratios, especially net operating margins and improve return on capital expenditure.

M&B will move the basis of pay and culture towards one which encourages greater growth in shareholder value, while addressing the pension funding and reducing net debt to around 5x EBITDA. It will also separate the measurement and reporting of the property and operating performance within the business. The intention is to seek a capital return of 11% on freehold values, 15% on property improvements and 25% on brand specific fit out costs.

Their maintenance capital expenditure budget for the current estate has been planned at ?120million per annum, of this £70million will be focused on sustaining our core business, while £50million is on higher returning concept development and evolution within their normal maintenance cycle. M&B will report the returns of their property and retail business separately to shareholders as part of their full year results.

M&B plan to grow it’s food-led mid-market brands, Harvester from 171 to around 400, Toby Carvery from 133 to around 300, Crown Carveries from 111 to around 300, Sizzling Pub Co from 200 to around 400, Vintage Inns from 237 to around 350 and Premium Country Dining from 61 to around 150. They intend to develop smaller footprint high street variants of Harvester and Toby Carvery, but they principally want to open newly developed “lease viable” versions of the current outlets in leisure parks and other high traffic locations such as retail parks with good car parking.

Implicit in this is an intention to sell off freehold estate assets where they do not fit the new requirements from either a yield, or layout or location point of view. M&B has a large freehold property portfolio which has long been seen as an attractive asset for property investors.

The company’s shares have risen more than 30% in the past year as the business has proved resilient in the downturn despite the boardroom problems.
