"Between October 2019 and January 2020, I found myself working in Hammersmith at a job that I hated. The workload was completely unmanageable so every day in the office was frantic. I worked flat-out but at the end of each day, I hadn’t got any nearer to getting on top of my workload than I was at the start of the day. This was a miserable chapter in my life to be sure but one of the few good things about this period was that I discovered Bäkehaus, a German bakery and coffee shop. My place of work was located just behind King Street so I used to escape my desk at lunchtime to go to Bäkehaus for something to eat. This restaurant became my little sanctuary during this time, a place of calm and cosiness which was the perfect antidote to my horrible office. As the name suggests, Bäkehaus bake their own fresh bread every day. In addition to bread, there are pastries, cakes, filled baguettes, salads, fresh oven-baked pizza and hot dogs available to buy. The food here is fantastic. I usually opted for a baguette and my favourite was the chicken and avocado, which was crammed with thick slices of both and garnished with salad leaves. The baguette bread is just as it should be: crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The salads are really good, too. They usually consist of the same contents as the baguettes, except they’re served in a box without the bread. I used to like the chicken and avocado salad, too (what can I say, I’m a creature of habit! , and thought the little pot of balsamic vinaigrette included in the box was a really nice touch; it’s lovely to drizzle on your salad or to dunk a freshly-baked bread roll into. My only grumble about the lunch options was that they didn’t have many sides to go with a baguette or a salad. They only sell one flavour of crisps but even these weren’t always available and the only other option was a yoghurt and granola pot, served with either chopped strawberry or mango. The yoghurt was delicious but not something I wanted to eat every day so it would have been nice if there were some other options available, for example soup of fresh fruit. I only tried the pizza once but this was a hit, too. Served piping hot out of the oven, you get a very large slice for a reasonable price. I had the pepperoni topping and was really impressed with it: picture a crispy crust and strings of gooey mozzarella as you take a bite. There are lots of other toppings to try as well if you don’t fancy pepperoni. I didn’t try any of the hot dogs because I was trying to eat healthily (and they are also quite pricey but I definitely want to go back to try one because they looked delicious. They serve a really good cup of coffee that is presented to you in a modern china cup and saucer (better than the paper cups you get in some other establishments and the hot chocolate is rich and velvety and a lovely treat on a cold winter’s day. A perfect companion to one of Bäkehaus’ hot drinks is a slice of one of their freshly baked cakes. Actually, slab might be a better noun to use rather than slice because the cakes are enormous and you get a really big piece for your money. I tried the apple pie which is really good; the pastry is subtly sweet and there a big chunks of apple inside. As I mentioned above, the atmosphere in Bäkehaus is lovely, especially in the run up to Christmas, which is when I visited most often. The staff greeted me with a smile and were always helpful and polite. The restaurant is lit with warm yellow lighting and was decorated with lots of white fairy lights for the festive season. When looking from the inside out on to the cold blue light of King Street, it felt really cosy inside. Added to this, Christmas classics like “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Let It Snow” played on the stereo, which gave it an almost magical feel and many times I didn’t want to leave. Bäkehaus is a real gem offering something a little bit different in terms of food and atmosphere compared to the other usual suspects that appear on King Street. I quit my awful job at the end of January and am much happier in my new role. I’m so grateful I discovered Bäkehaus because it was a sanctuary for me during this time and I’ll always have fond memories of it."

"Not many cafes or restaurants open in Thurso on a Monday so we opted for Y’Not because we have been there a few times in the past. The restaurant and toilets were very clean. There was only one lad serving, clearing tables, taking orders, dealing with queries and making drinks. There was another staff member around but I’m not too sure what his role was. I was there with my husband and our two year old and nine month old granddaughters. We were presented with 4 adult menus. No idea why we would need 4. I asked for a child menu which quickly arrived. We ordered drinks but the coffees aren’t exactly full. I also ordered a bottle of water which arrived with no glass. I asked for a glass and was presented with a whisky tumbler! We ordered a child’s macaroni, a steak ciabatta and a Highland burger. We then waited approximately 50 minutes for it to arrive even though only one table had food during that time. When the food did arrive the steak ciabatta didn’t have fried onions or corn on the cob as stated on the menu. There was a generous helping of onion relish though. The meal could have been hotter but it was really, really tasty and the steak was cooked the way I liked it and the ciabatta was packed with steak. It would have been better with thicker chips and not stringy fries. The Highland burger was also tasty but it was only warm. The kids macaroni tasted like ready made sauce and had no cheese on top. It was almost cold. We asked for a second cappuccino but it didn’t arrive. Overall, we will come back. The food is good, just not hot enough and it takes far too long to arrive at the table. The front of house staff needs assistance. He’s definitely over worked at busy times. This could be a great restaurant if the niggles are sorted."

"Our experience with this property is one of utter disgust. My main issue is due to the lies that have been told since requesting a full refund as we felt we could not sleep at the property due to the fumes of gloss paint. Whilst...watching a film the smell caused me to have a headache and feel sick. When reporting this and asking for an alternative room the person who I dealt with, who seemed to be in charge on that evening said ‘I cannot do anything about the paint’ I thought this was in itself quite patronising as of course she couldn’t but I said we should have been pre warned and we were not. I am asthmatic also. When we first got to our room, we had to call the same lady up to our room to sort the tv as this was not working and also pointed out to her that a floor tile on the bathroom was broken and we had had to place a towel over the tile to save our feet and our dogs as this was sharp. She sorted the tv, but she seemed to be aware of the tile, which to be honest wasn’t great but small issue so we stayed. We only left due to the paint smell. My husband was advised to contact booking.com as I was looking for a refund as we could not stay overnight. Booking.com spoke with the property and to our complete shock they said we were pre warned about the paint ! This is absolutely rubbish as we were not. Furthermore, it was said that my husband has said we were happy with the room, not really as we had already complained about the TV and the tile so no not 100 happy. If, the property had come back with an apology or any empathy etc and offered a part refund I probably would have accepted but they have refused a refund at all and lied to say we had been told about the paint. Furthermore, contradicted themselves, when speaking with Steph who works in the property to say she wasn’t aware the property had been painted so, if that’s the case why would they have pre warned us. Within my profession I understand all about customer service and the way this property has acted is disgusting. To completely lie is outrageous and I am very shocked ! Also when asking who I would need to send an email to to write a complaint Steph would only provide me with a first name, Beth and refused to provide me with her second name and email address! I will continue to pursue this matter and now even more so because of the barefaced lies. Such a shame as really needed to get away to relax. Food was lovely but very patronising staff and liars too. The whole point of an overnight stay, weekend stay is to be able relax. I wasn’t able to due to the gloss smell."

"well made to all hard working ground and air personnel in london luton airport especially ryanair, I traveled with on Sunday 19.12.21 it was a difficult and difficult time during the coronavirus with many changes of travel and additional documentation. passagiere, make sure that they have the necessary documents before their journey, as it leads to unwanted loads for the passagiere that have their papers in order and are delayed due to them. before the passengers must have a negative test either rt pcr (valid for 72 hours) or antigen lateral flow (valid for 48 hours) from recommended practicing not themselves tested at home. they must have cops of the 1st and 2nd vaccination plus booster if available and they must have completed a passenger location form. if they are not vaccinated, they must have a negative rt pcr test. check the website as dinge that constantly change. it is probably best if you can print out all documents as they need internet access to access them at the airport end destination. they can also upload all documents to their flight app. As long as they can access it, it will be good. allow more time as many passagate their flights have missed due to this. well done to the employees (lady) at Ryanair vessel number 16 on 19/12/21, who are in matching single-handed and still very happy and helpful for all. all workers at the airport london luton work very hard so that please be friendly."
