Rudding Park Hotel, Harrogate

All quiet on the western front. This makes me think there is an attack due in the east shortly.

This week's hotel was recently named the UK's top hotel (outside of London, by Tripadviser) and includes helicopter co-ordinates in the 'contact us' section. If you're thinking of turning up in a Learjet you may need to book ahead.

Just for reference Dyke Bottom Farm is a camp site near to the hotel.

Message to the Rudding Park Hotel, Harrogate

"Dear Sir/Madam/proprietary type,

I have been discussing literary requirements with Dyke Bottom Farm and they have assured me that guests to their establishment receive a complimentary copy of Irvine Welsh's 'Trainspotting' in their bedside cabinets.

I have spent many a night in so-called luxury hotels only to find they have a few threadbare copies of Oscar Wilde's greatest hits and illustrated Shakespeare in a shared library. Never before have I been offered my own copy of a book I like to return to time and time again.

Could your establishment offer the same or should I book in with the other chaps? Frankly I think a copy of good literature in every room is the starting block for new entrepreneurs in your business. I realise that this is just my opinion but all facts are essentially based on an initial idea...or physics if you're looking out towards the rest of the universe.

Kind regards,

T. Lander esq."
