Help with buying dressing gown

Right, apologies if this is in the wrong place but I want some recommendations on where to get a decent robe.

Recently I stayed on holiday at a hotel with the most amazing bathing robes, really soft, bouncy, snug and warm. It probably was a size too big but it was really comfy, you could have just wrapped yourself in it and slept.

I did see some on Ebay (egyptian cotton robes) but are there any recommendations?

    I got a beautiful snuggly purple one from Sainsburys last year and notice they're doing the same ones again this year. It is so warm and cosy I love it!
    Many thanks to everyone who posts competitions and works so hard to provide all the answers!

    M&S do the most beautifully super soft ones. Can't remember what the range is called but you'll know them when you see them, they are so soft to the touch.

    If you have an M&S outlet shop near you, they often have them half price in there.

    Primark do amazing dressing gowns and pyjamas - mine have lasted me a good few years!

    I've had so many and seemed to have gotten a good one every time- shopped at different stores each time.

    The latest was from Primark which came in a set (top, pants and mini/cropped dressing-gown) for £16 but they also have them by themselves.

    Prior to that I had an M&S shorter version (I prefer shorter versions) which still gets worn when the other will be washed. It must be about 5 years old now, they had it for around £9 in the sale I think- they do tend to have them in the sale so maybe keep an eye out?

    I've also seen longer versions which feel very warm from Sainsburys, M&S, BHS and Primark which all seem worth a try, but I'd agree with the comment above by LilacLillie about asking the Hotel, they'd probably tell you they were bought from a mass trade only sales company which just means you email that company and ask where else they sell to retail wise.
