1. The moors, where they would wander for hours, are perfect for those who enjoy walking.
The moors (like barren fields in England), <(clause)> where they would *walk around* for hours, are perfect for *people* who enjoy walking. (So, if you like walking, the moors (fields) are perfect for you.)
2. <...> A break at the Radison SAS Portman Hotel will be right up your street.
You will really like a *break from work/holiday* at the Radison SAS Portman Hotel.
("right up your street", is an informal phrase which means, 'will specifically be good for you'.
3. You must also be sure to allow yourself the time to enjoy the leisury facilities of the hotel itself.
The hotel has really nice facilities, so make sure you use them. (these sentences use persuasive language that is probably difficult for foreign people to understand and they don't translate well)
4. <...> Such as four poster beds <...>
Four poster beds are a type of luxurious bed. Here is a picture: http://www.fourposterbed.co.uk/four_poster_beds/Images/Large/Juniper-Wooden/Four_Poster_Bed_woodjun.jpg
5. <...> Claimed to be those of the legendary King Arthur's castle.
Is is talking about stones or something? King Arthur is an England myth, he is very famous and ruled around AD 500.
6. Will certainly appeal to history lovers and aspiring writers alike.
The place that it is talking about will attract people who like literature and history.
It sounds to me like you are looking at a brochure for a hotel in England - go for it, it sounds nice! :)
