As a party of 8 we split into two groups of 4 (boys vs girls!) and had the most brilliant time. We admittedly haven't done that many escape rooms to date, but of those we have this was most definitely the best so far. The staff were super friendly (and super helpful when needed to be!) and we all had great fun all round (especially as the boys escaped quicker than the girls!!!) Many thanks, and would highly recommend.

Lovely church, gardens and hall to visit. I enjoyed the kitchen by the hall and a good way to spend and hour having a good look around.

We stopped for an un-planned lunch after a nice walk along the water meadows. We didn’t realise they did roasts before we arrived, as it wasn’t on the menu online (as far as we could see!) however thankfully they did! We sat outside in the sun, the service was very friendly and efficient - all members of staff were helpful and my roast was delicious! The lamb was lovey, the roast potatoes were perfect, there were fun extras like creamed leeks and Yorkshire pudding and overall it was a very pleasant stop-off! My husband had the steak pie and also enjoyed it thoroughly!

What a great weekend! Nine of us stayed (or ten if you include daisy the dog) in the biggest of the forest cabins. It was a family get together and we had a wonderful time. The underfloor heating kept us all warm, along with the log burner. What is good is that you do not heed to leave the cabin if you don’t want to. We had a breakfast delivered on one day and went out to the cafe retreat for an evening neal on another. And the hot tub? Brilliant.

Hidden away in the older part of Winchester, we found these ruins to be more extensive that envisaged. Beautifully presented and with many information boards throughout the area giving a comprehensive history of the Castle. It is a very peaceful setting and away from the noise of the city itself. English Heritage have made it free to enter which probably explains several people having a lunchtime picnic on a beautiful day !!
