Quantock Trekking

Reviewed By Sassy_Murdoch - Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom

My husband and I spent a lovely weekend staying at Bashford Lodge at Quantock trekking, which included riding on Saturday and Sunday. Gill and the friendly staff took the time to match us with the right horse for our experience and confidence. My husband had had a lot of lessons but hadn't done much hacking, so they put him on a quiet safe mare, and I had done more hacking but lost my confidence, so they put me on two different, safe cobs. Saturday was a 5 hour pub ride with a stop for lunch in a pub where we were met by Gill and some staff, who tied up the horses and gave them hay nets while we eat lunch. I was very tired after three and a half hours so one of the staff rode my horse back and I got a lift, but my husband managed the whole 5 hours. I didn't feel I could do the 3 hour trek on the Sunday so my husband did 3 hours and I went on a separate 2 hour trek. The point of telling you is that they were very accommodating. One of the highlights of the weekend was watching the horses come down the hill for their breakfast, then back up the hill after their ride as they went past our balcony. Although the horses we rode were safe and calm, they were all very fit, and the Saturday ride had about 6 canters. Some of those cobs can really go! So if you are more experienced there is also plenty to enjoy, but equally, there are novice rides too. The horses were happy and healthy. The scenery is incredible and vary varied - you could see for miles on top of the hill and we met several wild ponies. I would definitely recommend Quantock trekking and hope we have the opportunity to return.

South West Deer Rescue

Reviewed By K985UTpaulap - St Austell, United Kingdom

We went for My husbands birthday and to be honest were not expecting too much but were blown away by the size of the place, the amount of deer, the knowledge and friendliness of the guys and how tame and gentle the deer were. Would highly recommend, we were on our guided tour for around 2.5 hours. Definitely take wellies, waterproofs if wet and plenty of carrots and digestive biscuits for the lovely deer. We would love to go back again some day, maybe to their open day on the 1st weekend of July.

A really fantastic show, enjoyed by the whole family (kids and grandparents). The show takes place in a smallish room above a pub, the atmosphere was great - brilliant magic accompanied by humour and lots of audience participation

Lock & Code Escape Rooms

One team, one room, one mission. Can you escape in just 60 minutes? Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Think of it as a mix between The Da Vinci code and a treasure hunt. Here at Lock and Code we intend to deliver an unforgettable experience, with story driven and atmospheric rooms. Our rooms are suitable for couples, groups of adults, families and older children. You need a minimum of 2 people to play and a maximum of 6 for each room. (don't worry, if you're playing as a couple or smaller group, you still get the room to yourself. We wont add in other players like some other escape rooms!

My partner and I took part in the escape room, music box. On arrival the host was welcoming followed the covid rules, which enabled us to feel safe. The game was brilliant! The puzzles were challenging, we laughed and escaped with 34 seconds to spare! We would recommend this, it was a great date night. Dave and Katy
