Two Night Break for Two

Hilarious evening

The welcome and service was good and friendly. Good food. Actors brilliant with interesting twists. Good accommodation with delightful 4 footed ling eared neighbours. A few practical points: Entrance sign on the road hidden behind trees on inside bend - no time to turn left safely. Instructions on use of shower need to be provided, particularly with warning that water can become scalding hot.

Amazing hotel

The cathedral gate hotel in Canterbury was amazing. Staff were lovely. Hotel rooms were clean and beds were great. It is in the heart of town but not noisy ans it was all so quirky. Photo from just outside our room

Murder Mystery Gift

A really fun gift for a big birthday from my children. Afternoon tea was lovely. The Murder Mystery was very well done and we had great fun with the guests on our table trying to work out who did it. Alas we were wrong. The Murder 57 Company were excellent. The dinner was fine, although the main could have been warmer. Likewise breakfast was not very hot. The hotel was nice. We stayed for two extra nights before the event. Our room was looking a little on the tired side and the bathroom certainly requires a refurbishment, bath panel cracked, a cracked tile and mould on the grouting. Also a crack in the sink. It took us back to the 1980's, when we bought our first house - colour of bathroom suite ivory. A small wardrobe with five hangers for two people. We had to lay our coats on the table. No double glazing which meant the windows were running in condensation. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Sorry we didn't take any photos. Overall a very good experience. We would do it again. Now we have to book our theatre break in London.

Relaxing and rejuvenating

We enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay at Whittlebury Hall with use of the spa facilities, ice cave and steam rooms and saunas. A very tasty 3 course meal and buffet breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed feeling pampered and spoilt and came away relaxed and rejuvenated.

A great fun night, good food, brilliant show!

This was our first experience of a Murder Mystery Dining Experience, we will definitely be doing it again. It kept us guessing all night, the actors were brilliant and the food was pretty good too. I would recommend both the experience and the hotel we stayed in (Mercure Tunbridge Wells)
