Good venue Makeney Hotel excellent cast from Murder 57od of a high quality

The venue was good friendly staff,food was good ,the atmosphere was of a friendly but competitive. The cast held their own with the buzz of the crowd with the storyline being laid outand the clues giving an insight into a good whodunit. My wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly. RED letter should hold their heads up high
Premium Murder Mystery Hotel Break with Dinner for Two
Ian · 01-06-2026

Really good time

This experience involved climbing onto a yacht moored at a jetty on Lake Windermere then sailing around the lake for two hours. The host, Ian Doig, was a competent professional sailor and after the meet and greet made a point of asking us if we wanted life jackets. We set off and Ian talked us through the process of pointing the boat into the wind to set the sails, then basic procedures like tacking to get up and down the lake. This was a challenge as the wind was variable and the lake was busy but that made the experience much more enjoyable as we had to keep an eye out for other craft and be aware of changes in wind direction and current etc. A couple times we got up to five knots, which was pretty exhilarating. Ian was was very knowledgeable about the lake and the local area and very communicative, including talking about how he got into sailing. Altogether this was a really enjoyable experience and my only regret is that we couldn't go out again. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in sailing or who wants to explore Lake Windermere and enjoy some fantastic scenery.
