Lovely Time

We had a fabulous stay for our anniversary and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Our room was comfortable, clean, and beautifully presented, making our celebration feel extra special. The hotel itself was lovely, with a relaxing atmosphere and excellent facilities. Thank you to everyone for helping make our anniversary memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this hotel to family and friends. We look forward to returning in the future

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 experience. Port Lympne is an absolutely wonderful place to visit.

Staying overnight at the Zoo was an unforgettable experience. So special. Made all the more special by every member of staff we interacted with. They were all amazing. Food was great, we ate at Babydolls (dinner) and Bear Lodge (breakfast). The whole experience is very unique and highly recommended.

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

One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.

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.
