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.

Lovely gift

Had an absolutely brilliant time. Food was exceptional from afternoon tea ,dinner and breakfast the following day. The only issue it was an extremely hot day and there was no air conditioning in the room so very sticky night. Would still highly recommend though.

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.

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
