Short Breaks in the West Midlands

Great gift. Lots of places to choose from

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.

Me and my partner enjoyed the murder mystery event. The cast of actors were fun and engaged, and the overnight stay at the Mercure Hotel in Gloucester was nice. The food was very nice too.

An excellent overnight stay in a beautiful boutique hotel with great food. A real treat. Highly recommend!

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

Great hotel and food, friendly staff. Hotel right on the water front with lovely views of Menai bridge.

Our stay in windermere was excellent..the break was needed.. Nice list of hotels to choose from. When arriving at the hotel we were looked after .. The voucher was handed over with compliments. The nicest part was we don't have pay ourselves as the voucher was a gift.. I recommend red letter days to those who wish to buy someone a gift. The experience was fantastic

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.

Lovely site, good facilities and friendly host, would definitely recommend.

We loved the concept of staying in a Romany-type caravan for two nights. The location suited us as naturalists so well with places like Arne Heath and Brownsea Island so close. We did other trips to Thomas Hardy’s house; Corfe Castle and to the Great Bustard project on Salisbury Plain. We packed a lot in but we were there close to Longest Day so we had lots of time to use. We are in our 70’s but encountered no problems here - and the staff were so friendly and helpful too.

The hotel was a bit old fashioned but very comfortable. Great staff!!
