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
Two Night Inviting Break for Two

Fantastic time

Incredible fun and a great chance to see a new city. We chose Bath as we had never been before. It was a good choice. The treasure hunt was challenging in places, especially when the answer was finally found hidden behind scaffolding. It was also informative. Beware and be warned when printing the clues. We didnt notice until we were home that one question had dropped off the page. So we were only able to submit 49 answers! Quite frustrating to say the least. There is no time limit in the day and you could even split it over two days. Allow at least a few hours to complete the hunt so that you can enjoy it and have breaks. (It takes more than the recommended time if you want to really enjoy it.) You can also divert from the route to explore further afield. A fantastic well planned quiz and I would definitely do another one somewhere else if I get the chance. Well done LPWT!

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.
