Christmas Magic Gift Box

Great gift idea

If you’re looking to do something fun as a family this place is great. The best bowling place I’ve been to. The fact they have a DJ is great. Food is worth the money especially the pizza really tasty and to end the night the kids loved having a go on the arcade games which normally I think are a rip off but these have loads of new games I’ve not seen before plus they wasn’t expensive and you won tickets and didn’t need thousands just to win a lollypop. Really would recommend definitely will be bad again even tho we have closer bowling arcades this is worth the travel

Lovely relaxing tea

Staff were friendly and welcoming from the start. The restaurant looked amazing, complete with pianist. And the tea was to die for. I've never had such tasty sandwiches and cakes. There was so much we went home with a doggy bag each.

Stunning venue, gorgeous food, impeccable service

We had lunch there on a Saturday in November, were delighted to see what a stunning restaurant it is - pure elegance and beauty - the service was phenomenal, discrete but so friendly and attentive, and the food lived up to what you'd expect from a Michelin * place. Also, quantity was perfect across the three courses. Do bear in mind that, other than the welcome drink and the three courses, everything else is extra. We spend close to £150 over and above our voucher, but you'd expect that in any restaurant nowadays, and the voucher made the overall lunch very affordable.

Very good gift

I received vouchers from work as a gift. I used them for theatre tickets to see the musical Back to the Future. It was wonderful and the children were delighted, but when ordering the tickets, I entered the wrong email address, and Red Letter Days sent them to the wrong address. I tried to explain this numerous times and spent hours talking to customer service, but unfortunately, no one could help me. A terribly unpleasant experience. I had to explain everything only at the theatre under stress.Terrible customer service!!!

Happy happy happy. Very helpful. Disappointed that you don't do single shooters for health and safety and insurance, but there would be staff present, it's not like you would be left alone with a rifle and live ammunition?

Afternoon Tea delight

We were thoroughly spoilt with an Afternoon Tea at Bovey Castle. The attention to assisting was flawless from parking the car, helping with an elderly guest and repeating the selection of homemade goodies to us. The homity pie was outstanding. The fresh scones were fantastic and the choice of teas to wash it all down were replenished as required. Looking forward to returning.
