Things to do in Poole

My son was gifted this for Christmas and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He learned lots of interesting facts about meerkats from the keeper and got to feed them lots of mealworms. There were some 5 week old babies which made the experience even more memorable! A unique and memorable gift for children and adults of all ages.

Had a lovely afternoon at the Normanton Park 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

We were gifted a champagne afternoon tea and although we had difficulty getting through on the phone to the Hyll Hotel, Charingworth, Chipping Campden (formerly Charingworth Manor), but we were able to book in on line without any problems and realise the phone issue may have been something to do with the recent renovation work? On our arrival we were greeted at reception by a lovely young lady who took us through to the dining area which appears to have been recently updated but is very tastefully decorated, tables are not too close together and chairs very comfortable. We apologised, as we had forgotten to bring the gift voucher (realised as we were parking the car!) but they were able to find the reference number from the original booking and nothing seemed too much trouble. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious albeit very filling. The young gentleman who served us, offered to box up the remaining cakes and, although unexpected and not something we often do, we didn’t want to miss out on the delicious looking cakes, so gratefully accepted - he was very attentive without being invasive and at the end of our tea, he chatted with us for a while and we must commend him on his professionalism and politeness throughout the afternoon. We enjoyed the tea so much, we intend to return to have a Sunday lunch or dinner as we are sure the chef won’t disappoint. We would highly recommend a visit and our compliments to all the staff we met and we look forward to our return visit.

A very difficult journey to reach Marlow, then a problem to park. But staff responded by taking care of us so we were able to destress to enjoy our meal. Thank you.

A very good afternoon out despite it being a very wet and windy Monday. Lovely food, lovely drinks.

Excellent.A nice selection of beers and a succulent variety hamburger

Took our grandson aged 4we all loved it the train was spotlessly clean very friendly the guard even invited our grandson into the cab which he loved would definitely recommend excellent value

Very special experience, me and my partner enjoyed a meal out that we would never normally be able to afford so it was a great treat!
