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.

Overnight Glamping Escape for Two

Sharing time with friends.

I hired 2 pods to have a special time away with ‘working’ friends. This was the perfect break away for all of us. Peaceful environment with stars at night, fire pit , BBQ, walking the Malvern hills by day, exploring local historic town and enjoying living in nature amongst the farm animals. The second night we met some like minded campers around the fire pit which added to the fun. The distance to get there was manageable from the South and on return 2 of us went by train which is only 15 minutes away. We all felt we would love to come again and do more walking and exploring.

Bath

Great stay in Tyndall House Bath Boutique Hotel, Bath. Perfect location for the City centre, really well appointed hotel, friendly staff and beautifully cooked breakfast. We had to be moved two doors down, as there had been some damage to our room in the adjacent hotel. But Chris had phoned us the day before to explain. The room we were given was spacious.
