Was given tasting kit and tour for Christmas. Brilliantly well presented live on Zoom, great hosts, showed you how to make Bramble cocktail and several other drinks from the miniatures provided in pack (Vodka, sloe Gin, Marmalade Gin, Pink Grapefruit and GB Gin, two bottles of Fevertree tonic) and gave guided tour and talk. Great for a party and fun interaction - done really well during COVID lockdown and much needed relief!

My Husband and I have been to Docklow Pools twice and it is a fabulous place to go to . The accommodation is very clean , The Scenery is stunning, The walks through the woods are great ,the fishing is great with lots of lakes to fish , the meals are amazing , and most of all Jonathon and all his staff are very friendly, very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them . It is also a place you can go to in the winter times just to relax and unwind. We love it there so we have booked to go again in later this year and next year .

Brook House Woods

Reviewed By SophieRowe524 - Elland, United Kingdom

We’ve (begrudgingly) just returned home from the most wonderful break at Brook House Woods, and to say we enjoyed it is a huge understatement. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Yurt for three nights, and the feeling of solitude you get from the surroundings, and accommodation itself, made it feel like much more. The accommodation was beautiful, with an incredibly comfy bed and the most gorgeous bedding - it was the best nights sleep we’ve had in ages! The outdoor woodland kitchen is truly beautiful, and the food we ordered ahead (a cake, breakfast, pizza dough and some local beers) was fantastic! We cooked the pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven and the little gas stove was perfect for everything else. The bathroom was quite a surprise! Totally private right next door to the yurt, beautifully clean and much larger than expected. The Yurt also has a private decked area with fire pit which we spent most early mornings and evenings sat out on. If you’re looking for a ‘get away from it all’ weekend, I truly can’t recommend this place enough. We didn’t venture far as the local area was so lovely, and spent our days walking to the local pub, drinking craft cider at the on site cidery ‘Little Pomona’, watching a film in the private outdoor cinema, and taking park in a wood work workshop (also handily on site). We can’t wait to come back!

Berrington Hall

Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington has many secrets to uncover. Here in one of Henry Holland’s first houses, you can explore the family rooms and walk in the servants’ footsteps down the back stairs, moving around the house unseen by the family and guests. You will find out what happened to William Kemp, LordCawley’s butler, and discover the anguish of a grieving mother during the First World War. Alternatively why not join a below-stairs tour to see if you would have liked being a servant at Berrington?

Hereford Cathedral

Reviewed By JenAnnie - Nottingham, United Kingdom

What a fabulous visit we had to the Cathedral We can certainly recommend it Altho due to Covid some of the Cathedral is roped off, we walked round mist of it it is beautiful & it has such a brilliant History attached to it We went thru to the Chained Library (fascinating) & the Mappa Mundy which was a superb artifact to see. So interesting to see the Medieval map where scholars only knew & depicted Europe Asia & Africa. With many unusual birds & beats. So glad we went to see it. 5 star review for the Cathedral experience.

Two extremely helpful young men were manning the desk. The exhibits were of excellent quality, and the information boards ideal. Got completely lost in time. Really good value at £3.50. Felt I had really stepped back in time in the lovely atmosphere of the House
