I am truly blown away from my experience at the Stress-Busting Retreat hosted by The Pamper Lounge Team. It has been a life changing experience for me! From the pilates, the food, the nature walk, meditation, laughing yoga and group hypnotherapy sessions... what a memorable experience indeed. I highly recommend everyone to experience a retreat with The Pamper Lounge, it’s a must!

3. World of James Herriot
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,291 reviews
You’ve probably read the books written by James Alfred Wight or watched “All Creatures Great and Small” on TV. Now come and see where James Herriot, the world’s most famous vet, lived, worked and relaxed. See his home and surgery in Thirsk; travel back in time to what life was like when James was a vet in Yorkshire. See the car he drove, step into the TV set, try your hand at being a vet and even experience what it was like to hide in a World War 2 air raid shelter!

This has got to be one of my favourite place's I have visited. The house looked as though the family had just popped out and you was visiting. The write ups were interesting and explained what happened in each of the rooms and how they were used over the years. There was also a room where children and adults could take part in interactive tasks. I use a mobility scooter and it was all fully accessible with the exception of the air raid shelter and this is explained on entry, there photos you can see if you wish, you also get free entry for one carer. The staff were very helpful and happy and items in the gift shop reasonable priced. Would highly recommend
