We are up for the weekend for London and made a last minute booking with activity centre. They were very accommodating. We did clay pigeon shooting and quad biking. It could not have been better fun. Money well spent in my opinion. The safety briefings were clear and well explained. Guidance all the way on each activity. I would highly recommend it.

We visited the hawkshead beer festival in July as a party of 4. This beer festival is held twice yearly in the village of Steverley in Cumbria, and in my opinion is a must do event for real ale drinkers with over 80 different beers on tap. We had a fantastic day at the festival, and managed to sample over 20 different beers, some nice and some not so nice!!. There were live bands playing throughout the day, adding to the chilled atmosphere. There was also various food stations around the venue selling a variety of cuisines. Great day out, this is the second time we have been and will try and return in 2019.

What a fabulous place to spend a few hours! A garden with something for everyone - luxurious vegetables, dramatic topiary, borders, willow maze, croquet lawn...all maintained to perfection. The house (we didn't take a tour because of having my very elderly mum with us who would have struggled) is handsome and serene from the outside. Walk under hornbeam (?) pleached walkways, sit by the beautiful giant lily pond. It's lovely. The cafe is elegant and classy - National-Trust-smart architecture but without the food all being the same! Our cream teas were excellent. And a gift shop with things we really wanted to buy, well chosen. 100% is my score.

Sizergh Castle, the home of the Strickland family since 1239, turned out to be a most memorable day and of tremendous interest. The Hall didn’t open until midday so we spent a good hour wandering through the stunning gardens, thankfully in brilliant warm sunshine. The limestone rock garden was made in 1926 and contained beautiful Japanese maples and ferns of spectacular golden colours (mid-September). The mid-14th-century Solar Tower dominates the south-east front effectively landscaped with stone terraces and steps leading down to the lily pond. The interior contained some wonderful pieces of furniture and stunning bronze figurines. Cecilia Strickland transformed the Hall from 1773 onwards but was stricken with chronic arthritis forcing her to resort to using a wooden chair which had been fitted with wheels in quite a homespun but nonetheless ingenious fashion. This National Trust owned property really was a highlight on our week-long holiday and the restaurant is geared up in a very professional way to serve good meals which was attracting a significant number of visitors. The staff throughout the whole complex were engaging, polite and extremely knowledgeable without being over intrusive. A really great find which could have easily been missed due to the high charges for car parking .... something that seriously needs looking at National Trust! Visitors WILL spend in so many other ways and be quite generous with their giving too, but hitting them hard from the outset is not the way to do it. A property that totally justifies a 5-star rating.

Driving through the national park en-route to Scotland....awesome terrain, fabulous lakes and views and just for the driving experience over the passes on the minor roads it was well worth the journey from CORNWALL!! If you are looking for a family holiday where every member can find something of interest and you can't make it to Cornwall then this is the place for you!
