I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been here. Came here on the first day it opened and have been coming back since. Had some of the best day of airsoft here and the sites always changing there’s always something new been done or a new type of game play which keeps it interesting. Justin and Charlotte do a fantastic job of running the site. Not forgetting the marshals they do a great job as well. Oh and the food is always good the burgers are the bomb. Thank you for some of the greatest days of airsoft I’ve ever had. I’ll always recommend you guys :)

we went to visit, just because we had an hour to kill. little did i know that we would find a true working mill! Nigel Moon - a true living image of windy miller - was more than happy to tell us the history of this great working mill and let us climb up into the upper levels of the tower. Would loved to have been able to buy some flour but as we live overseas it wasn’t really possible. But talking to Mr Moon has made me more determined to buy quality bread or even try to make it myself! great place to take children

Ladies, you know who you are!! Thank you so much for all of your support on Saturday and Sunday last weekend. Lyndon Visitor Centre is a must for looking at Ospreys. There is a webcam that can be viewed from the Rutland and Leicestershire Wildlife Trust Website where you're able to watch the infamous 33 & Maya reunite in March after wintering in West Africa. Nature takes it course and eggs and chicks soon follow and you're able to watch every moment of their development until they fledge. Anyone interested in this and the conservation of the Ospreys can visit Lyndon and see the birds in person (So to speak) This is effectively a private part of Rutland Water where you're able to take a stroll down to the hide, where you can sit and view the Ospreys. We did the Osprey Cruise in the Saturday evening on the Rutland Belle. This is a guided tour and the crew and ladies from Lyndon point out the Ospreys in flight and out catching fish. All of this is amazing, but it is topped off by the two ladies who provided the information during the cruise and were also at the visitor centre on the Sunday. Thank you both for the telephone calls on the build up to the weekend and for all of your help and support to help us socially distance so that we were able to have a fabulous experience.

One Way Out is a fantastic escape room experience located in Oakham, Rutland. Use strategy, team work and brain power to crack codes, solve puzzles and complete the game in 70 minutes. During the event your game master will guide you if you need a hint. Work together, think together and most importantly, laugh together. Our games are also the best value anywhere, with prices between £12.50 and £20 per head depending on group size and for that you get up to 70-80 minutes of play (depending on which game you choose)

We had a fantastic experience! We decided to try the murder mystery and unfortunately got caught by the police! The stage and clues were well set and provided a good challenge, well worth a visit for all you murder mystery lovers!
