We went to the open day on the 7/3/20,we had a 40min free ride in an old bus. Really took us back to our childhood, the kids loved it ????. The museum is a credit to the people that run it. Amazing fun, and such lovely volunteers thankyou so much. I would recommend to anyone.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Really interesting little museum and gorgeous leatherwork throughout. Staff there were lovely and really helpful too - even offering to help my son make his own personalised leather key ring, which he loved. Beautiful, quality leather items in the gift shop too!

Amazing day and such a relaxing experience that I slept all the way home. Food is gorgeous. We arrived to a breakfast of hot croissants, fresh fruit (fresh chunks of pineapple and melon most definitely not tinned) with all the cereals and granola plus endless tea and coffee. Spa facilities were lovely and clean. Robes and towels thick and fluffy. I liked that you got 2 towels and could replace further if needed but I didn’t need to. We had the Elemis paper party which came free with our package. Lovely lady comes with all the kit where you can try all the expensive products. Really enjoyed that with the hot face mitt I felt like I’d had my own facial. Lunch was lovely again. Delicious choices of cold meats salad and hot roast potatoes. Afternoon warm mince pies and goey chocolate brownie. No bland rabbit food here you get fed well with quality food. We were about to buy a glass of fizz with our lunch then realised a winter fizz came free with our package! Didn’t even have to ask as 2 glasses of fizz arrived at our reserved table. We didn’t have time for treatments but would love to come back snd try some. It’s so nice to be able to spend a day on yourself doing something relaxing in this busy world of work and fast paced life. The people we got friendly with said this place beats the big names like Hoarcross so if I did another spa day I would definitely come back here. In fact we loved it so much and the staff and atmosphere of the main hotel with beautiful bar and restaurant we booked afternoon tea for 2 for the new year. A bit more expensive than a lot of other places but we know it will be worth it.

We are regulars at the the casino and are always greeted pleasantly and enjoy our gaming experience. We would like to highlight the work of Hayley and Marie in particular, they are outstanding members of staff who always brighten our experience and bring warmth to the casino. The only improvement I could suggest is that there is some sort of bell/alert for bar staff, we only visit at non peak times and it can be quite some time to get served at the bar. See you soon :)

Lovely house and forge in Willenhall. Good for young and not so young visitors. ???? Story telling by the open fire, roasted chestnuts and knowledgable members of the team to talk through the history. Lovely example of a house from years gone by. Easily spent a couple of hours here.

Where do start, Excellent Beer and wine choices, Staff and customers are very friendly, if your feeling peckish there's the Best Pork Pies with giant Pickled Onions, Pickled eggs and Bostin Cobs. It's clean and warm and a ideal place to chill.
