The Secret Escape Reviews

Craig

Absolutely loved it, what a wonderful place. We were a party of adults and kids, the kids had the best time ever because they were in a secure area but could roam free within the grounds and entertain themselves in the hot tub, games room, cuddling the ducks and just being kids. Adults enjoyed some chill time knowing kids were safe we could be adulRead morets. Had some issues with room temperature and hot tubs but the owner was very obliging and sorted any problems we had straight away. We will be back. Hide

Sara

Just enjoyed my birthday weekend. Dave the owner was very responsive when I emailed queries and nothing was too much trouble. He and his wife really go the extra mile to ensure we had an enjoyable stay, their ethos was it was our home for the weekend. The venue itself is superb for large groups, great bedrooms, en suites and communal areas. Spotles sly clean hot tubs, emptied and cleaned after each group. Everything you need and more in the kitchen area. Brilliant weekend.

Nathan

Perfect venue, hosts and location. Would recommend to anyone.

Stephanie

My company and I have hired a house every year for a company weekend away, for many years now. This house is by far the best place we have ever been to. Not only is the house very clean and a great space for a big group to socialise and do fun activities, but the hosts and staff could not be more accommodating and helpful. We had an absolutely amaz ing time and will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Matthew

We stayed here as a group of 21 family members. The owners were on hand to help with anything we needed. The children were kept occupied with the hot tubs and games room. The communal areas were very comfortable and well thought out. The nightclub in the basement is amazing! The rooms are well thought out, spacious and have good facilities. I would thoroughly recommend this place for a family holiday - we made some great memories in our time there.
