Second time visiting the spa. First time was 12 years ago and would definitely return. The place is very clean and well looked after. Love the pool (even though it was a bit cooler than expected) such a nice atmosphere here. Had a lovely himalayan hot stone massage and facial. The heated beds to sit on beforehand were a lovely touch. Parking is fine, staff great. Recommend getting the gown and towel package, definitely made the difference.

What an absolutely lovely afternoon we had with yourselves. Your staff were very nice and very polite. Lots of parking. The different lavenders were lovely to see, smell and pick. The benches strategically placed at the top of the lavender lanes was an excellent resting stop. My only complaint was paying £10 for four cans of coke and £6 for a tea & coffee was a little steep but otherwise, a great time was had by all.

This is a great place for a walk, and really great if you have kids that like to run around a lot and like wind turbines. Parking is reasonably priced, but not free. The visitor's centre is a beautiful building which has information, a shop, and a cafe inside. Dogs are welcome in the cafe. Outside of that is a playground area with swings, slides, and a good network of ropes as a climbing frame.

Must admit, didn't really want to come here. How wrong I was. My husband and I got the fully inclusive day ticket, which included a hot ( or cold ) meal and a drink, free guide book and the sea lion display. We had a wonderful day, even though the weather could have been better. We drove round the main park three times throughout the day ( you could go round as many times as you liked ). Saw all the animals we expected ( the guide book was very useful ) - some very close up too! Walked round the small animal zoo, watched various creatures being fed and enjoyed watching the sea lion performance. There was a good choice of food on the menu in the cafe ( there was another cafe near the sea lion performance area which did pizzas and fast food ) and it was of a good quality. The staff kept the cafe very clean, clearing tables as soon as people vacated. The shop had a vast supply of cuddly toys amongst other less expensive items. In all we had a thoroughly enjoyable day and would definitely recommend it.

Another great day out, there was plenty to see and do. All the animals looked well cared for and fed. It was amazing how close you felt you were to some of animals. Including the lions and the sun bear. The glass so clean it was like it wasn't there. The shops were responsibly priced and depending on your budget they had plenty to choose from. The food was nice and was a generous portion. Overall we had an amazing day would I would happily return.

Took Scouts and Explorers there for a climbing session. Leaders had the chance to join in too. Fantastic opportunity for a team building exercise as everyone got involved. Brilliant place. Staff are amazing. Can’t wait to return! 🤩

One of the most beautiful houses we have ever visited. The trip here was made so much more special by Dermot. A huge thank you for making us feel so welcome Dermot. We felt like we got the VIP treatment, you are a wonderful asset to such a magnificent house, it was a pleasure to meet you. The staff make this place. They are incredibly kind and have a wealth of knowledge. It was not busy at all when we visited which added to the charm. It’s also impeccably kept. We did the wood walk after we visited the house which I would also recommend. I was so impressed I’ll be telling everyone to visit.

We visited Whipsnade Zoo today as a birthday treat for me. As with every other time of visiting Whipsnade we had the best day. Today was great as it was quieter and the weather was amazing also. We got to see nearly all the animals and the staff were lovely. BIG shout out to the volunteer staff!! We had some great conversations with various volunteers. The food was very good and a simple but effective menu caters for all. The gift shop is great and not overly pricey. Thoroughly enjoyed today. Thank you to all the staff at the zoo!!

Beautiful on the outside and inside, very historic and a place a calm reflection to wander round. Free entry but lots of places where you can donate via tapping your card. Very friendly staff inside who recommended the parts of the cathedral to make sure we didn’t miss!

Such a lovely place. So much to do, the big walk around the entire lake is huge, though there are lots of little walks too including lots ofr the kids to do and lots of hides to see the wildlife. Lots of parking too

Our first visit to the Harry Potter Studios in London was truly magical! The staff were so friendly and everyone wished my little girl a happy birthday after noticing her badge from the information desk, which made the day extra special. The sets, costumes, creatures, models, and special effects were absolutely incredible. The information throughout was fascinating, and the memorial to one of the artists who passed away was a beautiful and heartfelt touch. You can really feel the spirit of the films here with the dedication, creativity, and family bond between the cast, crew, and production team shines through every display. The shops, café, and food were fantastic too!We travelled three and a half hours to visit, and it was completely worth it. A wonderful, magical experience we’ll never forget! ✨

Amazing! This was one of my favorite tours while in london. We bought our tickets which cost about $48. Place was packed. There is a cafe and a small gift shop inside, bathrooms of course. I would plan on spending at least 2 hours here if not 3. And then of course there's the crown jewels that speak for themselves. So much history here and so much to see I loved everything about this!

Fantastic exhibition of all creatures great and small. From elephants to beetles and moths. Our children loved the creatures and found some new ones they'd never heard of that they are now obsessed with (Japanese spider crabs being a new fave). All the exhibitions are well marked and maintained. The staff were fantastic. Worksheets are available for £1. When you take into account a recommended donation of £6 this is a top family day out for less than £10. The nearby cafe is nice and reasonable prices.if you head over to Tring Park while here you can easily spend 3-4 hours here.

Tower Bridge is absolutely stunning! One of the best spots to visit in London — the views of the River Thames are amazing. The exhibition is interesting and gives a good idea of how the bridge works. Everything was clean and well-managed. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in London!

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. We only had very limited time in London but this was somewhere we wanted to visit as we wanted to keep our costs low. The museum is free to enter but donations are welcomed. Firstly, the place is enormous. Various exhibitions are available with literally hundreds of things to look at, probably even thousands. It goes without saying that the place is very popular and often very busy so if you don't like crowds, do some research about your visit before you go. We spent a lot of time looking at the Egyptian exhibitions as my wife is very interested in that particular part of history but we did also wander around the Greek, Roman and middle Eastern parts as well. Both of us agreed that we would come back to visit but would definitely spend a whole day there as we felt rushed. There are places to grab a drink and a snack inside the museum as well, which is very welcome. It is worth noting that while backpacks are allowed, luggage is not. The shops nearby do offer a luggage storage solution.

We had so much fun here! It’s not just wax figures; the Star Wars and Marvel sections are amazing, and the 4D cinema was a great bonus. The 'Spirit of London' taxi ride was a total surprise and really enjoyable. Great for selfies and a good laugh. Definitely book online to save money!

A beautiful and inspiring place. The collection is world-class — from Renaissance masters to Impressionists — and it’s amazing that entry is free. The galleries are spacious and well organized, with helpful information about each painting. I also appreciated the quiet spots where you can just sit and enjoy the art. It can get busy in popular rooms, but overall it’s an unforgettable visit for any art lover.

The London Eye is one of those iconic experiences that truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you step into the capsule, you can feel the excitement building — and as it slowly rises above the Thames, the city unfolds beneath you in a breathtaking panorama. The views are spectacular, especially on a clear day. You can see all of London’s major landmarks — Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and even as far as The Shard and Tower Bridge. Watching the city from above gives you a whole new appreciation for its beauty and scale. The ride itself is smooth and quiet, taking about 30 minutes, which gives you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. The capsules are clean, comfortable, and spacious, with just the right number of people inside to move around freely. The staff are friendly and organized, keeping everything running efficiently even when it’s busy. Tickets are easy to book online, and the whole experience feels well-managed from start to finish. Whether it’s your first time in London or your tenth, the London Eye is something you should do at least once — a stunning and memorable way to see the city from a new perspective.

Big Ben Tour – Inside the Elizabeth Tower Visiting the Elizabeth Tower might just be one of the best things you can do in London. Getting tickets, however, is the real challenge — plan ahead and try to book about six months in advance, checking the website regularly. No photos are allowed inside, which is a bit of a shame, but completely understandable. The climb is 334 steps up a narrow spiral staircase with just a simple metal railing, so this is not an experience for those with mobility issues or severe fear of heights. The first stretch is about 110 steps, with the rest broken into slightly shorter climbs and two rest stops along the way. Windows are few and far between, so you won’t have many chances to look outside during the climb. At the top, you’ll visit the belfry and see the Great Bell — Big Ben itself — up close. You’ll be there as the clock strikes the hour, with protective ear coverings provided to save your hearing from the thunderous chimes. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at the clock mechanism and stand behind the famous clock faces before beginning the descent, which is once again split into sections with rest stops. Lockers are provided for your belongings, as nothing may be carried with you, and open-toed shoes are not allowed. The guides are fantastic — full of history, fun facts, and fascinating details about the tower and its clock. In the end, this is an unforgettable tour: fun, educational, a little bit challenging, and absolutely worth every step.

The building, first listed as Grade II in 1970, was upgraded to Grade I in 2011. In 2013, it was announced that 55 Broadway would be converted into luxury apartments, once London Underground moved operations from the building in 2015 to their new headquarters in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London. In May 2014, it was announced that the architects, TateHindle, would lead the redevelopment and, in June 2015, planning permission and listed building consent was granted: however, this was not implemented and the planning permission expired in June 2018. In September 2019, a long-term lease of the property was sold by Transport for London for £120 million to Integrity International Group, founded by Tony Matharu. In May 2020, it was announced that Blue Orchid Hotels, a subsidiary of Integrity International, would convert the structure into a luxury hotel. (Wiki) Let's hope they don't change much of its beauty..

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited. It’s a celebration of art, design, and human creativity from across the world. The building itself is stunning, and every gallery feels thoughtfully arranged. You can easily spend hours exploring everything from fashion and textiles to sculpture, jewellery, photography, and furniture. One of the highlights is the fashion collection, which shows how style has evolved over centuries. The sculpture galleries are equally captivating, with pieces from ancient times to modern artists. The museum does an excellent job of combining history with contemporary design, making it both educational and inspiring. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the museum is well signposted, which helps when navigating such a large space. Entry is free, though some special exhibitions require tickets. The café and gift shop are also worth visiting for a quick break or a unique souvenir. Overall, the Victoria and Albert Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in art, culture, or history. It’s a place that sparks curiosity and appreciation for creativity in all its forms a true gem in the heart of London.

I have such fond memories of the Natural History Museum from school trips and visits over the years. I’ve been several times as an adult too, with friends, family, and visitors to London, it’s always a wonderful experience. The main attraction is, of course, the incredible dinosaur displays, which never fail to impress. There’s so much to see and do, from fascinating exhibits to a beautiful garden outside that’s well worth exploring. Entry is free, and there are plenty of cafés and places to eat and drink inside. I’d definitely say this is a must visit for anyone coming to London, especially if you have children who love dinosaurs, it’s truly amazing.

Fantastic Helicopter Experience with Pilot Tom Hall! What an unforgettable flight! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely fantastic. We flew in the R22, and everything went smoothly. A big part of what made the flight so enjoyable was our pilot, Tom Hall. He was outstanding — his knowledge, skill, and calm confidence really put us at ease. It was clear from the get-go that we were in expert hands. Tom took the time to explain everything clearly, and his passion for flying really came through. The views were incredible, and thanks to Tom’s commentary and steady flying, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. Highly recommend this experience — and if you get the chance to fly with Tom, you’re in for a treat!

This place is a complete bundle of joy for the whole family - the extreme close encounters at the animal barns to start with, massive adventure playground and sand play areas, go karts, golf park and to top it all - a giant soft play well curated for the little senses, this place had got something to offer for everyone. A must visit for the whole family attending throughout the year. We visited them at the family Pumpkin Nights festival and it had so much fun to offer - marshmallow toasting, access to the entire park exclusively at the evening, lights and glow events at the show barn and silent disco. It was overall an unforgettable experience and extremely hard for little to leave the place after such fun hours of play and entertainment

Day trip to Cliveden to visit the gardens and enjoy a long walk through the woods and by the Thames with a friend. Saw lots of nature - red kites, deer, goslings, ducklings and a cormorant. Had a lovely rhubarb and rosemary scone at the Conservatory Cafe and loved the water gardens. Spent the whole day and still didn’t manage to see everything. The house wasn’t open to the public when we visited as it’s a hotel - would recommend checking National Trust website before visiting if you want to go inside. It’s very hilly climbing back to the house from the riverside but worth it for all the views.

This is a beautifully picturesque and outstanding WWT Reserve near Arundel with a host of things to see and do including Wetland Discovery Boat Safari, Wildlife Hides, Wetland Secrets House, Waterside Walk, Pelican Cove, Coastal Creek Aviary and Reedbed Boardwalk. The Wetland Discovery Boat Safari is an absolutely fantastic and beautiful peaceful ride on a boat through one of the many waterways at the reserve and these boat rides cost an extra £3 per person on top of the base admission fee into the reserve, which is extremely reasonable and during the boat rides you can admire the beautiful waterways of the reserve and also see wildlife such as Mute Swans, Pike and Mallard Ducks and there is a great narration from the boatman on what wildlife there is to see. The boat safaris run at various times intervals throughout the day and information is available at the reception with regard this. The boat safari is a lovely wonderful relaxing experience. There are great some walks around the reserve where you can admire some fantastic picturesque views of the reserve and the local area and during your walk around the reserve you can wander into the various hides such as the Lapwing hide and Sandmartin hide where you can catch a great glimpse of the ponds but also see Sandmartins, Canada Geese, Tufted Ducks and Pochards. There is a Duckery where you can see some further Wetland Birds including Emperor Geese, Hawaian Geese, Swan Ducks and Mandarin Ducks which look in great condition and well looked after. There is the Pelican Cove where you can see Dalmatian Pelicans which look wonderfully imposing and look amazing on the eye and there is talk and feed of the Pelicans where you can learn further interesting facts about them and also seeing them being fed is a great sight to see. The Wetland Secret Plant House you can see and smell some Wildflowers that are on display in there and it gives off a great wild aroma. In the Coastal Creek Aviary you can see Eider Ducks which are great to see. There is a pond dipping area which is great for little ones to look for insects and understand nature. There is other areas to mention such as the Wildlife Garden with great plant life to see. There is a cafe on site selling a great variety of refreshments at reasonable prices and there is a nice gift shop selling a variety of souvenirs at reasonable prices. Overall this is an absolute amazing and a thoroughly outstanding place to visit, which makes for a pleasant and relaxing day out. Definitely well worth a visit whilst in Arundel.

We really enjoyed our visit. So much better that we thought it would be. We visited all parts and needed five hours to do so. The castle is stunning to see close up. The interior is vast. The gardens excellent. All very well maintained. Unlike National Trust properties all the guides are paid, not volunteers. They know the history well. The views across the countryside from the battlements and lovely. I recommend visiting. It is worth every penny of the entrance fee.

Loved our visit here. So much history to re discover, everything well displayed, the friendliest of staff and the churchyard visit afterwards to see both German and British soldiers laid to rest at St Andrew's Church was the perfect ending to our visit. The only negative comment l have, is that I wish they had a better gift shop. I wanted to buy good quality items that were befitting my visit, but sadly apart from mugs and tea shirts and toys for little visitors, l left empty-handed which was a shame. It's definitely worth a visit though, if you want to see a well looked after and cared for museum with lots of artifacts.

We saw the last performance of Top Hat on Saturday and what an amazing performance it was too! Totally faultless and witty to the end. Everything dance was so very precise. Outstanding! Thank you. Chichester is my family home and I have been coming to the theatre since a young girl. Wonderful theatre!

Location- Great location, easy access from the A27 with lots of parking surrounding. (You get parking free with admission to the farm) Farm animals- A lot of range for the animals and a great experience when getting to feed various ones. Well maintained and lovely staff members on hand. Lots of hand washing facilities and I love that they have sign language on their signs. Accessible for wheelchair users. Cafe on site is great with lots of seating and a good selection of sweet treats and sandwiches. Playpark outside and play den inside for Children which is perfect too. There is a lot of greenery to enjoy, as well as the maze and the glasshouse which is unique and a very nice touch.
