“Absolutely gorgeous place, even better than I expected, we couldn't get out heads around the fact we were in a cave! We went for my partners birthday and she couldn't believe it when we arrived and she loved it so much. Thanks to their chillier nature we got to make lots of happy memories using the log burners (took us a few attemps but we managed). I never imagined being so excited to run outside to watch the smoke coming out the chimney! Amazing dinners over the fire pit, Marshmallows in the evenings etc, everything taste better when made on a fire! Greeting the cows in the morning, following squirrels with our torch at night, I even saw a deer on top of the cave whilst making dinner at the gas bbq! Whilst there is no wifi I had a solid 5G on EE outdoors, although there was minimal coverage on O2, but who cares WE WERE IN A CAVE, there was so much to do I didn't need my phone. We felt the shower is quite low pressure due to the shower head, feels absolute bliss but would take forever to wash your hair in so ladies being the dry shampoo. But again you're in a shower IN A CAVE. Lots of things to do just a short drive away. We spent the first night just taking in our surroundings and the next at Avoncroft Museum (highly recommended) with a stop at a farm shop on the way to get more bbq treats. The last day we took a trip up to Birmingham for the sealife centre on the way home. I strongly recommend not planning too many activities because there is so much to do at the cave you don't want to miss out! The track leading up to the retreat was both terrifying and so much fun, I can certainly see why certain cars aren't suitable but luckily ours managed no problem. It seems to be a theme to leave a personalised rock on the premise so we rushed to the supermarket for some pens to make sure ours was the best. We can't stop telling all our friends about this experience, it was truely worth every penny and more. You've set a new standard for our trips away now, cave holidays are the way forward! Truely magical, will be coming back in the future for sure. Thank you Angelo for an amazing time!”
