“The best way to spend an autumn weekend!”
Stratford is my all time favourite place! Both aspects of the gift were easy to book, find, attend and fit in with everything else to see in the town. The afternoon tea was in a lovely hotel with beautiful grounds and just a 2 minute walk to the river! The service received was perfect, everyone was very polite and accommodating and the food was very tasty. The cruise was beautiful and very worth taking part in. The hosts were also kind and helpful throughout the gorgeous experience.
