“Great day out”
Very helpful staff on phone when booking, prompt start to tour. Excellent guide who knew everything she was talking about and made it really interesting without any crib sheets. Only down side was that there was very little vegan in the restaurant (despite requesting in advance and been assured there would be suitable food). However the restaurant staff were excellent and friendly and did us a jacket potato and salad that was lovely.
