Lovely morning, great place lots of trains. Disappointed not to go in a steam train but still an enjoyable experience. Highlight was seeing Thomas The Tank Engine and meeting Paddington! Definitely recommend.

We had a lovely journey on the diesel train, just a bit disappointed it was not a steam train, this was due to the hot weather.

My friend and I went on this trip. It was a beautiful sunny day which added to the fun. Paddington Bear was visiting the station and young and old got their photos taken with him. Lovely day. We had booked into the Bull Hotel in Peterborough which provided us with our afternoon tea as part of our gift. We stayed at the hotel for one night. All the staff from the train ride and the hotel were lovely, friendly and professional. Thank you to them all.

We enjoyed our stay and service and breakfast was very good. The afternoon we arrived there was live music in the grounds and it made for a very relaxing afternoon. There was lots to see and do in the surrounding areas. We will return at some point. Thanks.

From booking the day from the voucher was straight forward. The venue was easy to find, Car park was enormous, station and platforms nicely reflect the era. Everything ran to time with plenty to look at and enjoy. Had to pay an extra £2 for our dog but that's reasonable compared to similar places. We 'all day' tickets so could ride for as long as we wanted. We really enjoyed our day, would love to come again another time.

This was our first visit to Harwich and we were pleasantly surprised. Loved the history and thoroughly enjoyed walks and visits, eating out etc. Hotel was very friendly and food was good. Accommodation a little tired but new people working hard to make us welcome. Lovely crisp white sheets. Towels refreshed on our second day. Tea, coffee, bottled water etc in room. Our room was large, with sofa, TV very comfortable. Location great. Beer garden.

Stayed at ivy house in Dolgelluau Wales 🏴 the short break was supposed to be an overnight stay and steam train experience, the issue was that after we made the booking at the B&B there wasn’t a train experience in easy reach that was operational at the time, so we just paid for an extra night at the B&B and explored the area, the Ivy house B&B is popular with walkers and bike riders and I found the rooms comfortable although a bit tired but the breakfast was absolutely excellent, I could see parking being a problem although I was lucky I found a spot nearby. I suggest that these activity breaks are ok if the the overnight stays and the activity could be booked together because I found it difficult to find the train experience near the B&B which was actually operational

Could not fault this accommodation. Our room was lovely with a huge comfortable bed and a good size bathroom (with bath & shower). The food at the bar was super we ate there both nights. The portions were so generous that we were unable to have breakfast in the morning as still full. It also had a nice courtyard where we had a drink and lunch when we arrived and had a glass of wine after dinner. We didn’t take a car but enjoyed walking and discovering Dovercourt and we also took the bus to Clacton. Plenty of accessible places by public transport.
