Only a short stay but most enjoyable. Room was good, food was good and service was good. It was part of a deal which included a steam train ride which wasn't so good as some of the other rides listed were no longer available as part of the Activity Superstore deal!!

We had a truly wonderful experience at the Nene Valley Steam Railway. We were lucky enough to go on the Thomas train, and our grandchildren were absolutely thrilled and excited from start to finish. We then travelled on a diesel train, which made the day even more special. The history throughout the railway was extremely impressive, and the preservation work is absolutely amazing. The knowledge and dedication of all the volunteers really stood out and added so much to the experience. Everyone was incredibly caring, friendly and helpful throughout the day, and nothing felt too much trouble. It was so much fun for all ages — our group ranged from 2 years old to 80 years old, and there was truly something for everyone. We especially loved the model steam trains, which added even more enjoyment to the day. The whole atmosphere was magical, welcoming and very well organised, creating such lovely family memories together. We would most definitely go back again and would truly recommend this experience to everyone.

Sadly the steam train was out of action on the day of our experience. They provided a diesel train as an alternative with old fashioned coaches and that was very comfortable. The afternoon tea was very enjoyable and excellent quality. A good day was had by all.
