I had a wonderful time experiencing the fun that was on offer at The Clockwork Hotel. We went for our friend's 40th. With the arrival starting with a glass of bubbly, then the escape room (it was across the hotel from top floor to the basement). The games were well thought out, fun and they definitely got our minds working. Then drinks at the bar, followed by some delicious food and more drinks. The evening was amazing and to have the entire place to ourselves made it even better. The staff were fantastic and great at making the experience perfect and memorable. I highly recommend this unique experience and hope you have as much fun as we did
We had the most amazing stay at the Clockwork hotel! The hosts were incredible, especially Millie, who made sure that our every need was attended to. The whole experience was so fun and made the weekend even more special! We will all be looking to return soo enough!
We had an absolutely amazing night at The Clockwork Hotel. The host was fantastic and made it fun and cared for all our needs. The escape room challenges were varied and imaginative. The hotel itself is clean, well maintained, and had great communal areas. The rooms were clean spacious and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub is great and a brilliant bonus. The food was excellent! Each course was well presented and tasted delicious. The entire experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend!
An absolutely awesome weekend! The concept is great, the hotel is super stylish and the staff were amazing. I booked this experience and overnight stay for my husbands 40th Birthday party and a group of 22 (plus a few extra evening guests) had the best time! The whole experience, from booking, to personalised cocktail menus and the event itself, has been flawless. The staff (Big John, Paige and Shaun) were fantastic. Highly recommend
We stayed here for my hen do and it was so much fun! The games were interesting and different and the staff do help you when really needed. Food, drink and decorations set up by out of office were great. All the staff were lovely and helpful too We had quite hot weather so maybe having fans in the rooms instead of in the hallway would have been a good idea. Only thing I would change is to be able to come and start the games earlier, allowing you more time to enjoy the venue We will definitely be back!
We stayed here for a 30th birthday party, we honestly had the best time.. The whole stay was perfect from start to finish, "Big John" and his friendly team made us feel so welcome, they made sure we was always topped up with drink, and the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend
I had an amazing time at Clockwork Hotel! The games experience was so much fun and so cleverly thought out. The highlight was definitely the delicious 3-course dinner, which was a real treat. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I had the best time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!
I booked this place for my sister's hen do and I'm so glad I did! From start to finish, the staff made it so enjoyable and it was so much fun. The puzzles and games as part of the 'escape' were creative and just hard enough that we were able to do it with a little help from the staff. The hotel itself is perfect for big groups and the rooms were great- comfortable beds etc. Also the food was insane!! Overall very pleased and definitely worth the money and travel (it was 3 hours drive for us but worth it!). The only thing I'd say is I would've liked some more info about what safety once the staff leave for the night as I did wake up at 4:30am worried that the place wasn't secure. We were absolutely fine of course but just some more communication on this would've been handy.
