A "hole" new experience !! - First time experiencing an escape room and it was really enjoyable, we did the hole which is in the dark. We didn't escape this time but had a lot of fun trying. We will definitely be back soon to try the other escape room that they have. You also get to go around the prison which is really interesting. Definitely a good day out and worth the money.

Well worth a visit - Prison guard looking after us was brilliant. Free prison tour was interesting. Escape room was fun but it is a little on the easier side. There is a second escape room, prison break experience and a ghost tour.

Not quite what we were expecting - Booked the Hole escape room after reading the description on the website, we felt it did not match what we were expecting. We thought we were going to be given orange jumpsuits but we weren’t. And then was handcuffed after we went into the cell as the prison officer couldn’t find them. We used our mobile phones for lights as there were no torches. The escape room itself was enjoyable and had we have been given the jumpsuits/handcuffs etc it may have made the experience better. The staff throughout the prison were all brilliant. All very helpful and friendly, our prison officer made us laugh. It’s just a shame we were missing those small elements which would have made all the difference really.

No Staff, Event cancelled.... No Refund. - I had previous booked the ghost hunting experience early this month and I decided to come back as I thought my husband might enjoy an escape challenge, so I booked this event for mine and my husbands valentines gift for the 14th Feb. On the 13th Feb (one day prior) midday, I got a call to say this had been cancelled due to not having enough staff to cover the activity. It was upsetting that this had been cancelled at such short notice around a special occasion, but appreciate that these things happen. I asked for a refund for the £150.00, which should have really been processed during that call. We are now on Saturday 21st Feb. I have had to send multiple chasers with responses such as; we are busy and short staffed it will be processed soon. Refunds usually take 14 days to process - on the basis that it then can take up to 5-7 days to hit the bank, I don't know how a refund takes a business 14 days to process. At this point it is withholding money. I have not asked for anything other than a refund, which I am in my rights to do so!! Our valentine's was ruined, with no apology and now I am struggling to even get a refund of a substantial amount of money. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - still waiting now. Will keep post updated.
