Have just returned from a lovely weekend away in the After the Goldrush yert. A really beautiful location even in a cold and damp January. The yert was well equipped with everything that you could possibly need, additional blankets and hot water bottles, fairy lights and candles, logs kindling and matches for the stove. Absolutely loved exploring the grounds and would highly recommend if you were looking for a magical break away.
So my grandad found this place over 40 years ago due to the fishing lakes ever since I can remember we visit here every year(I'm now 25) whether it be staying in the hall or camping, this place is very dear to my heart, beautiful surroundings and always enjoy the walks, log fires and the pub carnt wait for our visit Christmas 2015 cross family
WOW!!!! This place is SO well thought out! There are plenty of alternative accommodation options to have a look at but none are on top of each other. They give you plenty of space and tranquility to relax in private. We stayed in 'after the gold rush' and think we hit gold on our first stay. Everything we needed and more was well thought out, plenty of wood for the log burner, the yurt was well insulated, the paths to the facilities were well thought out and it was perfect!
We fished, rowed in the boats on the pond, walked around the lakes and the arboretum, went for a horse ride around the grounds, ate supper overlooking the pond star gazing and listening to the owls.
This place is probably as perfect as it gets. The little touches all around really make is exceptional!
We had no internet or phone signal in the yurt, and I personally really liked that. We read and chatted until the small hours, enjoying each other's company - our dog chased squirrels and Pheasants until she was knackered :-)
Thank you so much for a breathtaking experience x
Absolutely amazing place to visit. Well worth a see.
Was part of a fantastic wedding reception. So romantic and spot on.
So many friendly people.
Attended a wedding and was taken with the look of the place. The family still live here apparently so rent it out for weddings. Great setting from the hall to the rear courtyard for drinks/dinner. Lots of character but also lots of steps so disabled access probably tricky. Virtually no mobile signal which is probably a good thing. Ground's are stunning.
Attended a wedding here and stayed for the weekend. On arrival (from a distance) it looks quite nice and the grounds are extensive. As we got closer I began to wonder if we were in the right place, everywhere looked run down and there were rusty old cars and vans dumped on the car park. The accommodation inside was in need of a declutter, far too much tat just gathering dust. We experienced a lot of noise from people smoking outside which was inconvenient. The courtyard looked tatty and the plants were half dead, it was grubby and could benefit from a jet wash. The Ballroom was nice, however I was sat by a draughty window which didn't close properly. Overall the place needs a good sprucing up, clear out the tat, repair the broken planters, Windows, walls etc, get rid of the rusty vehicles and give the place a good clean. I wouldn't return if I didn't have to and I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a wedding venue.
