Wine and beer tasting

We were very impressed. Our tour guide was amazing he gave us complete insight to how wine and beer are manufactured. Highly recommend this tour. The people we met were very friendly. You tour again also stay on site overnight if we did this tour again we probably would. Sorry no photos.

Relaxing spa break

Thoroughly enjoyed this spa break. The hotel was beautiful and our room was spacious. Had the facial which was great and really loved the relaxation room. The staff were friendly and helpful and the three course dinner that was included had lots of delicious options. Will definitely be booking again.

Great day out

The day out was great in all respects. But we had been given a gift and could choose anything up to the gift price. We knew we had to buy the experience before Sunday, but thought, due to all the BuyaGift pages saying, 'valid for a year', that once noted it was valid for a year. No. The experience had to be taken by the expiry date too and that's not made clear enough. Luckily we had decided to do it now so did not lose out. It costs £20 to extend the voucher. So I'd say, don't bother with an open voucher that can be used for anything, get the experience itself. Added to which, I was emailed a load of cheaper offers for the same experience but couldn't use them as I had been given a gift voucher. It was all a bit frustrating, but the day out, seeing the animals and tea were great.

Best girls trip

We had booked a couple of months in advance but from the minute we arrived we knew it was going to be a fantastic day! We used the relaxation rooms (divine!), the swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. All were spotless and clean. The staff were friendly yet professional and the dressing gown super fluffy. The highlights were the facial which was just the most relaxing one I have ever had and the dinner. Dinner itself was so yummy. No small portions here, we left feeling full and content. I had the chicken and caramel apple slice - both highly recommended. A great spa day overall!!

Wonderful trade-off

We were originally gifted a voucher for a cream tea, but there was no venue nearby which we fancied, so we swapped it for a Vaasu experience - and it was fabulous. The food is exquisite and the service impeccable....and the great man himself was in the kitchen that day, so we felt very lucky. Excellent value, and the customer service we got when swapping the voucher was excellent.

Superb day out with excellent afternoon tea

Buy a Gift were easy to deal with. But booking RHS Wisley is a complicated, multi layered, not customer friendly, ridiculous outsourced operation. The actual place, especially the staff, is exceptional so worth the effort but why so long winded. Great visit, great afternoon tea, great parking, great staff, lousy booking system.
