Full transparency before I gush: I am affiliated with Dreadlock Escape Rooms, who also own Overnight Escapes. HOWEVER, this experience was fully paid for, and this review is 100% honest. If it wasn’t brilliant, I’d say so (and probably cry a little). I’ve now completed over 150 escape rooms, including another overnight escape experience up country, and I can confidently say this is by far our favourite escape experience in the UK. The Lodge itself has been beautifully curated. Homely, cosy, and comfortable in a way that makes you forget you’re technically “at work” solving puzzles. And the master bathroom? Absolutely outrageous. I would happily get trapped in there alone just to spend the weekend in the bath. From the second we stepped through the door, the game was on. Puzzles everywhere. Clever, satisfying, and packed with those glorious “AH-HA!” moments that make you feel like a genius… briefly… before the next puzzle humbles you again. The puzzles are incredibly well thought out, varied, and wonderfully immersive—and I loved that the experience doesn’t keep you confined indoors. We wrapped up warm and explored the park, which is genuinely lovely and adds a whole new dimension to the game. As a disabled person I found the site to be mostly accessible however I am happy to answer specific questions regarding this if needed. As a bonus, you also get access to the site’s facilities, including a quiet pool and gym (if that’s your thing—if not, more puzzle time). We found all £1,000,000 with no clues 🥰 In short: clever puzzles, stunning setting, cosy accommodation, and an experience that completely blew us away. I really hope this won't be their only overnight experience and I hope to see more like this from other owners. Highly, highly recommended.
