My daughter, Diana and I took the Secret Cottage tour last summer while visiting England.We both feel it is the very best experience we had while visiting the beautiful country.... read more We saw and heard history that was priceless. Every portion of the tour was informative as well planned. I am reading Jane Austin and Adelstop at the present, a book I purchased while there. It comes alive after the visit. Also many British TV shows are filmed there and it helps recall the beauty and significance of the area. The hosts were more than gracious and very knowledgeable. The secret cottage and tea were a great ending to the tour. Please, if you have the opportunity to take this tour, do it. If we ever return to England we will not miss it. Judy and Diana, Montana USA
Everything and more!! - We went on this tour the end of July 2019. I just realized that we didn't leave this review recently, when I was making my book for the trip, (sorry!),... read more but I wanted to leave it anyway, because it was so great!!
We met Robin at the MOM train station. "We" means myself, my husband and my 10 year old son. Our group separated into two vans.
Robin was quite the host! Entertaining, engaging, comical-dry wit, knowledgeable and friendly.
We stopped at points of interest-including historical buildings, churches-(one that had my name btw!), quaint villages, scenic spots-(Lower Slaughter), lovely countryside, farmhouses..... and more!
He made it really special!
The tea and the end of the trip was fabulous, beyond my wildest expectations. I enjoyed seeing the inside of the cottage, talking with the owners and how it would be to live in one currently.
Overall, cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour, and the group that hosts it.
I pushed my husband to go on this tour, and he now agrees it was the highlight of our trip to the Cottswolds.
If you are considering going on this tour, go. You will not be disappointed.
