Aleksandra helped us craft a picture perfect trip to the UK countryside. From the earliest planning phases, she listened to understand the experience we wanted and created a customized itinerary that ticked every box.
We started and ended our trip in London, and while we enjoyed the city's bustle, our focus was the countryside.
We began in Castle Combe at The Manor House. Aleksandra planned a memorable afternoon tea - one of the trip's absolute highlights. The grounds were beautiful and staff incredibly kind.
Aleksandra arranged a day trip led by Matthias at Galahad Tours. We visited picturesque villages and appreciated the historical context from Matthias. We'll recommend his company to every friend visiting the Cotswolds. Other highlights included Hidcote Gardens and Warwick Castle. We explored public footpaths and encountered local sheep - magical.
We visited Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall in West Yorkshire, chatting with locals in pubs. In York, we absorbed the city's rich history. Aleksandra arranged another tour through the Yorkshire Dales with driver Rob, who proudly showcased his beloved region. Highlights included Bolton Castle (a must!) and the town where they film All Creatures Great and Small - during filming day!
Aleksandra's thoughtful planning made us feel cared for throughout the journey. I highly recommend working with her and booking her private transfers between locations, which made the trip more relaxing and enjoyable.
We will most definitely be back. Thanks, Aleksandra!
Hotel Review
This place is an absolute must visit. With every creak of the historical floorboards, to the beautiful grounds and rooms, we felt like we’d taken a trip back in time. The proximity to the Castle Combe village is ideal, and the staff is intuitive and kind. Be sure to book afternoon tea while you’re here, and enjoy a few meals on-site. I left wishing I could just move all of my belongings in and take up residence. This place was magical, and a real trip highlight.
