The old manor house is entwined with local legend, the living don’t remember the Nethercott’s, the family’s hay day was long ago. Local folk talked, whispers were heard, rumours began, lights were seen within. The Nethercott’s are long gone but something remains, an essence, a smell, a feeling, it’s in the fabric, in the walls, under the floor boards … it ticks, it creeks … take a trip into the past, uncover the family’s many secrets and glimpse their fleeting souls?

A challenging room. We'll worth it's expert rating. We had 6 and didn't finish in 60 mins so I would recommend 90 or a very experienced team if you want the challenge

Disclaimer: I played this room solo. It is their only room that can physically be done solo, but I booked a 90 minute session since I was alone. I had a lot of fun. It is beautifully decorated, with lights and sounds to match (but if you are a picky person, some cables were visible, twist ties, etc. but this doesn’t bother me). And there are so many rooms. I would think I was getting close to the end, and another room would appear. The puzzles were great for the most part. There are a couple tedious ones, but I understand it is designed for larger groups. So everyone can have his or her puzzle to work on. It is not a horror room, but there are some jump scares build in through different mechanisms. I would assume most of these could be removed or greatly modified if you request in advance.

If you are traveling from London by train, there are plenty of taxis at the Three Bridges station. To return, they have a taxi pickup point, with the phone number for the location taxi. I waited about 10 minutes after calling, and the taxi arrived.

Amazing experience with this escape room, definitely book the longer 90 minutes experience so you can stand the best chance of winning! Also there are lots of fun elements we would have missed if we hadn't booked the longer experience. The GM was brilliant, the theme is very well executed. Definitely spooky and not for the extremely faint of heart, but nothing especially horror-y, more just jump scares and spooky elements. And no live actors :)

I usually play escape rooms as a two and we’ve always managed fine, but this one just felt a bit overloaded for a duo, even with 90 minutes. The set was great- big, detailed, and really immersive- and the puzzles themselves weren’t too tough, just too many to get through smoothly. At times the flow between puzzles wasn’t clear, so we ended up a bit lost on what to do next. I’d say this room is much better suited to a group of 4. Still, it was fun overall with a nice mix of puzzles, and the girl running our room was excellent—she really made the experience better.

Excellent room. Essential 90 min due to volume of work, not necessarily difficulty. Scares were fun. Great theming. Nice mix of puzzles

It was a game I had heard a lot about before playing but I really didn’t enjoy this room. The puzzles felt really clunky and the scares in the game really hampered our ability to progress. I think in general it was just not a game flow I gelled well with, I’ve played other games here that are great but I wouldn’t recommend this. It also wasn’t helped by the host wouldn’t walk us through the rest of the game when we lost. Instead we were offered 50% off to come back, even though we’d completed 75% of the game?! We’re not locals so that wasn’t an option and it meant the game we had already found frustrating we got no closure from.
It started off fairly well and then the main issue came in later on in the game. The puzzles and scares just made for a challenge that didn’t work well for our group.
The design of the space is actually really great despite the game play being lack luster.

The story of the game was pretty clear and the puzzles supported that.

Large well themed set with tonnes to do. They should absolutely should be made clear that you should book the 90 minute room worth of content for most groups - we failed after 60 minutes frustrated at the lack of help from the GM. We would have booked a 90 minute slot if this was made clearer on the website (it's a small bit of text that you should email them to request a 90 minute booking) - I don't think rebooking to replay the room is something most people want to do but it felt like they'd almost designed it this way.

Tulleys described it as Scoby Doo horror and I think that was the perfect synopsis of the room, very eerie and designed to make you jump, but there are no live actors and it is not a horror room. If you call ahead you can book a 90 minute slot, and I would say that is essential. The room is far to big to complete in 60 minutes, even for experienced escapers. And 90 minutes gave us enough time to enjoy the game, and I am glad as it is one of the best we have done.
So many puzzles, and I think we counted a total of 6 rooms within.
Our GM Ellie made the experience as the sarcastic whispering ghost. It was just creepy enough for a wimp like me.
Ellie our GM was fantastic, made us laugh throughout, so interactive and adapting to us as players

Best haunted house escape room we have done
Really well integrated story, and as the GM was in charge of the spooky effects in their office it added to the story brilliantly.

Tulley’s expertise shines through in rooms like this. They take a theme that has been done quite a lot in escape rooms but blow the competition out of the water. In each room including this you get more than you bargained for. The set designs are brilliant, the use of sound and lighting comportments the environment and the use of the space they have is second to none.

It does have elements to make you jump but nothing to be concerned about. Fellow scaredy-cats I promise you’ll be fine!

There were a few things that killed the experience for us. The room can be booked as a 90 minute room or 60 minute room. It’s the same room and only 5% of people escape in 60 minutes. I wish we had known it’s basically impossible to do in 60 minutes. Felt like just a trap to get you to return and spend more. We booked the 60 minute room without knowing you could book 90 minutes. The puzzles aren’t compelling enough to want to return. The idea for some puzzles were cool, but failed on execution. Set was awesome. Though there’s constant jump scares the keep triggering over and over.
