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?

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.

There let you book this room for 60 or 90 minutes, but the default is 60 minutes and you have to call or email to book the longer slot. The room is basically impossible in 60 minutes, with an escape rate less than 5%. This feels unfair and pretty unfun, and if you are going to make the room that difficult, that should at least be explained up front. It honestly feels almost like a trick to force people to do the room multiple times. There are also multiple puzzles that are intentionally frustrating, trick you into wasting time trying to solve them the wrong way, or purposely unreliable in a way that detracts from the experience.

I reeeeeeeally wanted to love this room as we'd waiting for ages and heard great things. Unfortunately it left us a little cold, and not because we didn't escape. The backstory is fantastic and as you'd expect from Tulleys, the set and theme is brilliant too. I couldn't get into the puzzle flow and some didn't make sense to me, but I imagine that is just me - please don't let this deter you! It's creepy but not too spooky, family friendly with older kids.

Our second room at Tulleys and previously known as one of the hardest escape rooms in the UK we knew what we were getting ourselves into. Tulleys offer this experience as both a 60 minute and 90 minute escape. I'd advise the 90 minute version as the shear amount of puzzles in this multi floor escape game made it understandable as to why this game is notoriously difficult. This game offered a multitude of puzzle types with a larger overarching puzzle! This game is certainly more on the spooky side with some minor jumps and atmospheric tension but I would not class the game as scary. The set design again is to the high standard that Tulleys always has, felt fully immersed in the set and wondered what lurked around every corner. Can never go wrong with any of the rooms at Tulleys! Difficulty - 4.5 / 5 Puzzles - 4 / 5 Theming - 4.5 / 5 Set Design - 5 / 5 Enjoyment - 4.5 / 5 Value For Money - 4 / 5

Huge room with loads and loads of puzzles. Lots of variety and types of puzzles too. This is a must do.

Absolutely adored everything about this room! Definitely recommend going for the 90 minutes over the 60 minutes, because you really don’t want to run out of time and miss any part of this experience! Even with 8 of us we all contributed to escaping, the puzzles and atmosphere were fantastic and it’s my favourite one I’ve done at Tulley’s so far!

So so much to like about this escape room, fantastic set. BUT left feeling really dissatisfied - when we visited the business model seemed to be to give 60 minutes for what should probably be a 90 minute room - to offer only limited hints and then try to sell you the room again (with a discount) to try to complete it the second (or third…) time round. The more I think back about this the more I dislike it
