The Courtyard, a converted barn in Gladestry, Wales - We booked 7 nights in this lovely converted barn in Gladestry, Wales. Our host Michael was most welcoming and hospitable. As the access was somewhat narrow - to get to the barn, we were assisted by using the main house as entry point. Once settled in and after the clear guided tour from Michael, who runs the property himself as his wife's health prevents her from participating in this venture, we made ourselves at home and planned the days while in this quaint area. The house had all the comforts including a washing machine. The double bed was very comfortable with a new mattress recently having been purchased. The kitchen had all we needed to cook our meals. A broken can opener ( why don't people tell landlords things need replacing?) was immediately replaced as was the spatula which someone obviously either broke or waylaid! Seeing flashes the last night we were at the location, we noticed the fire alarm battery was low power - this was to be addressed - Michael would alert someone to help replace the battery. I read some of the revies on Sykes Cottages where the main booking takes place. People complained about spiderwebs. Golly gosh. Well, I used the wee handbroom to clean some away. Small price to pay fro staying in such a lovely accommodation. Michael invited us to the local Cancer Fundraiser in the hall. Lovely to meet the local people of Gladestry and surrounding area. We als ate dinner in the local pub on our past evening. Well worth the effort. Lovely publican and wife and a great meal. We chose the spot strategically - for the places we wanted to visit and we'd stay here again. Great host and fabulous area.

Varied walk with a challenge - Discovered special almshouses that you would normally have passed by. Varied walk with fun riddle that makes your brain crack.

A nice way to take a city walk. - This was our third outside escape. Meanwhile, we become more agile in the riddles but also in searching for the extra assignments. What I liked about this escape was that there was no time involved. This also allowed us to stop for a drink in between. Another nice part of a city where you would not otherwise come soon. Now let's see what's next.

Recommended! - Very nice outing for a family or colleagues. Highly recommended. Will definitely do it again in another city. In The Hague, the hofjes route is highly recommended.

Discover nice streets and good riddles - Fun riddles along the way on an interesting city walk. Walking in spots, getting to know beautiful old streets, which you otherwise had no idea about. Highly recommended!

Super fun Escape Tour - Nice escape route, without time pressure. Also very handy that you can activate the route on multiple phones. You'll get to places you wouldn't see otherwise!

The Hague courtyards - Super nice, so I went to places in my own city where I had never been. The riddles are doable.

Nice treasure hunt, but missed the thinkers - It was fun, but we expected more challenge in the puzzles, after all we had chosen the difficult variant. We missed the thinkers. In addition, in our opinion, more could have been done with the courtyard theme. Start easily accessible from both Den Haaf HS and CS.

Nice but takes longer than indicated - Takes longer than stated in description. The km you travel are more than indicated. The puzzles are fun but difficult (some) so that an assignment can take a long time. It is not recommended if younger children come along because it will be of little use to them. The environment you see is very nice, so in terms of activity it is fun to do, but you need more time than indicated.

Terrible - The worst escape tour ever ! Don’t fall for this scam. While the description states that you will see exiting spots in the city while solving interesting riddles, it’s the opposite, the riddles and the story are boring and their description lacks detail. Not worth the money.
