Advantages: no children

Disadvantages: none

We have recently returned from a wonderful Warner's weekend at Cricket St Thomas in Somerset where the TV show "To the Manor Born" was filmed.
I must admit to being a little nervous about this holiday - I was worried we may have booked ourselves into an upmarket version of Butlins, but my fears turned to relief when we arrived.

Warners have built a modern holiday complex (no kids allowed!) which is hidden discretely behind the historic house. Numerous activities were available, from tennis and a gym to croquet on the lawn! Each evening we enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal and then superb caberet entertainment.
Our room was a beautiful "Royale" suite in the main house, complete with four poster bed and jacuzzi. We did, however pay a supplement for this (additional £130 in total for all 3 nights) but it was worth every penny- Its not every night you get the chance to sleep in a 250 year old bedroom! There were photos and scripts from "To the Manor Born" in the library, and they even played the videos for those who were interested.

The standards of service at Cricket St Thomas were impressive. The staff were extemely friendly and helpful. As two schoolteachers in need of a relaxing break, we particularly appreciated the child-free environment!!
Most of the guests were retired, I assume, but there were many couples in their 30's and 40's too.

The weekend break was very good value - less than £200 each (without supplement), which included breakfast, dinner, entertainment and activities. And during peak season too.

If you are looking for a country house holiday with lots of lesuire activities, then Warners "Just for Adults" is for you too.
