Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We arranged a tour for friends visiting from Calgary Canada. The daughter has played rugby in Canada for many years and her mother is a huge fan of the game. They said that the tour with Julie was the highlight of their trip to the UK. Leaving with huge smiles on their faces and some amazing keepsakes that would be the envy of their friends back home 😉…we want to thank you Julie for such an enjoyable and interesting visit. Your knowledge and passion for the school is incredible and infectious.

    Went to see Fidler on the Roof and I has to say the show was fantastic. The acting was professional class as was the music from the live orchestra. The seats were very comfortable. Also the staff were helpful and courteous and could not do enough for me and my disabled companion in her wheelchair.
    Overall a fantastic experience and I definitely recommend a trip to this theatre and especially to see Fidler on the Roof.

    Enough to keep you entertained for a hour or two and there is a nice relaxed feel with a range of shops, had a good time but the car park is not really family safe with no path ways though the car park and cars just driving even though they are close to hitting you.

    Came to Rugby for the day having a wonder around I came across this park. Lovely place nice play area for children, a band stand nothing playing. Sculpture but they were renewing the path so couldn't get to it. Nice flower gardens and the best bit lots of seating even sat in the sun for awhile reading my book

    I went on a group visit with another heritage group.
    A lot of the items on display were everyday utility items which our recent ancestors would have used. It is important to preserve and show these items because it is a piece of social history showing how we used to live.
    The volunteers made us welcome and were happy to chat with us.

    We love love love Adventure Zone!! It is huge, definitely the best soft play in the area and is always really clean / well maintained. I'm not sure why the last review on here was so negative as we have always found the staff to be extremely helpful and friendly and the food is great value. It would be 5 stars but I was really disappointed to see the use of so many disposable items / single use plastic :( Our cokes came in the non-recyclable wax lined cups with plastic lids and plastic straws. Kids squash came in disposable plastic cups. Kids sandwiches wrapped in clingfilm and kids lunch (plus a cake bought later) given on disposable paper plates. Hoping that management will consider the environmental impact of this amount of waste and look at getting some reusable items, even if that means a bit more washing up for the kitchen!

    Just been Benn hall

    Very small inside so does not matter where you sit you will get a good view

    Not happy certain people decided to stand in front of me in isle so blocked my view ( security did nothing )

    The bar area is small and not enough seats for people to enjoy a drink
