Rated between 3 and 3 out of 5

I really didn't like the host here, he totally rubbed us up the wrong way, and I wouldn't ever do another room with him in charge. 

That aside, I honestly thought this room was a bit overpriced and overrated.  

It's a surprisingly small space, they advertise it for up to 8 people, but that would be extremely cramped, especially the first section.  

Some of the similar rated rooms within an hour drive of here (E.g. Macclesfield and Wakefield) I thought were so much better (and much cheaper!) than this. 

Maybe it suffered from high expectations, but I just don't see this being in such an elevated position in the U.K. rankings. 

Maybe there is an argument for rating Escape Rooms out of ten rather than five?
