Merlins Cave - (Near Buckinghamshire, South East)

J Kirkham Booked an overnight stay with the Ivy due to meetings in the area. Brilliant stay from start to finish. Staff were superb - I didn’t arrive until around 8ish in the evening. Room was spotless and comfortable bed and slept very well. Staff were super friendly, welcoming and very helpful and attentive. The food was superb I had dinner and breakfast with them on my arrival. The fish pie was excellent quality. Great stay from start to finish Would very happily stay again! 10/10

David Billings We were kindly gifted this experience. Finding it was easy but the taxi driver drove straight past and we had to tell him to turn around. Its magical walking up into the area trees on each side. Its very natural ans rustic and charming. Small details all around add to the atmosphere. We had 3 complementary gin and tonics each! And got a bit merry. And the canapes were yummy..we stood in the right place as was offered loads and even had to resuse in the end as would have been full. Tables were beautifully decorated. And separated around the area. We had hoped to sit under the main tent but was directed to our allocated table with others. There are games dotted around to interact with if you want. We met a lovely couple and had a great evening. Some on our table did not interact as much but everyones experience is different I guess. The place became alive when it became darker with twinkly lights everywhere. Even the toilet was full of candles and lights. If you want to buy any more drinks they are expensive just be preparred. The food was good serves on wooden plates, and wooden cutlery, and more of a shared style of passing the food around the table. The evening was followed by marshmallow toasting and tea which we missed as was enjoying the prosecco too much. Think we were the last ones to leave...had so much fun with pictures on the giant deckchair at the end. Luckily we had fantastic weather but can imagine a very different experience if raining.

Pinal (PKP) Wow the chicken bao buns were fantastic and full of flavour- best I’ve had. Pad Thai and Nasi dishes were amazing. To top it off the food was hot on arrival so thumps up for great overall experience!!

Oana Harrison Really the best Indian we’ve had! Highly recommend their South Indian garlic chicken. Really lovely staff too, always super kind and polite! A little gem in our village.
