Dear Richard
My day in the Rolls Royce was a dream 65th birthday present. Maybe next time I will be allowed a day in the E-Type! I will let you have some pictures but it will cost you a copy of Loretta's recipe for date and banana cake which I enjoyed so much on our visit
Kind regards
Frank Gibson

Dave enjoyed his day in the E-Type. I know he is aiming towards owning one in a few years' time, once we have somewhere more suitable to keep it, but for now we are having to make do with a silver matchbox car that sits on our hall table as a reminder!
Sophie Holmes

What a lovely weekend we had with you. The accommodation was more than comfortable and the cooked breakfasts were the best and really set us up for the day. Thank you Loretta). Driving a Triumph Stag was something I had wanted to do for a very long time, especially one in such good condition. It exceeded all my expectations.
Paul English

Just to let you know how much my dad enjoyed driving the Jaguar Mk 2. As you probably picked up, he has a keen interest in cars and I do not think the experience could have been better.
Many thanks
Peter Swift

My husband arranged hiring the car as a surprise to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. When he pulled up I burst into tears - I just couldn't believe it. I have always loved Jaguars and the Mark II is my favourite so it really was a dream come true. We enjoyed a fantastic three days with the car and every time we drove it people would smile and wave. Thank you so much for such wonderful memories. I will never forget it!!!
Carol Willans Rotherham

The Jag was in superb condition for its age, a bit like me, and it was a real pleasure to drive a real car with style.
John Kendall

Thanks for your warm welcome and generous hospitality. The 1964 MGB was absolutely fabulous to drive. Good luck!
Janine and Alan Roberts

A fantastic birthday weekend! Managed the whole two days in the MGB with no top!
Yvonne and Trevor

Driving the Stag around Derbyshire made for a memorable 30th wedding anniversary.
Keith and Barbara Allinson

Took the Triumph Stag out for the day - stunning car to drive and fantastic scenery. In the evening the B&B very luxurious and welcoming. Don't want to leave. May come back for one of the Jaguars!
Mike Renaut

The weather tried hard to spoil our time in the Stag but it couldn't. It was fantastic to drive - simply superb!
Gordon and Charmaine Cole

Thank you so much. The Jag was wonderful to drive and we had lots of envious comments. Even the weather was kind!
Pam and Keith Cattle

Nostalgia is what it used to be! A wonderful day. A lovely experience. CAR AND B&B excellent. We would recommend the whole package.
Carolyn and Steve Gifford

Super B&B and thanks for keeping the surprise 60th birthday present for Richard. His dream has always been to drive an E-Type. You fulfilled that dream. Thank you.
Richard and Judith Howis

Friendly atmosphere and very good food. All this plus a Rolls Royce for the day has mmade it a special holiday for us. Thanks.
Mag and Pete

Fantastic stay. Fantastic car! Thanks
Malcolm Holmes

Chris and Barry Travis

Thank you for a lovely weekend. Len made good use of your library!
Len and Shirley Harvey

Very nice house. Richard and Loretta go that extra mile. Even kept my bike in the garage.
Steve 'the Rocket' Evans

It is every man's dream to drive an E-Type Jag and David was no exception. He had to wait until his 60th birthday and the car he spent all day driving was beautiful and immaculate. Thank you for making David's birthday special.
David and Denise

We had a fabulous day in the E-Type. Glorious weather and glorious scenery.
Steve and Jo Walker

Thank you but we now have a problem. David now wants to sell his Discovery, the caravan and my car and buy an E-Type of his very own!
Helen and David Chick

Had a fantastic day in the E-Type spoilt only by the weather. The car was brilliant. A chance to drive a car that you dream of owning. I am now saving up to buy an E-Type of my own!
Mark and Shelley Huddleston

Speechless! I am unable to describe the day I have had. The Stag is superb and fulfilled all my expectations and more. Not too thirsty on the petrol either!
Matthew and Helen

Thank you for helping us celebrate our birthdays and for helping Keith realise his dream of driving a Triumph stag. But a week after driving yours he went out and bought one of his own. I've told him it's definitely back to the Queen CDs next year!
Eileen and Keith Moore

We really enjoyed our stay and to drive three cars you dream about was fantastic. Best wishes and many thanks again.
Graham and Stephney Harnett

Gwyn has really been looking forward to driving the Stag for his 60th birthday present. No doubt we will be back again as he has taken a fancy to the E-Type
Chris Jones

Absolutely bloody fantastic!
Gwyn Jones

Thank you for your hospitality and for enabling me to realise my dream to drive a Mk 2 and for organising a fine day in which to do it. Also for your patience in answering my many questions!
Dennis Clarke

John waited a long time for his drive in an E-Type. His 60th birthday treat! We enjoyed a fabulous day in North Yorkshire. The car attracted lots of attention. Or was it the driver? A wonderful experience enjoyed by us both. Thanks for everything you put together to make it a great celebration we will never forget!
John and Sandra Griffiths

A truly magical, memorable stay! We had a perfect day exploring the Peak District in style. Robbie would like to take the roller home and the rest of us would like to take Hector (the dog!)
Robbie, Lea, Evie and Finty Macklam

The Stag was wonderful!
Dermot and Michaeline Kelly

A lovely time and so thoughtful to let us use the car on Sunday instead of Saturday due to the very wet weather.
Rosemary and Keith Baker

Enjoyable day out in the MGB for Paul's 60th birthday. Will try the Stag next time!
Elaine and Paul Garnham

The room was most comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The car magazines and pictures of the "fleet" of classics around the room made the experience even more enjoyable.

After setting off in the E-Type I was wondering why so many people were looking at us, until the penny dropped - I was driving one of the most iconic sports cars of all time. But as I was concentrating on driving it so much - nice and steady, it was pouring down after all - I had not noticed the impression we were making! No doubt some were wondering what I was doing with such a lovely car out in the rain!

The car performed absolutely beautifully, even when we had to go through a "lake" several inches deep. You can imagine that being so low to the road, in a car 46 years old, I was fearing the worst, but it "sailed through" and did not give me one moment's trouble. Despite the weather the whole experience was excellent; I would recommend it to anyone.

Larry and Carol Mann

Thank you again. It was a wonderful trip around your country.
Best regards,
Andreas Tempelmann

The cars are in such wonderful condition and are a joy to be with.
Robert, Alison and High Gammon

Recaptured my youth driving the MGB with the top down! (if only for the day). Thanks to Richard and Loretta for your hospitality. Great birthday present. Great cars! Must return to try the Stag.
David and Sandra Gumbley

Thanks for the warm welcome and hospitality. Fab breakfast and great day out in the Stag. You fulfilled all Martin's dreams! Looking forward to seeing you both again soon.
Dawn and Martin Hobson

Lovely stay and a brilliant day out in the Stag!
David and Jean Parkes

Wonderfully idiosyncratic B&B!
Trevor and Sylvia Millum
