    Tbh the price of this isn't THAT crazy for what it is. A night in a luxury hotel can be around twice that price , and that's without all the food and drinks and the day out etc. Would love to do this someday.

    You could try the Caledonian Sleeper train from London to Scotland! I've always wanted to try an overnight train but I feel like you don't get nearly enough luxury for the price. Such a novelty to sleep on a train though!

  • @jensm4026
    @jensm4026 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    I actually don't think that is vastly expensive. Especially if you drink alcohol. Food and drink prices are high at the moment,and you are paying for the experience.
    I thought you were going to say like £1000!

    I grew up in Oxford (in kidlington, which is the train station you got off at) and went to Blenheim palace regularly growing up. It's a perfect place for locals to take kids for a walk and go to the playgrounds, butterfly house, and maze. I definitely took it for granted and love going back now for dog walks when I visit my family, the grounds are wonderful. A lot of my friends worked there too, and we knew some people who were live-in staff. It's an amazing place, and it's such a shame I don't live near it anymore.

  • @christinachen3573

    That was so much fun to watch! I would hope they had more non-alcoholic drinks. I wonder how accommodating they are with dietary differences - gluten free and/or vegan? Celiac? You can tell the food part really has me going lol

    • @LS-mt2nm
      @LS-mt2nm ปีที่แล้ว +6

      was just looking on their website because this intrigued me too and I saw that they have plant-based brunch and dinner menus so probably when booking you can give them dietary requirements?

    • @AnnaKaunitz
      @AnnaKaunitz ปีที่แล้ว +4

      All middle to high end travel caters to dietary needs. Non alcoholic drinks are standard everywhere these days. There’s a world of great alternatives out there. We’re past mineral water these days. One of the girls in the video also said she was served non alcohol drinks non stop.
      Their website says
      “Are all our meals and drinks included?
      While you are on board your meals and drinks, as described in the itinerary, are included. A selected range of alternative alcoholic drinks are also available for purchase.
      Can you cater for special dietary requirements such as vegetarian?
      Yes. If notified at the time of booking, we will do our best to comply with any dietary requirements. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide meals requiring strict religious observance in preparation.”
      They had loads of plant based menus on their menu and they looked amazing so obviously they’re working with all sorts of dietary needs. They can buy anything they can’t fix themselves.
      Gluten free and vegan is not odd and unusual these days. I always explain what I can not eat when I book. Be short and specific.

    You’d probably love to know that I find it so interesting how I watch & love these types of videos, even though personality wise me and you are complete opposites! I couldn’t think of anything more boring than a train journey, London, touring a palace… BUT I enjoy every single one of your videos and surprisingly loved this! I appreciate how honest you are and I love seeing how much you enjoy the small things in life (or big things like this video!) I just wanted to say, I’ve been watching you for years and we are completely different people and probably have nothing in common, but I love your videos and will continue to watch every single one! Just for context of what I’ve said - I don’t like going around London, I hate museums and anything old fashioned, art galleries bore me, I love alcohol and going out to the pub/with friends… however I love your content and always have done! Keep being you because even people like me who are totally different and can’t relate to things that excite you, I love it regardless!! ❤️

    £400 is a bargain for all that! It used to cost me around £180 for the train journey back from Bath to Warrington on a standard cross country train when I was a student (and this was 5 years ago so I can only imagine it’s more expensive now). Trains are so expensive in the U.K. when you’re going from South to North and vice versa. So, I’m actually shocked at the price of this, I was expecting you to say nearer to the £1000 mark to be honest.
