Please Note: We do our best to Gender Balance, this will mean there will be times when we cannot accept any more Followers (this usually means ladies/followers) 😢 We can still add you to our waiting list, just email & let us know what you’d like to join, ie full weekender York etc, we can then let you know if something comes available.
Another option is to find a Lead/Gent, and get them to book on as your gender balance. Book Single Rooms or Twins, the choice is yours.
