A House Party. A Crime.
A Reckoning.

The Setting

The Sandrock becomes the principal stage.

A 10-bedroom coastal house overlooking Exmoor, reimagined as a secluded 1930s retreat where something has gone wrong and not everyone is telling the truth.

Beyond the house, the mystery moves into the landscape. Scenes may unfold at:

• Woody Bay Railway Station
• The Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway
• Cliff-top paths overlooking the sea
• Candlelit drawing rooms
• Private dining tables

The town itself becomes part of the story.

The Experience

Each weekend follows a carefully constructed narrative arc.

Guests may be assigned characters in advance or participate as observers within the unfolding investigation.

Across three days, participants will encounter:

• An opening reception where tensions are already present
• Controlled release of clues
• Private conversations and concealed motives
• Period-inspired dining under watchful silence
• Railway excursions woven into the storyline
• A final, deliberate revelation

Professional actors may guide the narrative subtly, maintaining immersion without theatrical excess.

The Tone

The atmosphere draws from:

• Interwar country house intrigue
• Railway secrets
• Social hierarchy under strain
• Coastal isolation
• Quiet menace

Elegant. Controlled. Unsettling.

Accommodation

• Guests stay within The Sandrock's en-suite rooms.
• Group size limited to preserve intimacy.
• Private group bookings available.

Culinary Direction

Dining reflects the tone of the setting.

Expect:

• Structured multi-course evening meals
• Cocktail-led opening reception
• Traditional English breakfast
• Fireside settings where conversation matters

The table becomes part of the investigation.
