We spent a glorious morning walking through the woods taking in autumn in all its amazing beauty, chatting and getting to know my fellow walkers. We were then treated to a feast of fresh soup, breads, cheeses and sweet delights from the lovely Antonia at Huntley house. It was a great way to spend a few hours meeting some amazing people.

It was my first time there and I shall certainly return! And of course lunch by Antonia at Hidden Huntley was amazing as was the walk around her beautiful garden...very envious of her walled garden! Thank you again and I hope that I can join with walkitoffni in the future. Evelyn and Paul

Nikki met us at Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon’s park on a beautiful sunny day. We enjoyed a guided tour through the park with very easy conversation intermingled with unusual and informative facts from Nikki. We meandered our way through the park and a little suburbia to arrive at Huntley House. Hidden Huntley is a perfect description of this oasis of calm away from it all. Antonia greeted us and lead us into the walled garden where we enjoyed excellent conversation along with an alfresco artisan lunch just right for the day. Finishing with a guided tour of the walled garden we then made our way back to the park and a leisurely stroll back to our starting point with Nikki.We were both surprised and delighted with her beautiful gift of hand made cards. I can highly recommend this as an excellent way to spend a day weather as a couple or small group and would make a unique gift for partner, friends or colleagues. Best of all it’s on your doorstep here waiting for you to discover in wonderful NI. Thanks so much Nikki and Antonia. read less - Christine McKinney

The walk off the beaten track into Thomas and Lady Dixon park was beautiful in the autumn colours. It’s so relaxing to be led by someone who knows where they’re going. It allows you to fully switch off and enjoy each step. The walled garden at Huntley is such a hidden gem and it was a joy to be served lunch in the greenhouse and to chat to fellow walkers. This is a truly unique experience highly recommended. read less - Anita Murphy

I have walked with Nikki twice and each time I have left feeling refreshed and less weighed down. There’s absolutely no pressure, all controlled by you. So you can decide the pace, the walking trail, and what you talk about. And Nikki is just so lovely; she just listens. She is understanding and non-judgemental. She’s a friend by your side when you need one the most.

Our time with Nikki and Antonia surpassed our expectations. Despite the stormy weather we had a lovely time at Lady Dixon Park. Nikki was so brilliant at sharing her stories in a passionate and engaging way, our whole time was relaxing and enjoyable. Due to the weather we were also invited to have our lunch inside of Huntley house (which was amazing as this has never happened before). Antonia was an amazing host with a wicked sense of humour that my nanny just loved. Our lunch was beautiful and the environment created by Nikki and Antonia was welcoming and friendly. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough and will definitely be back in the future to hear more of Nikki’s knowledgable and engaging stories. Thank you so much for helping me have this lovely day with my nanny. read less - Hannah martin

A trifle worried about the inclement weather the day before, I dressed appropriately for a Spring walk. Met by Nikki, we, three of us, had a fascinating walk round the estate, I'd no idea there was a walled garden, crown fountain or an azalea walk. In the midst of the park the traffic and business of Belfast could have been miles away. We saw amazing trees, early camellias, very tuneful robins and touching pet gravestones. I will certainly go back. We however were far from finished, a short walk down Dunmurry Lane and we met Antonia in her walled garden. The sun came out and we had a brilliant lunch, Antonia catering for dietary requirements. All too soon we had to return to the carpark, Nikki and Antonia were just lovely, a great day's crack and exercise to boot (though not responsible for the weather obviously, the watery sunshine and temperate weather were a great bonus.
