No doubt about it the icecream is beautiful but I didn't think the outdoor activities were for under 5's. The soft play area was good and the food was delicious. It was an ok visit. More

Thanks for your review, good to know you enjoyed the indoor play area and our delicious ice cream. The outdoor areas are certainly more suitable for older children, we like to think we offer something for all age groups and many families with teenage children still come to enjoy a day out here. We have developed our adventure playground with... More

We got there late so it was very quiet which was nice. We had lovely coffee, hot chocolate and ice-cream then a ramble with our dog round the nature trail which has been thoughtfully laid out. More
