    Mostly good - one employee spoils the experience.
    Really great place to visit, especially now that the garden is open. The playbarn is generally good except for the following: the kids meals are very expensive - almost £7 for a tiny plate of food (similar venues charge £3.50), the toilets are not checked regularly enough and one employee has been rude on several occasions. Most staff are lovely (especially the girl with dark hair and plaits on reception) but the girl with her hair usually worn up in a high round bun (and with a tattoo on her right arm) is surly, no social skills, doesn’t seem to like children,never smiles and can be quite rude. Shame as she lets the playbarn down. Otherwise a really great place to bring young children.
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for appreciating the overall visit to Farrington's. We value feedback from our customers as it helps us improve our service. Regarding the price of our kids meals, we constantly evaluate our pricing (and compare to our competition) to ensure it reflects the quality and value we offer. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the cleanliness of the toilets. We strive to maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout our facilities and have appropriate cleaning schedules to ensure this happens. We will review these as a result of your feedback. We are glad you felt that most of our staff provided excellent service during your visit. We believe that each staff member plays a crucial role in creating a positive experience for our visitors. Regarding your experience with one member of the team, we have investigated this matter fully. The employee you refer to has been with us for a significant period and has consistently received positive feedback from both customers and colleagues. She is known for her professionalism and dedication to providing excellent service. We regularly receive compliments regarding her friendly demeanour and her willingness to help customers. In fact, during your visit, she assisted the child you were with, offering them first aid after a small accident. We would like to emphasise that we do not tolerate any form of mistreatment towards our staff and if a member of staff feels threatened or unhappy with the way they are being treated by a customer, we will ask you to leave. We hope you understand our position on this.

    The Best Soft Play in the Area!
    Took our Grandchildren aged 4 & 6 here, and they had a brilliant time. We didn’t see them for ages, until they wanted a drink! Then we went to choose drinks and snacks and the choice was excellent! The staff here are lovely and they are happy to help carry things to your table, when you run out of hands! There is enough to keep kids of any age happy and is definitely the favourite with our grandchildren! If you are looking for something to do in the Mendip area, you will be on to a winner with Farringdon’s Playbarn!

    Perfect for children’s parties !
    The play-barn held a party for our 4 year old with 20 friends. Really well organised, private tables for the kids to have drinks and some lunch (lots of food options which get arranged in advance), as well as providing the birthday cake. Really friendly staff and perfect for kids to just run around for a few fours, get some food and give the parents a break.

    Fantastic birthday party.
    Fantastic birthday party for my 5 yet old. Staff met us on arrival and showed us to our dedication party area. Kids loved the soft play and had plenty of time for play and food. Food options were good, also catering for vegetarians. A great chocolate cake was also provided, as well as party bags. A really pleasant and stress free experience. Thank you.

    Gurt Lush Christmas Afternoon Tea
    Gurt Lush Christmas Afternoon Tea - enjoyed this afternoon tea as part of a family of 4 - two kids, two adults. Every single item was genuinely so delicious and there was plenty of it - so much so that we took a few cake items home. Lovely atmosphere in the cafe with fires lit and decorations hung. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be booking again for next year :) We visited after an hour and a half in the softplay (which the kids 7 and 9 thoroughly enjoyed too) during Christmas break.

    Excellent party Venue
    We had a group of 2 years who all jointly celebrated their birthdays there. They loved it! There was plenty of choice of food and the team went out their way to make it as easy as possible. No ask was too much. Would definitely recommend, they take the stress out of children’s parties, what more can you ask for 😀

I had my 2yr olds birthday party in the softplay play barn today. Having never organised a child's birthday party before and my daughters birthday being the first of the year, I had no idea what I was doing! However, farrington went above and beyond to make it really relaxed and easy. Between the children attending there were 6 different food allergies, which farrington were able to accommodate and were accepting of me providing an allergy free cake to go alongside their delicious fully naughty cake. They supported me with how the party flowed, when to play, eat, and have cake. All my decisions to make, but with their guidance from previous party's.

I highly recommend having a party here, fuss free and no clearing up to do! All adult attendees remarked on their picnic boxes bring more than they were expecting and all the children were happy and tired! Just fab!!
