The Hayloft, Cheshire Reviews Summary

Family-Friendly Activities

Pros:

• "Just an incredible day!!!! Little animals for kids to see and pumpkin picking is really good."
• "We rode the miniature train and the man who drove it was very friendly and knowledgeable about the farm."
• "There was also a corn maze. So many spooky decorations in there... There was also a game in the maze."
• "The place we usually go pumpkin picking wasn’t open this year so a friend recommended the Hayloft…."
• "The gentleman who operated [the miniature railway] was so kind and knowledgeable telling us about the area."
• "Enjoyed a Sunday afternoon out in hayloft picking pumpkins. They have plenty of parking on the grounds."
• "Lovely little place to spend a couple of hours. My granddaughter loves the train ride and the play area."
• "There are also pigs, sheep's, goats, rabbits and guinea pigs and a horse and pony's. Very nice friendly place."

Cons:

• "The play area had more than the 6 kids recommended, but that's more to do with disrespectful parents rather than them."
• "The small playground was closed due to Covid19 and the outdoor toilets were disgusting."
• "There were not many farm animals to pet and it wasn't really designed in a way where kids could pet the animals."
• "I thought there would be more animals and the train is massively overpriced."
• "The train ride is a little too short for £2 per person in my view, but the kids still loved it anyway."
• "The maize maze was terrifying with 3 small kids as the field was so big. I did actually lose the youngest."
• "The maze is good but obviously you need to go in wellingtons or stout boots and a change of shoes."
• "The play area was disappointing as was the train ride for the price and the duration."

• "The food in the café is good... but the service was slow and patchy, didn't even get the mocha I ordered."
