Value for Money

Pros:

  • "It's cheap enough entry and you can purchase a bag of food to feed the animals too."
  • "This is a fantastic place to visit, plenty of wide open space, lovely woodland, and a beautiful hall, farm and walled garden."

  • "Loads if space... Kids outdoor play area. Good reasonably priced good."

Cons:

  • "Very disappointing visit. Too many dogs in the park and a lot of them were not on a lead. Signs say cafe is open for takeaway but it is not, It is a coffee van and the prices are terrible."
  • "The stable cafe is okay for food a little expensive, it has been cleaned up recently so is a tad more hygienic."
  • "Superb country park with extensive woodland walks... The farm is too expensive. £5 p.p. with no family tickets or allowance for senior citizens."
  • "Try and avoid the ice cream van though its a rip off as a usually £1.50 cone with a flake will set you back over £3/£3.50 here."
