• "Really good value for money."
• "The price of entry is very reasonable and offers value for money."

• "A great little curiosity, it's not the biggest attraction but considering entry is only £4.50 it's good value."
• "It's quite economically priced."

Cons:

• "£9 for two adults felt steep for such a short amount of time."
• "Would be better if slightly cheaper as it doesn't kill much time."
• "Parking was slightly challenging and expensive."
• "£9 for 2 adults and an under 1 actually feels like too much money for when you’re in there."
• "This place is overrated and the ticket prices are high and don’t justify the place at all."
• "Honestly this should be cheaper OR at least in good condition and not requiring further purchases once entered."

Accessibility and Convenience

• "Parking is limited but there are other alternative parking spaces near by."
• "Parking is there but it's quite small so you will have to go a bit further for a big parking spot."
• "There is a tiny carpark (prices in the photos) but there’s room on the road to park and the village is pretty."

• "Parking was slightly challenging and expensive."
• "Too many people let in, cannot move around the village comfortably."
• "The paths are quite narrow so I don't think it's ideal for strollers."
