• "The worst thing we bought by far was something called Brisket Bombs."

Facilities & Environment

• "The cafes and eateries have appalling acoustics so we gave lunch a miss."
• "An incredibly loud place to eat, plus it didn't help with the empty bottles being thrown into bins behind the bar."

• "The farm shop itself is good."
• "The fish shed provides fantastic fish n chips."
