Food Quality

• "Food was lovely and great value."
• "The food is really nice and reasonably priced."
• "Food was really good."

Cons:

• "Portions, as ever, were decent, but we were quite disappointed to see that they're still using disposable plastic spoons - and presumably just binned with the rest of the rubbish."
• "Chips were treated as an extra 'side order' rather than being included in the main pricing."
• "When the Woodfired pizza came we were told they had ran out and substituted for gluten free which looked like it came out of a freezer."
• "Had the beef pizza which came largely burnt, obviously being wood fired I understand some charring but not a completely burnt crust, lacking in flavour compared to last year and food was incredibly salty."
• "Amazing ice-creams but the restaurant was not good. Pizza small with not much topping, overdone chips, cream tea had stale scone and kids meals poor."
• "Food tempting, but made the mistake of going for rosemary salted chips. It was soooo salty."
• "Disappointed that there was little choice when it came to hot food."

Facilities and Environment

Pros:

• "Free car parking."
• "The atmosphere of Roskillys was lovely too - we sat outside and although it started to rain we were very sheltered sitting under the tree canopy."
• "Beautiful woodland walks with various ponds to meander around."
• "Toilets are usable. Seating inside but more outside."
• "Nice walks around the lakes in the grounds and further coastal paths nearby if you want a longer walk."
• "Good car parking is available."
• "Free parking and free to wander around."

Cons:

• "Don't believe the downloadable map on their website - there's NO milking of cows! Apparently this stopped during the pandemic."
• "It was nice to see the animals, but the chickens in the picnic area seemed too big and numerous their small run/house."
• "Gallery is no such thing bans children but is no more than a gift shop, good for perfumed soap! A bit of an odd place."
• "Although that section is quite dilapidated, they now have a camping site too."
• "The only downside is where this place is so popular the car park isn’t big enough to accommodate all the visitors at peak times."
• "Gallery closed after 4 and also due to Covid the ceramics place closed."
• "Haven't been in several years and thought that everything looked a little tired, shabby and in need of some TLC and sprucing up."
