Cafe
Pros:
"The award winning cafe on site is fantastic, very family friendly."
"After a relaxing stroll it has a superb cafe offering hot and cold food of a really good standard."
"Food was lovely and reasonably priced."
"The cafe is very good too with very friendly staff and good quality food and drink."
"The cafe was something else again. Locally sourced organic food, amazing variety and looked good value for money."
"The Orchard cafe does excellent coffee and bacon butties but try their menu as you will not be disappointed with their other food options."
"The cafe stocks quality food and isn't overpriced."
Cons:
"For myself and my 3 children it cost almost £50 to have something to eat and drink."
"Got charged £16.50 for 2 hot chocolates and the worst bacon sandwich ever. Burnt thin bacon, so thin it looked and tasted like it had been stretched over the thick bread. Utterly tasteless."
"The reason this review didn't get 5 stars is down to the cafe and the toilets; the cafe was clean, food was pleasant and atmosphere ok but I thought it was a bit overpriced for what I could be made at home."
"The cafe was very busy. But didn't think the ordering system outside worked very well. As had to wait in a queue twice for coffees which was over 30 mins.. Food was taking a lot longer."
"Service, particularly at the counter, can be slow."
"The cafe is definitely overpriced and quite low quality so I’d recommend bringing a picnic as there are lots of benches."
"I am only giving 3 stars because the cafe food and drink quality is so poor! I have tried a few items there over the last few months to support the cafe as the woods and parking are free."
Park and Play Areas
Pros:
"Worcester woods is a lovely place to walk, take the family, walk the dog and take part in a park run."
"A fantastic playground area for young and older children set on mini hills which they like to climb around."
"Fabulous play area for kids, plenty of outside seating by cafe with and without shelter."
"Great outdoor space with cafe or bring your own picnic they even have a NEW you can hire and bring your own food."
"Brilliant. Just had the grandsons birthday party here."
"Two big kids play areas, massive field to play in."
"Great parks for small and big kids alike."
Cons:
"It's about time you resurfaced the areas around the play equipment, it was like a quagmire, deep puddles which made all the equipment muddy."
"The park are is flat in the main but some of the trails do twist and turn up and down to follow the natural ground level."
"It's lovely place with park and woods to walk however dogs are not on a lead in the woods and some dogs are not on a lead in the outside restaurant area where children play."
"The walking trail is quite short and play area doesn't justify visit from non-locals."
"It was such a shame it was absolutely teeming with families with small children due to the large play areas. No social distancing maintained at all."
"Wasn't expecting to need to wear wellies, it was quite muddy and dog poo was on the trail."
"It was a very hot day so the slides in the playpark were too hot for the children to play on."
Facilities and Cleanliness
Pros:
"On-site loos incl disabled facilities."
"The dogs enjoyed a doggy sausage & doggy ice cream too from the cafe."
"Dogs welcomed, even a hose to clean them off when muddy."
"Good accessible parking and relaxed enough for a planned group or just to wear out the children."
"Well constructed play area for kids and a pleasant outdoor seating area for refreshments."
"Toilets clean when I visited just before lunchtime."
"Well presented and clean toilets are also welcome."
Cons:
"Second star lost was for the baby changing facilities; sadly, I was very put off; the fold down changing table was filthy, there was paper all over the floor and the toilet hadn't been flushed."
"Toilets aren't brilliant, but that's the only real downside."
"The cafe, toilets and change facilities desperately need some updating and care."
"The toilet facilities are not special but adequate and mostly clean."
"Only one little gripe is that there is not enough poop bins."
"Irresponsible dog owners leaving their dog poo behind. Disgusting!"
"Many trees and lower limbs are falling being a danger to walkers."
Parking
Pros:
"Car park (fee to be paid). Adjacent council car park has accessible fast and rapid chargers for electric vehicles."
"Free parking, and lots of it."
"Free parking, and a lot of it which is always a bonus!"
"There is plenty of parking located on site."
"On site Café. Free parking, and lots of it."
"Loads free parking in adjacent car park inside barrier."
"Can be accessed by car for which there is a large free car park."
Cons:
"A crowded car park."
"There are a decent number of parking spaces but it can get full very quickly."
"Parking for those using the countryside centre is strictly applied."
"Parking is OK but can be a bit awkward when busy (mid day weekends)."
"I accidentally parked in a Disabled bay (Bay markings completely faded)."
"The County Council have commandeered part of the parking area for the exclusive use of the council."
"On site parking (can get crowded on school holidays)."
