    Thought it was lovely, play parks were amazing!
    Animals looked really well looked after, I thought there would have many been rabbits but the animals that where there were all lovely. A lot of pigs, like 3 sheds of pigs but it was nice

    Cafe was nice, very busy!
    We went on a bank holiday but I would definitely recommend it - you could easily spend the day there

    How was it the first time I’ve been here? What a place? Our little toddler loved it. So many places to walk and explore. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side we still loved it. The cafe was great to start our morning with breakfast before we began our adventure. We will definitely be back. I’ve lived nearby since I was 9 years old and at 31 have only just visited.

    We discovered by chance the exhibition of the illustrations and life story of local lad Brian Wildsmith who became a world class children’s book illustrator and author. Beautiful joyful work. More of his work is displayed down the road in the Cooper Gallery. Both highly recommended.

    Visited on a wet day. Interesting history of the village. Sign posting of site could be better. Interesting range of shops great sweet shop, craft shop, specialist food shops. Two cafes available both have a range of dishes for all the family. Interesting exhibition on the site history. Also amazing antique centre .

    Been here with my wife 3 times now, and will likely be back for a fourth. The gardens are amazing, and so beautiful! The cafe is a little on the expensive side, but still nice enough. Can't wait to come back.

    Really great place, worth the money I would have gave it a 5 star rating but when I was feeding the goats one bit my finger and I jumped back and fell over a innocent old lady, I apologised and she was fine but my finger was sore

    Much extended from when I remember it . There's a good mix of classic and modern art plus two excellent eateries , a cafe with a limited number of hot dishes for a light lunch , and a more sophisticated restaurant , small so pre-booking advised , in addition .
