Not bad for the grandchildren age 8 & 4. Play area is not vast but probably big enough for two hours. Food and drink prices are a bit more expensive, but facilities are clean and well kept. Don't know why they charge for adults if they expect you to spend money at the cafe? Beware of Photos on Google the facilities are all indoors and definitely no farm animals ( Non for 3 years according to staff)!!

Definitely not baby friendly like their website states. After a 1 hour drive we left after 20 minutes as the “large 0-2 years baby/toddler area” was not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 months. Older children running around in such a small space, nothing for a baby to do or play with, not even a ball pit in the young area. You have to go into the older children area to use the ball pit and it was just dangerous with them jumping around our 10 month old.

Although a good soft play area, the food prices are too high for what you get. 6.50 for a child's pizza which is the same as a 69p aldi one. Website indicates still has animals which it doesn't anymore. Use to have a barn you went into with activities on the floor it's just an empty room now. And on several visits depending where you sit you can smell the toilets. Most of the time not enough seating for the amount of People they let in. Soft play area is cool but other areas need improvement

Although it seems to be a fairly nice place for children to have fun is a terribly uncomfortable place for adults to wait. Sitting is uncomfortable and just as literally a couple of comfortable sitting places, coffee is terrible served I unhygienic plastic little cups resembling some sort of council estate setting but yet charges the same price of a Costa coffee that is at least served in a ceramic cup. There are better options out there. Unfortunately not returning and advised anyone who minimally has standards to avoid.

Took our 3 here, and they absolutely loved it. Price was not bad, plenty of seating with good views of the play areas. Children can go in and out and quickly find you. Couple of people breaking the health and safety rules by not wearing socks - one little girl hurt her foot going down the yellow slide. Socks are available to buy - I think the announcement said £1. The rule is not just there for hygiene it helps prevent injury. Food and drinks available for adults and kids alike - and reasonably priced. Car parking is good. Well worth a visit.
