Absolutely gorgeous. Everything has been thoroughly thought about, with so many small touches that exceed expectations. Role play area is full of wonderful toys, and is clean and tidy. Soft play area is lots of fun. And the outdoor space is wonderful too. Food and drinks are delicious with lots of vegan and gluten free options. And the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Came today and it was really good for my 3 year old! Absolutely spotless and as we were leaving we saw one of the girls with cleaning spray making sure everything was clean for the next lot of children! The cakes are delicious and I think it's a lovely hidden gem

Beautiful place! First time visiting and wish we'd of known about it sooner! So clean and the safety for children is amazing and well thought out. The role play is lovely best I've seen and my little one loved the soft play area. Not forgetting they also have an outdoor area with various activities. Great place to visit. Well priced (cheaper than some I've been to and are honestly not as good). Food and drinks were very nice also. The location was great as the little village has many other places of interest for before or after your visit. It also has a little fairy walk near the car park where you go on a trail which entails pigs, mud kitchens, picnic area and spot the fairy doors. Highly recommend :) thank you for a lovely day. We can't wait to visit again.

Friendly staff, very ascetically appealing, loved the shortbread cookie. Adorable little cup for my little one! First one I’ve been too that so has a garden! Came here today and loved that there was different scarecrows scattered around that little shopping village as it’s spooky season but was gutted that almost all the shops were shut on a Monday but it was still a lovely little walk around. I was unaware of the surroundings before coming so next time I will come on another day to check out the shops and also have a nosey at the “fairy woods” walk just opposite the car park. Make a day out then. Also great to see when leaving they was actually cleaning everything, every fake toy food ect nice to see it being done properly. Lovely place, do agree with the odd comment on here mentioned maybe a stair gate at the bottom too and it did feel a little over crowded when we first arrived but they reserve you a table when you book so that’s a nice added bonus! Very thoughtful to have the added nappies and sanitary products in bathroom.

What a place! This is my new favourite day out with my children. Every detail is carefully considered. The toys and props in the role play area are wonderful, with so much to play with. The soft play is perfect size for my 2 year old. The food and drinks available are delicious, with lots of choice and even accommodate gluten free and vegan requirements. The decorations are so beautiful and thoughtful. And the staff were friendly and helpful. I adore it here!
