A limited play area in the grounds and picnics are restricted to the café area only. There are lots of animals to see; cows, donkeys, sheep, lambs, chickens, turkeys. You can feed the ducks but there is limited 'hands on' opportunities for the children. A lot of farm machinery around inc. tractors – but strictly 'no climbing'. The house is lovely – but not always staffed. Beware of school groups – they do take priority over the general public. Good toilets and changing room.
Please let us know if you have any feedback for this year.
