Visited here today, two family’s 4 adults and 4 children in total. I travelled from Cockermouth and would do it all over again!! It’s worth the travel and we will be going back. It’s amazingly clean and the staff are amazing (there are lots of them) but they are busy keeping everyone happy and the place spotless. All the doors are secure and alarmed so little ones can’t get out of the indoor area. So there is a huge indoor play area (soft play) and a cafe which is reasonably priced and tasty. Also a huge area with ride along tractors and little tike cars. Outside there is a park, huge bouncy castle inflatable, go kart track, mini golf, trampolines, sand area and a huge track for family go karts to go right round the farm park. Plus a water fight area. The water boats are £2 and the electric motorbikes that are on a track outside and inside take £1 coins. Water bombs are 50p but apart from that everything is included in the price. We were there all day and left at 4.30 We will be returning I would rather travel the extra 30 mins from Carlisle and go here instead of Walby.

It's unfortunate that you can't leave a review every time you eat out as we've eaten several times in this establishment since my last review and we've never been dissapointed yet. Cov'd 19 guidelines are strictly adhered too and they operate a one way system through the store and the restaurant. The quality of their food is first class along with the service and the price. Most of their products are home made and their afternoon tea for two is well worth every penny, just recommend that you go with an empty stomach as they certainly know how to feed you. Well done to James and all of his staff for doing a great job.
