Reviewed By JOHNTY49

I've bought numerous garments and hired kilts over the years and found Walter and his son to be most professional. The quality of their garments and the service that they provide is second to none. When it comes to price I've also found them to be very competitive. One of their specialities is the supply and the hiring of kilts for weddings etc, I only hope that Cov'd 19 doesn't do them too much harm.

Always a delight and would recommend them for any occasion that can be dreamed up! Thinking of treating myself to one of her chocolate making sessions this year.......

Reviewed By xxKatxx2011xx - Cockermouth, United Kingdom

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.
