It was great to there with the family especially with it being Christmas they had a Santa experience which was great, meet Santa tell him what you want for Christmas, take a tractor ride to the farm to meet and feed the Reindeer and chose your own early Christmas present. They also have a nice cafe and Christmas shop.

The cafe has been done up since I last went and is lovely especially the photos. Had a festive pannini and a piece of delicious carrot cake . Also had a walk round the Christmas shop which has put me in a festive mood now!

Didn't visit house & gardens today so can't do review for that. We visited the shops, garden centre, Christmas shop & Farm shop. Ample parking. Also went to the nice cafe. A pleasing few hours out.
