"Beautiful surroundings and lovely Nativity trail done for the children. Gorgeous Christmas lunch where my only complaint was that the food wasn't very hot. Staff are friendly and polite. I'd definitely return and recommend to others. Wear appropriate footwear, the trails are very muddy at the moment." - Mish
