Came here for the winter wonderland. My 3 and 6 year olds loved it. The area before Santa was great.
Santa himself was brilliant. Took lots of time to chat to the kids. The only thing that let it down was that the choice of toys for my 6 year old wasnt great. My 3 year old loved her toy. The VR experience was great although a little pricey (6 per person) but felt it was good for my 6 year old as he wasnt overly impressed with the toy choice. Really well set out though and great for the kids. The hot chocolate was lovely! Shout out to the staff too who were friendly and helpful.

Went to gouldings garden centre for the Winter Wonderland. The little displays were lovely to look at although my little girl raced through that part. Santa meeting was ok, not a lot to say etc about that, possibly a bit more chat from the big guy. Then got to go through and choose a toy. We picked a little fairy outfit though the skirt did rip as soon as we were home! i think you could buy a photo with santa but we didnt really get close enough for that. then there are wee rides kids can go on and got a free tea or coffee. rides like wee cars, train, teacups and option of hook a duck.

Visited 8th Dec 21 with an under 2 year old. The Wonderland experience was just magnificent.
Santa was lovely and very patient taking time with the wee ones. The choice of toys you
pick from was extremely vast. The kiddie funfare was also a great touch, as was the welcome cuppa for the adults.

Went for lunch with my mother. Stew with potatoes not too much veg. It was a mountain of food. Stew too salty and veg soggy. I ordered breast of chicken salad. Plate over full could hardly cut any and breast looked a bit pink had to leave both.
Got a feeling they think more is better and staff who served not friendly. Gone down hill

Food was delicious. Table service and all staff in masks made distancing super easy and no fuss. Kids play area was mobbed. As of Friday you will be able to pick your own pumpkins! The maize maze is open right now to enjoy. Pumpkin latte delicious as were pancakes maple syrup and streaky bacon. Chicken and rice soup also a hit ! Take a trip!
