Heart Of The Country Village

Fabulous place to hang out for an hour. Great little cafes. My kids loved the fairy garden and the pigs!

Well, I’ve never been here before and what a little gem! Free car parking and although it was busy I had no difficulty finding a space. A small wood for a wander around, nice if you have small children with you. Converted outbuildings have a surprising number of little shops and cafés with a beautifully planted area between them with outdoor seating. Altogether great for a wander round, bit of speciality shopping and a bite to eat. Oh yes, and resident pig foraging about the wood…

Expensive. Nice food in some parts . Pets shop very good. Fairy walk needs to be cleaned up and improvements made so that it is better for wheelchairs a bonus would be if they invested in a changing places toilet , rather that an inadequate disabled toilet as is now. Uneven ground in car park was hard for my wheelchair and my care all most fell over when she tripped on a pot hole.

A lovely place to visit. Lovely shops selling top quality things. Nice places to have something to eat or drink.And you must try The Fairy Walk in the woods. Plenty of parking.

Nice place.
Relaxing atmosphere friendly people.
You can even get your eggs out of a egg vending machine... lol.
Yes true, they really do.

We went to visit just after Christmas, unfortunately a lot of the shops were closed. But the fairy trail walk was open, and it was such a fun trail, it wasn’t really muddy either and it’s quite big and lots to see. Some parts of the trail did feel a bit tacky with the Barbie Fairies and a bit strange to see the McDonald’s toys and dummy plastic tree. It was good message to send, but I also felt putting plastic on the tree was contradicting.
The pigs were out, busy splashing in the mud, so a bonus to see the animals too.
The shopping area was quite big, lots of shops, toilet facilities and small businesses.

Overall it was really nice to visit and I can imagine once lockdown is lifted, it’s a nice day out to go for a walk, see the pigs and get lunch too.
The day out is free and there is also free parking too, so I would definitely recommend going for a family day out.

Lovely little place for some shopping and a bite to eat. Nice history to the place to read about too.

Great gallery and shops, and the best brunch I've ever had at the Barn - eggs benedict with chorizo and black pudding.
