Examples of recent TripAdvisor reviews:

24 June –This is a lovely place to be whatever the weather. The staff are very helpful. Its a joyful place to visit and spend time.

23 June – If you love wildlife, particularly baby wildlife, this is the place to go and you can feed them by hand too. Its peaceful, beautiful and a great place to recharge the batteries.

10 June – I love visiting this place for the amazing variety of bird life (so many different types of ducks!), the beautiful scenery, the peace and quiet, and nothing beats having ducklings feeding out of your hand - a great dose of 'feel-good-factor' for young and old alike.

9 June - Great variety and the walks and boat rides make this a special place for young and old. So many species of ducks and birds with all the young hatching - and the sun shone which made it even better. Cafe is a good value for food and drinks. Its clean and tidy throughout and well worth a visit.
