Best birthday gift I have given.

What an experience... We met 4 birds on the day the guy who did the experience was very knowledgeable and answered any questions that he was asked... You got a good amount of time with each bird to get a photo and look at some of these amazing birds.. I bought this for my partners birthday and he absolutely loved it.. wished he could meet more birds! Would definitely do this again!!

A lovely delicious present

The staff were very friendly and helpful, as we were going to be out of the house all day, I rang and asked if I could bring our dog, so we didn't have to leave her alone all day. They very kindly set a table for us in the bar. The afternoon tea was delicious and there was so much we had to bring some home with us. There was a great variety of sandwiches and cakes and a delicious scone with jam and cream for each of us. One of the best presents we have ever had
