Park in Bristol

“Passing through and saw this little place. Popped in for a bacon butty and a wee and it’s made me genuinely sad that I don’t live around the corner so I could visit every week. Staff (Sharon and Darcy) were so friendly even though we aren’t local. They had regulars (known by name) and clearly look after them making everyone feel special. Spending time chatting with an older gentleman. It’s opposite the park and botanical gardens, I walked the dog before popping in. Really wished I lived closer to be able to come back get bits for a picnic and stroll in the parks. Dog friendly too! Bacon butty - banging Takeaway brownie not yet eaten but smells divine. Service warm and friendly And the best bit, evening guest chefs and wine! Anyone have the number of an estate agent?”

“In one of the private rooms for a 14 person event. Room was perfect, it was a Christmas meal and felt super cosy and tucked away from the rest of the pub. Decor was nice. Staff couldn’t have been more attentive. Reasonable price for the food and drink we had. Very likely to return next year! Thank you.”

“Good communication. No problems with booking over the phone. Fast and efficient service. Definitely will use it again and recommend it to others. Thank you”

“Always a pleasant experience with my dentist Dr Saljughi and hygienist Estefania.”

“Great staff, great product, great sense of humor all around. The rush periods are completely random, sometimes it's dead; sometimes it's pretty busy but the staff never hurry you and always give as much advice as possible.”

“Love all the open space, love the play park facilities”

“Loved it! Lots of bouldering tracks for beginners, very friendly staff, easy registration and no additional fees for newcomers. We spent an hour here on a Saturday and could probably stay longer if our fingers didn't start falling off, hehe. A nice gym stretching area, clean bathrooms, a cafe, everything you want really. Will come again! Update: got really used to the place, 5 stars:)”

“Smart, slick and the coffee was pretty good and at a sensible price. The cakes looked good but I didn't try them. Ever since Liz Truss was in power coffee has gone up, chocolate too, I can't think why. But at £2.40 that's good compared to some places at £3.45.”

“Beautiful National Trust site. Excellent walks with stunning views. Dyrham Park house is just stunning with beautiful gardens, church, and ponds. You have video history, tea rooms, and a mobility bus for the elderly and disabled. Really helpful, informative staff. We would highly recommend.”

“Jennifer greeted me when I first came in to do some research into buying a new mattress. She was absolutely charming and so knowledgeable. When I came back with my partner to buy a mattress, Zach helped us and was so helpful. His service was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Their manager of the store (forgotten his name sorry) was also incredibly helpful and lovely when we spoke with him at the end of the process. Thank you to the whole team who made a laborious and overwhelming task an absolute pleasure!”

“Lovely site, all staff so friendly and facilities top quality. Shower rooms so clean and warm. Looking forward to our next visit”

“I recently visited Chew Valley Animal Park and booked the private capybara experience, and I have to say it was absolutely worth it. The capybaras were incredible to see up close, and being able to pet and feed them made the experience so special. The animal keeper leading the session was fantastic as well, really engaging, full of knowledge, and clearly passionate about the animals, which made the whole experience even better. On top of that, I really enjoyed the cuddle sessions with the smaller animals. Getting to hold and spend time with the mice, rabbits and guinea pigs was such a lovely part of the visit. My favourite had to be a guinea pig called Coco Chanel, who was a total diva in the best way. In my photos she’s the brown, fluffy one with loads of hair, she definitely stole the show. The park itself is really well set out with great enclosures that look spacious and well cared for. I also loved how interactive it was in certain areas. The goat enclosure in particular was brilliant; as soon as you go in with food, they swarm around you, which was a lot of fun. The arctic fox was another highlight, such a beautiful and majestic animal to see up close. It’s also clear the park has thought about the practical side of things too, with loads of washing stations around, which makes the whole experience a lot more comfortable and family friendly. We stopped at the restaurant as well and were pleasantly surprised. I had the margarita pizza with chips and the pizza was cooked on a stone base, which gave it that lovely authentic taste. On top of that, booking the capybara experience came with a £5 voucher to use on food, which was a really nice bonus. Overall, Chew Valley Animal Park is a fantastic place to visit. Between the amazing animals, the interactive enclosures, the cuddle time with the smaller pets, the knowledgeable staff, and even the little touches like food vouchers and plenty of washing stations, it felt like a really well rounded day out. I’ll definitely be coming back again.”

“Great place to visit with kids they will love feeding the animals and playing on the parks”

“AMAZING experience to witness Elk and Deers roaming freely. We had a picnic under the trees,a great walk and not too far away from city centre.”

“Really good farm, variety of great options to keep kids of all ages entertained. We visited with age 2 and 6, kids were kept busy until the very end. Lake canoeing (No additional cost) Trampoline Big pillow bounce Small pillow bounce 2x indoor play areas 3x Outdoor playgrounds, one with sand pit, another with zip wire Pond with large fishes in Water park Outdoor castle play area Lots of farm animals plus deers which was a bonus, feeding, petting zones. Tractor tour ride around the farm (additional £3 each). It's one of those areas that you wished you lived closer and would definitely visit on a regular basis because your kids had so much fun. Staff were all very friendly. Great service all round. Highly recommend for family outings...”

“We visited in September with our one year old on a cooler/wet day. Lots of animals to see and kids play areas. We had a pram (all terrain) with us and there wasn't anywhere we couldn't go. The cafe had highchairs and plenty of space for the pram. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to feed the guinea pigs and stroke a python. A great family day out. It rained towards the end of our visit - definitely a more fair weather location as it is quite outdoorsy as you would expect. We got to see lots of animals and it was a very quiet day due to the weather. Lots of hand washing facilities, picnic areas and good toilets. The ticket price seemed fair for all they had to offer and we would definitely go back.”

“Lovely for a day out. So so many different play areas for children, both indoor and out. An excellent tractor and old farm machinery exhibition and lovely friendly £1 tractor rides.”

“Really lovely place to visit. Quiet, peaceful but with fascinating tales of botany to educate too. There's a really nice cafe as a bonus.”

“Absolutely perfect site so accessible to everywhere we walked into Burnham-on-Sea from here it's about 3 mile walk very pleasant very handy for McDonald's Greggs Aldi across the road yes very nice site”

“I took my nephew to this park today and it instantly hit me with a wave of nostalgia. This was the very same park I used to visit as a little one with my family. I remember happily walking down Happy Lane, a narrow footpath decorated with creative artwork from amazing people, though sadly a few have vandalised it with white or pink scribbles. It’s an incredible place that holds so much sentimental value for me. My nephew had an amazing time and especially loved the swings. I was glad to see they’d kept the splash pool too. I have fond memories of splashing around in it as a kid, and seeing him enjoy the park made it feel like my childhood smile had been passed down to him. It’s funny and beautiful how life works sometimes. Nostalgia truly is a gift.”

“Beautiful park and good facilities. Cafe, play area, tennis courts, a bandstand! Gorgeous mature trees and plenty of space.”

“We love this park; so much variety and more challenging equipment for older children. We always take bird seed to feed the ducks, moorhens and swans (and pigeons!) who live on the large lake behind the playground. The cafe is lovely and there is usually an icecream van there too. The water play area is fab in the summer (photos show it switched off as it is October), my girls can spend hours playing in it. There is a smallish concrete basketball court which doubles as a football pitch which is very popular. I love the logs dotted around which have been intricately carved with native species. Well worth a visit and definitely one of my favourite Children’s parks in Bristol/South Glos.”

“Beautiful in Autumn and a great play park, even for big kids.”

“Such an awesome place. Great for families to chill by the cafe and play sports or wander down to the valley for the lakes The views are amazing when the sun is out Highly recommended and you only have to pay for parking or free for NT members Note: path to the lakes is steep. Not ideal for old folk! Its approx 1 mile from cafe to boathouse”

“The star of this park is the Great Barn ( r tithe barn), which is truly a fabulous structure dating back to the 14th-century. The other barns are also very interesting and we also took the short walk along the river to Bradford-on-Avon (maybe 8 minutes)”

“Spacious park, duck pond, playground. Friendly shack selling drinks, duckfood and snacks.”

“Highly appreciated Priscila, she is super nice and full of smile. Food tastes delicious. Place comfortable and relax. Good restaurant.”

“I went in to the Bristol shop was made to feel very welcome like I was the only person in the shop,tried on a few garments of which they had my size in XXL was very pleased”

“Excellent cup of coffee, we popped in while walking around Bath on a Saturday morning.”

“I had a mac n cheese bowl and one of their many ridiculous matcha flavours (hot matcha with caramel). It was all very delicious and the staff are lovely. Had a seat in the corner. It is a bit noisy and is mostly 2 seater tables, not loads of comfy seating. I did go at a busy time.”
