Real Reviews

Genuine reviews from real people who have recently visited The Village.

Loved the enthusiasm of all the volunteers and staff, dressing up and demonstrations were well done as was the historical facts upon entering the buildings. The tractor ride and train ride were fun. Food options good if you forgot to bring a picnic basket as there is plenty of shade and grass to sit down as well as some covered table settings.

Had a great day, my partner and my 2 Grandsons it was their first time. What surprised me was the “ Cartwright Cottage “ the original owners John and Julie Cartwright and the Micocks/mycocks are related to me as I showed the gentleman out the front playing his musical instruments I spoke to him about it. I rang dad and now he wants to come and see his relatives place back in the 1870’s.
